"Personal mastery means approaching one's life as a creative work, living life from a creative as opposed to reactive viewpoint. Personal mastery is not something WE possess. It is a process. It is a lifelong discipline. People with a high level of personal mastery are acutely aware of their ignorance, their incompetence, their growth areas. Paradoxical? Only for those of us who do not see that 'the journey is the reward.'
