Self-Mastery: A Plan for Personal Success

"If you want to change the world, begin with yourself."

Preston C. Pond
The Center for Organizational Design, Inc.

Mastery: "Ascendancy or victory in struggle or competition." (Webster's New World Dictionary)

Masters are the victors of life; those who step up to the challenges and opportunities of life with the courage, determination, and wisdom to win the private and public victories.

Mastery does not happen by accident. It is a process that occurs as we interact effectively with the events and circumstances of our lives. Each moment of our lives provides an opportunity to practice mastery by expanding our visions, awakening the faculties of our minds and our hearts, and assuming full responsibility for living, growing, and contributing.
