Master of the self
Do you have the confidence to turn your hand to whatever life throws up? Or do you only do things when you're absolutely certain you can do the required task? If you wait to be perfect before you try, you'll miss out on many promising experiences.
To master the art of everything:
- recognize your range of interests and abilities
- be motivated to go for it
- ask questions and be open to learning
The art of everything is more than being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. It is being a jack-of-all-trades and master of the self!
Message for the day
Love creates the right environment for others' positive growth.
Expression: Where there is love, a natural environment for others' growth is created. Love gives the ability to perceive the positivity in others and gives the encouragement to others to bring about that positivity and use it for the benefit of the self and others.
Experience: When I have love for others, along with perceiving their specialities, I am also able to recognize and use my specialities and inner powers more and more. Knowing and using these specialities is naturally for the benefit of those around me. This gives me an inner experience of power which makes me a constant giver and a support for those around me.
