Personal mastery is developed through the daily honing of your passions.  It is a never ending journey; one of trial and error and exploration and discovery.  It is what we accomplish even when we are unmotivated, tired or frustrated.  It is the commitment to persevere even when we have failed or even laughed at.  Personal mastery is a private and quiet commitment that we make to ourselves, not one made boisterously in public.  It is a commitment of a lifetime.

The best day of your life is the one in which you decide your life is yoru own.  No apologies or excuses.  No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.  Epictetus

There is not great talent without great will power.  Buddha

Personal mastery teaches us to choose.  Choosing is a courageous act; picking the results and actions which you will make into your destiny.  Peter Senge
