Here's How to Cut-over to the Realm of Mastery

Even before going ahead with answering that question; let's ask another question. Why climb the steep mountain of mastery, why not simply chug along having fun? Because the first leads to joy and fulfilment; and the second path ultimately leads to purposelessness, emptiness and mediocrity. Another word for where the second path leads to is the mid-life crisis, which is nothing but the call of the Universe reminding you to walk towards your highest purpose. 

Read on, only if you choose mastery over mediocrity, purpose over a wasted lifetime, joy over intermittent excitement.

As per William Glasser, American psychiatrist - 
We Learn:
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we see and hear
70% of what we discuss
80% of what we experience
95% of what we teach others.

To get what we want, we need to learn and understand it really well. For that, as per the above, we need to teach it to others. That is why I teach others how to realize their greatest dreams in deepest communion with their highest self and have it all; because I figured that is the only way I could create it for myself.

Therefore, the key to getting what you want is to give it to others. Newton said it too, in what we call his third law - Every action has equal and opposite reaction. If you want to be a master of your field, make others experts of your domain.

The journey to being a Master of your Craft has five stages:
1. Amateur: This is the stage of Passive Learning, when you learn on your own through reading works of masters in the field, training yourself through material available in the public domain.
2. Professional: This is the stage of Active Learning, when you implement whatever you are learning to make a difference to your chosen target community. 
3. Expert: You become an Expert by learning through Apprenticeship, when you learn directly from an existing Master of your Craft.
4. Mentor: You become a mentor when you coach others to become Experts in your domain.
5. Master: You finally become a Master when you coach other coaches to coach others to become Experts in your domain. This is when you go inside your craft and become it.

Its like St Francis of Assisi said - It's in giving that we receive. Mastery is achieved by giving away all that you have learnt. 

The Conscious Mind is able to process only about 15 bits of information from the available 15 million bits of information at any one point. For mastery, one needs to go deeper to be able to access, assimilate, integrate, create much more than the conscious mind is capable of doing.
​
The journey to mastery takes you from your Conscious Mind; to being aware of your self-created barriers sitting in the Sub-Conscious Mind; healing yourself for release and freedom from those barriers; to finally transitioning to the Super-Conscious Mind which is your doorway to the Universal Consciousness where all the secrets are hidden. All Masters feel a deep connection with the Universe, God or any other name you may want to give to the essence of The Absolute.

Ramanujan saw God in numbers. Einstein wrote “To sense that behind everything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly." and furthermore, "Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe—a Spirit vastly superior to that of man." As per Henry Ford, America's most well-known businessman whose work transformed how humanity travels, "With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about."

In the end; Craft Mastery, Leadership Depth, Business Excellence all lead to the same spot which is your highest self living in the expression of your purpose this lifetime, making a huge difference to the world through what you do.

Wishing you courage, clarity and confidence to follow your heart to realize your greatest dreams in deepest communion with your highest self and have it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, joyful relationships, happy responsible kids and lots of nourishing me-time; while transforming the world through your craft, your life, your game.

Love,
​Jyoti.
