What does it mean to be a master; to spend each day in the tireless pursuit of something greater than yourself?
Mastery is about the pursuit, not the end goal; and for that reason mastery can never be realized. It's a commitment to a focus without understanding the value inherent in the focus. It requires a surrender to madness. It's a tireless dedication to the seemingly trivial, mundane, and inconsequential. It's an endless string of questions. It's a place where you find comfort in stillness and a different understanding of time. It's a surrender to a focus that will always be greater than you. It's frustrating, exhausting, and pushes you to quit at every turn. The pursuit of mastery is not easy; it is not for the faint of heart. Mastery is elusive, it escapes your clutches like grains of sand in your hand. But in spite of all it's challenges, mastery is beautiful. It is that moment of pause, that fleeting breath of perfection. It's that one moment that energizes our souls to seek it again. Mastery is addicting and its pursuit will challenge you in the most wonderfully unexpected ways. Pursue it with all your being.
