There’s mastery of our craft, which is our career, athletic goals, finances, relationships, etc. Basically anything that’s tangible or easily measurable. Then there’s mastery of self – our internal world of thoughts and emotions.*

Most of us have been taught that we achieve an external/tangible goal, and that will lead to our inner happiness, peace of mind, self belief, etc. However when we hit that goal, we’re not as satisfied as we thought we’d be.

We’ve two choices now, look inward or pursue the higher goal.

In this episdoe I explain why when we start to look inward it can feel uncomfortable and why we’ll often return to the familiar zone of working on our tangible goals (despite knowing they haven’t given us the results we were looking for previously.)
