Mastery

"All man's well-being depends upon two things: one is the right choice of aim, of the end to which actions should tend, the other lies in the finding of the actions that lead to that end."
-Aristotle

Have you ever achieved a goal and thought to yourself "is that it?" Something was missing?

Maybe the answer to that question was 'the journey'.

I want to shift focus from achieving goals to the path of mastery. Now there is no doubt that a great deal of happiness can be achieved through attaining the goals we seek (providing they were attained without having to break your own core beliefs). But there is a flip side. I believe a balance between achieving the goals and enjoying the journey is essential.
