I consider myself to be an extremely self motivated
person. There is a very large yearning
to tell my story, and share the ideas I have floating around in my head. I have found that “Personal Mastery” or “Self
Mastery” or “Mastery in Living” is the most important area people can spend
their lives. The learning and growth
never ends, and as you grow it adds more benefits to other aspects of your life
than you can imagine. Through
introspection, and self knowledge, I have come to understand the many motivating
factors of my personality, and I can utilize those triggers to create and
actualize whatever I wish. You can do
the same.
But how does this apply to your life? Here’s an example. People often ask me, how did I write and
publish my book with a full time high demand job, martial arts career, and a
pregnant wife? The answer is that I have
applied my will. There are no short
cuts, there are no easy answers. The
answers may be simple, but they are NOT easy.
They require effort, and diligence to reach your goals. But once you realize this, you just get on
with it… and hence start to see the fruits of your labour over time. My first book took 7 years from start to
published. Hopefully the second book
will be out in much less time, but the important part of my story is that I
kept up with it. Much like I have with
my martial arts training… I have just kept up with it, and trained diligently
to be at the skill level I’m at. It
takes small steps, and lots of them… whenever you can fit them in. But just keep pushing, keep going, keep on,
keep on… and eventually you will see your dream come to life. The alternative is you could just sit on your
couch and play video games or watch movies… and that’s OK. Nothing wrong with that, however you may not
find the same level of satisfaction out of your life experience.
