“We fail to realize that mastery is not about perfection. It’s about a process, a journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after year. The master is the one who is willing to try, and fail, and try again, for as long as he or she lives.”

~ George Leonard from Mastery

And some words from Brian Johnson:

Mastery. If we have any desire to live at our highest potential, we MUST master the concept of Mastery. And George Leonard, a life-long learner, educator, teacher, author, and Aikido master is our ideal teacher.

In this PhilosophersNote, we explore the simple, profound truths aimed at helping us re-orient ourselves from ineffective Dabbler, Obsessive and Hacker approaches to life to one of Mastery.

Life’s too short for anything other than our best, wouldn’t you agree? My vote: let’s dedicate our lives to a path of Mastery. Starting now.
