master yourself, not the mountain

In the end, it is not the mountain that you must master, but yourself.

The key to mastery is not to master the mountains, the problems, but to master ourselves through these mountains. We all have different fears, anxieties, struggles and thoughts, so it is to master these while you’re on the walk of life. The mountains will come all along, but the better you master yourself, the better your condition to overcome mountains will become. In the end, it all comes down to you. If you keep growing, you will not only outgrow the mountains, but also yourself. By only focusing on the mountains, you will still outgrow the mountains, but your own growth may be lacking in the process.

Don’t forget that true mastery takes time. So it comes down to consistency for making true process. I believe that you can climb the mountain that is in yourself.

I have now been on this journey for about two years, mastering myself. Obviously, I am far from the time to rest, since it is a lifelong progress of becoming your best version. It has not always been my desire to become my best version, nor to inspire others to follow through with their dreams. But growing up showed me that there are things that are worth striving for. And, if personal happiness is not worth striving and going all the way for, then I do not know what else is.

My vision implies to create a society that loves one another, supports another and gives each one the room to grow. Because once we let things grow, they show their true beauty. I believe, that this is a worthwhile goal to strive for, since it is a benefit to anyone who is ready to pursue their happiness instead of fulfilling what society tells them to do.

In order to fulfill this dream, not only do I need to learn how to master myself, but I also need to learn on speaking about the importance of this, in order to get others inspired to do the same – we need to learn how to master ourselves to make the walk through life more exciting and less about negative impacts.

The life we live, is extremely influenced by the thoughts we have. Mastering yourself means mastering your thoughts and behavior in order to become what you desire to be.
