When I think of Mastery, I think of Star Wars and the Jedi. When Yoda was instructing young Luke
Skywalker he told him to unlearn everything he has learned to clear his
mind. What good advice when it comes to
mastering ourselves. In order in our lives to better ourselves we
must be ever vigilant in becoming better and removing the personal obstacles in
our lives that enable us to become great.
This week I learned about perseverance from James E.
Faust. When he said about persevering in
the church and doing what Heavenly Father wants us to do, Heavenly Father will
open doors to making things happen in our lives for our benefit. As we are persevering we come to know our
Lord and Savior better and gives us strength when times get harder. James E. Faust also stated that when we you
fall down get up. The strong will not
allow a fall or stumble get in the way to obtain the best prize in this life
and the next life.
I also enjoy this week’s exercise on who do we want our
personal advisory board. I have chosen
mostly people that I have admired in my readings over the years. The only person who made the list that is
still alive is my wife, the rest are profound people in the history of the
world. Their legacy lived on because
they made an impact in the lives of millions.
I would like to have those people on my board so when I leave this
mortal world, that I have left a legacy.
I am not saying I want to have millions mourn my death, but I want
people to know that I was good.
To master ourselves is a lifelong journey and must be
enjoyed also. Take the failures and say
to ourselves that we an education. Life
is too short to regret and too long to not live it.
