Mastery is not only for a handful of people — it’s available to everyone. Our culture progresses when we encourage people to explore their unique untapped potentials, accessing their inner capacity to blossom under the right conditions. The traditional view of mastery limits our possibilities.

We tend to get the most entangled with the things we want the least. When we push against something, we often energetically produce more suction towards it. This may seem upside down, but, when we take a look at how energy works — it actually makes a lot of sense.

Failed expectations, unlikable outcomes, and harsh disappointments. All of these results can set off an intense reformatting in our energy. As makers, this is something we have to deal with on a constant basis, especially when generating more complex objects.

There is a true, clean version of the cultural misnomer, “separate the artist from the art” which we will discuss today. The artist is not their art at any point, but the energy of the art is defined by the artist and we cannot remove that fact.

We often think that we have to bash another’s success in order to achieve our own. What if I revealed to you that participating in and enjoying other people’s success as an observer, actually makes you more successful at generating what you want for yourself.
