Rewards will always come to someone who commits to the practice, but the rewards are not the goal. The practice is the goal. I haven’t always considered how a word has been put together. I’ve learnt from it as well. I feel like it’s been a joint journey. It’s been really good to challenge my own thinking around words.”

Leonard presents a simple plot line early on, calling it the "mastery curve." Note that the plot indicates brief periods of accelerated growth, followed by longer periods of platueing: Perhaps we'll never know how far the path can go, how much a human being can truly achieve, until we realize that the ultimate reward is not a gold medal but the path itself." If you have ever striven for mastery out of love, where you lose yourself in the practice and the practice, the devotional act of being is in itself its own reward...then you will love this book. Online toolkit with Professional Development videos, eTextbooks, interactive teaching tools, and activities to strengthen and deepen understanding. On human nature:Man is a learning animal, and the essence of the species is encoded in that simple term. The mastery of skills that are not genetically programmed is the most characteristically human of all activities.

The people we know as masters don't devote themselves to their particular skill just to get better at it. The truth is, they love to practice—and because of this they do get better. And then, to complete the circle, the better they get the more they enjoy performing the basic moves over and over again." The first book in channeler Paul Selig’s widely anticipated Mastery Trilogy leads you into an unprecedented journey of self-development, at once building your personal excellence and your ability to improve life for others. An enriched approach that cleverly combines interactive teaching tools, rich and quality textbooks and practice books. The author starts by introducing the key elements of Mastery to the reader. He emphasises the fact that the journey to mastery has a start, but it is never ending. For to become a lifelong learner means you need to stay on the path. How do you best move toward mastery? To put it simply, you practice diligently, but you practice primarily for the sake of the practice itself. Rather than being frustrated while on the plateau, you learn to appreciate and enjoy it just as much as you do the upward surges."

Containerid_2 X0008 Curatenote shipped Donor What I really liked about this book is that it can be first used as an introduction to the topic of mastery but then it serves as a step by step guide to making mastery a part of your life. The instruction starts with the reasons why mastery is so rarely practiced these days and the various things people default to instead. Mastery takes extreme discipline and love for practice and improvement. This is something our society rarely has the patience for with our “get it done yesterday” attitude.

On the path to improvement: the general progression is always the same. To take the master’s journey, you have to practice diligently, striving to hone your skills, to attain new levels of competence. But while doing so, you also have to be willing to spend most of your time on a plateau, to keep practicing even hen you seem to be getting nowhere.

Leonard does include some helpful exercises for balance and centering, but overall, this book is about adjusting your mindset and not about making lists or following steps. If you want a book about finishing tasks, this isn't it. This book can, however, help you develop a mindset that will make you more successful at what you aim to accomplish.

Learning involves certain indignities, you will not look good from the get-go. Surrendering means there are no experts, only learners. Goals and contingencies, as I've said, are important. But they exist in the future and the past, beyond the pale of the sensory realm. Practice, the path of mastery, exists only in the present. You can see it, hear it, smell it, feel it. To love the plateau is to love the eternal now, to enjoy the inevitable spurts of progress and the fruits of accomplishment, then serenely to accept the new plateau that waits just beyond them. To love the plateau is to love what is most essential and enduring in your life. " The writer also suggests that we enjoy the plateau, the "straight line" in the journey where nothing seems to be improving, or de-improving. The plateau, the writer concludes is the most important part of the master's journey. Learning to embrace and anticipate the plateau in the journey, and feeling excited and looking at the plateau as a chance to learn while we wait for our next spurt of improvement, and waiting on the plateau again, and again.
