Five principles for personal mastery.

Sometimes the most significant thing in the way of our happiness is ourselves. In this article, we will learn five principles for getting out of our way and experiencing personal mastery.

Welcome to our blog. I am Shrinivas, and together we'll explore ways to cultivate absolute joy in our lives and personal vision, and also we are going to learn some competence and skills.

 So let me start first with what personal mastery is?

 And I am going to ask you a question,

all your organs in your body work for you except for one, there's one organ you work for, which is that?

 Our brain, I know you know the answer right,

that's right,

and it's the extraordinary thing, right

Our heart, beats 72 times a minute to serve us, our lungs pump 12 times a minute to serve us. but we wake up in the morning, and our brain says, this is a bad day, and so it's a bad day.

You feel hungry. And so we get up in obedience to our brain, and we go through to the kitchen, and we push something in our face.

And those are perhaps slightly trivial examples, but the truth is, if we each analyze our own lives, this extraordinary gift differentiates us from all other mammals. Our brain, we become the servant to our brain, and it shouldn't be that way.

So for me, personal mastery is when we understand the functionality of our brain well enough that we're able to have it and its tremendous power working for us.

The five principles I work with are somewhat sequential steps in my journey of discovery.

We're not a mistake

 The first one is straightforward that we're designed ideally after 40 million years of iterative design. And so the first thing for us to understand is that we're not a mistake. and if things are going wrong, we haven't understood our intrinsic design,

Things go right

The second principle is things go right when we honor our design. Your interviews and your programs around happiness are designed to be happy, yet we have an epidemic of unhappiness. That means we're not respecting and honoring our fundamental design.

We're doing something wrong. which takes me to the next step, which is personal mastery. And understanding how we become the master of our brain, our intellect, our own emotions, that's the best way to secure mother nature's gift to us, which is happiness and success.

I have two other principles that I add to that. The first one is, it's a choice.

Choice

 I use the phrase over and over again. It's in our own hands, and the gift we have is, it truly is a choice. If you want to take one thing away from this, choose happiness, and you'll be amazed how often we choose against joy.

Gratitude

Then my final principle, which ties in a little to gratitude, is that success is contagious. the body is designed in a self-healing way so is our psyche.

And if we breed happiness in some domains of our life, it's contagious.

If I foster happiness in one relationship, it's contagious. If I secure happiness at work, it goes home with me. So those are the five things that I've learned to guide my work and my life.

 Examples:- what is an example of someone who has applied one of those principles and made a change?

Creativity

One of the things I care about most is creativity, and as we lose our happiness, that's one of the first things to go. Our incredible creativity drives the world. And so I love working with artists, and I had an astonishing artist who came to me who had completely lost her edge.

And as she lost purpose, direction, and happiness that was the engine of her creativity, her art just dried up, and she's a well-known artist. And this was devastating. And just the thrill f helping her to rediscover that, she said something extraordinary she sent me an email afterwards, and she said, thank you for helping me find the woman I was meant to be. And every one of us is intended to be substantial and powerful and creative and beautiful. And that's what keeps me going.

If there is one action that we could take starting today that would put us on the path, what would that be?

Conclusion

I will give you two because I'm stubborn and complex, and there's no silver bullet. Ask how you can do better every day. Without criticism, just the substantial knowledge that every one of us has upside, and that's powerful. Celebrate with gratitude, and I have a straightforward exercise, and this is your one silver bullet for today.

Write down the three things you're most proud of, the three assets that make you powerfully, and hold onto those every day. And you'll be amazed at the power of that single action.
