The Real Path Towards Mastery

My work world is definitely pushing the limits of my training lately. My spiritual and psychological part of my training that is. I have been struggling to remain calm and confident and not get too excited about what I see happening around me or worrying too much about what may be happening to me. I have been practicing my breathing each and every day and trying really hard not to wig out. So far, I have only wigged out a little, once, for a few minutes and it was kind of embarrassing after. It really didn't make me feel better but it did help me get things into perspective.
I am not in charge of what others do and say, I can only be in charge of me, what I do and say and how I react to others.
I am responsible for how I treat others, treating everyone that I encounter everyday with fairness and kindness. That is my goal.
Each day when I wake up, I decide that I am going to be a better person at the end of the day and consciously work towards that all day.
When I surround myself with people that expect more of me than I do, I know that I am in the right place to work towards mastery. When I find myself surrounded by people who expect nothing from me, I need to hold on to my path with both hands, and work way harder to attain mastery. For me that is the real test of my resolve. Can I remain on my path when not in the perfect place, surrounded by like-minded people? Of course I can! The hard work that it takes to stay on the path is what mastery is all about.
