1. Master your stories, but don\u2019t let them master you.<\/strong> She has but does not possess acts but does not expect.<\/p>\n When her work is done, she forgets it.<\/p>\n That is why it lasts forever. But it can also be our downfall:<\/p>\n The addict is deluded by their story of how their addiction doesn\u2019t hurt anyone except themselves 2. Chronic business is the death of productivity.<\/strong> Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.<\/p>\n Do your work then step back; the only path to serenity. Learn to work despite your feelings and you\u2019ll find yourself both happier and more productive.<\/p>\n 3. Embrace the rugged.<\/strong> His constant practice is humility.<\/p>\n He doesn\u2019t glitter like a jewel but lets himself be shaped by the Tao,<\/p>\n As rugged as a common stone. 4. In your imperfection is your potential.<\/strong> If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.<\/p>\n If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.<\/p>\n If you want to be reborn, let yourself die. Invulnerability, strength.<\/p>\n In humility, power.<\/p>\n 5. There\u2019s power in letting go.<\/strong> It can\u2019t be gained by interfering. Hard work and perseverance should be one gear among many. And while often useful, there are certain situations when the ability to let go and be a little lazy is what moves you forward:<\/p>\n You can\u2019t\u00a0work hard\u00a0to fall asleep. You have to let sleep happen. So why are you going through life with hard work as your only tool?<\/p>\n 6. Be skeptical of your own thoughts.<\/strong> Learn to see your thoughts for what they are \u2014 just thoughts \u2014 and judge them accordingly.<\/p>\n 7. Loss is inevitable. Face it with courage.<\/strong> You waste so much of your time, energy, and potential with your elaborate illusions of control and certainty and the false relief they provide.<\/p>\n But you know, deep down, it\u2019s a sham. Loss and death are inevitable. Chaos and uncertainty are intrinsic features of reality.<\/p>\n Have the courage to accept that life is short, people die, and even the best of plans fail.<\/p>\n When you stop trying to hide from loss, you can get on with truly living.<\/p>\n 8. Your constant need for control will be your downfall.<\/strong> She lets them go their own way and resides at the center of the circle. When you construct a life designed to avoid feeling helpless, your world shrinks to a pitifully narrow corridor.<\/p>\n And what kind of a life is that?<\/p>\n Safe\u2026 Probably not as much as you think. This is a good thing. It means you\u2019re living and growing and expanding.<\/p>\n Feeling helpless and out of control\u00a0feels\u00a0bad but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u00a0is\u00a0bad.<\/p>\n 9. Self-awareness is power.<\/strong> Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is power. Why aren\u2019t you building them? Which other habits do you think are more important?<\/p>\n 10. You\u2019ll never know your potential if you\u2019re afraid to be alone.<\/strong> But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness. They\u2019re terrified of \u201cbad\u201d thoughts. Scary doesn\u2019t always mean dangerous.<\/p>\n Prove that to yourself and you\u2019ll unlock layers of potential you would never have imagined.<\/p>\n All You Need to Know Master your stories, but don\u2019t let them master you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1.

\nThe Master acts without doing and teaches without saying\u2026<\/p>\n
\nOne of our greatest gifts is the ability to tell stories \u2014 to weave narratives about how things happened in the past, what something means in the present, or imagine how things might be in the future.<\/p>\n
\nThe hyperaggressive boss who\u2019s convinced himself that being tough on everyone maximizes productivity
\nThe chronic worrier believes that if she were to stop worrying it would mean she didn\u2019t really care
\nThe ability to tell stories is a tool: master it, but don\u2019t let it master you.<\/p>\n
\nFill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.<\/p>\n
\nWe fill our lives with busyness because it makes us\u00a0feel\u00a0productive. And we avoid genuinely productive work because it doesn\u2019t\u00a0feel\u00a0enjoyable.<\/p>\n
\nThe Master views the parts with compassion because he understands the whole.<\/p>\n
\nPerfection is for amateurs.<\/p>\n
\nIf you want to become whole, let yourself be partial.<\/p>\n
\nIn constraint, creativity.<\/p>\n
\nTrue mastery can be gained by letting things go their own way.<\/p>\n
\nMost of us are raised under the deception that hard work conquers all difficulties. But just because hard work solves\u00a0some\u00a0problem doesn\u2019t mean it will solve\u00a0all\u00a0your problems.<\/p>\n
\nYou can\u2019t\u00a0push harder\u00a0to convince someone of something they don\u2019t want to believe; they\u2019ll only dig their heels in further. You need to validate their beliefs while sowing the seeds of doubt.
\nYou can\u2019t work hard to\u00a0tell\u00a0your reader why your villain is evil. You have to\u00a0show\u00a0them.
\nThe master craftsman uses the right tool for the right job. She doesn\u2019t insist on trying to build an entire house with only a hammer.<\/p>\n
\nThe mark of a moderate man is freedom from his own ideas.
\nThere\u2019s nothing special about ideas: some may be brilliant, some may be true, some may be helpful. But most of them are lame, incorrect, and unhelpful.<\/p>\n
\nIf you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss and you can accept it completely.
\nStop living in denial.<\/p>\n
\nThe Master sees things as they are, without trying to control them.<\/p>\n
\nYour greatest weakness is your unwillingness to tolerate helplessness.<\/p>\n
\nComfortable\u2026 Sure, comfortably numb.
\nPredictable\u2026 Maybe, but how much fun is a completely predictable life?
\nIf you\u2019re living a full life, you\u2019re bound to run into hard edges \u2014 situations that far exceed your meager ability to control and influence.<\/p>\n
\nKnowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is wisdom.<\/p>\n
\nWhat are the consistent habits and routines you could build into your life that would promote\u00a0self-awareness?<\/p>\n
\nOrdinary men hate solitude.<\/p>\n
\nDeep down, people are afraid to be alone because they\u2019re afraid of their own minds:<\/p>\n
\nThey\u2019re worried about scary feelings.
\nThey dread painful memories.
\nThey\u2019re ashamed of illicit desires.
\nYes, the mind can be a scary place. But so can Disneyland.<\/p>\n
\nThe way of self-mastery is challenging but the rewards are countless.<\/p>\n
\nBusyness is the death of productivity.
\nEmbrace the rugged.
\nIn your imperfection is your strength.
\nThere\u2019s power in letting go.
\nBe skeptical of your own thoughts.
\nLoss is inevitable. Face it with courage.
\nYour constant need for control will be your downfall.
\nSelf-awareness is power.
\nYou\u2019ll never know your potential if you\u2019re afraid to be alone.<\/p>\n
