What Is Self-Mastery?
April 12th, 2007
I’ve been asked multiple times about Self-Mastery: for the past 10 years, our firm has been studying the strongest factors associated with Self-Mastery and training individuals in how to attain more of it. Of course, in order to study a concept, it is important to define that concept first. Self-Mastery, to us, is the ability to exhibit strong influence over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Many people we’ve talked to use the term “control” of self when talking about Self-Mastery (instead of our preferred term: “strong influence” with one’s self). The way we see it, complete control over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors would make one robot-like, while being able to strongly influence ourselves on a regular basis allows for both Self-Mastery and spontaneous, creative, “uncontrolled” thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Complete control over oneself, we think, would make for a boring, restricted life!
