Week 7 - Ethics, Integrity and Self-Mastery go hand in hand.

Well, it's been yet another week. 

This week was good. I found myself doing a lot of internal reflection and finding some things I did and some things I didn't like. 

The videos and papers we read had to do with integrity and Ethics in my other class and this class was about mastery mostly.

I listen to a podcast called Startup and this most recent episode has a lot of what I would consider reflection.

It addresses some of the hard things we have to do in life. It may be applicable to you, it may not but I think that listening to the process of how they got there was great and could be applied by anyone if they truly wanted it.

I found it curious that all these classes and things aligned.

In order to truly master something, you have to be aware of yourself. Your thoughts, feelings, etc. You have to do a kind of deep dive into the dark spaces of your soul to figure out what makes you tick.

Everything mixed in a sort of wonderful cocktail of introspection that made me think a lot.

We did a book report on the book Mastery by George Leonard. It addressed the principle of mastery and how we go about achieving it. The most interesting part is that there isn’t an end goal necessarily. It’s a goal unto itself and has no end. It’s learning to enjoy the process and not just scrambling for an end goal. You should read it if you haven’t.

Until next week.
