Life mastery requires persistence, commitment, passion, and hard work. Do you want to know how to decide what to focus on and master? I’m here to show you. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I would like to share with you what has worked for me, and hopefully it resonates with you.
Like many entrepreneurs, when I first started growing my business, I made a lot of mistakes, which was a great learning experience for me. The beauty of mistakes is that they clarify what it is that we really want and how we want to live our lives. Robert Kiyosaki said it best, “Don’t waste a good mistake. Learn from it.” An MRI study published in the journal, Nature Communications, found that making a mistake can feel good, if our brains are given a chance to learn from it.
At the end of the day, I believe that the determining factor for how to decide what to focus on and master in your life is to live in accordance with your vision and purpose. What makes you come alive inside? If you don't wake up every day feeling a sense of excitement and vitality for the day ahead, it's time to make a change.

My true passion in life is self-development. The clearer that you are about the direction that you want your life to take, the happier and more fulfilled that you will be. That is what you need to focus on and master in your life. This is the path to life mastery.
That being said, my passion has evolved and changed over the years, and that is OK. Passions can influence your identity, but they don’t have to define who you are. I went through a phase where I wanted to master business and marketing, but now I’m at a stage in my life where I want to master self-development in its totality. If you love what you do, passion is easy.
Change can be difficult, especially when it requires breaking years of bad habits. Although I am a proponent of mastering all areas of your life, I also know that it can be challenging to change too much at once. If you want to master your life, you need to find ways to be consistent.
Research has shown that you are two to three times more likely to stick with your habits if you make a specific plan for when, where, and how you will perform the behaviour.
It is impossible to be in balance, 100% of the time. It does not exist. If you try to force mastery, you will drive yourself crazy. When children are playing on a seesaw and it’s in balance, do you think they are having fun? No. We need to be in conscious imbalance in order to move, perform at our best, and enjoy life.
In the quest to understanding who you are and what matters in your life, sometimes you need to swing from one extreme to the other. In doing so, you will find your flow and discover a balance that will satisfy your goals and dreams. In the words of Joyce Meyer, “Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don’t live in a perfect world.”
At certain times in my life, I have focused my energy on mastering different areas of my life. For example, when I was younger, I placed more emphasis on mastering my mind, emotions, and relationships because I wanted to grow my self-confidence and improve my dating skills. I didn’t care about business and finances.
Oftentimes we look at each area of life in isolation from one another. However, eventually I got to a point where I realized that each area of my life worked together and affected one other. I knew that if I mastered my mind and emotions, it would support my business and finances. If I improved my health, it would help my relationships because I would feel more confident.
How to decide what to focus on and master in your life doesn’t have to be a difficult process. A clear sense of purpose allows you to focus your efforts on what matters most. If you want to achieve life mastery, you need to fall in love with the process of it. It requires that you are committed, disciplined, hardworking, and most of all, passionate.
Find out what it is that makes you come alive and then devote all of your energy to it. When you do so, life mastery becomes yours for the taking.
