Mastery with Peace

I see so much anxiety in the people around me, my friends and family, peers and students. There are times I feel helpless, unable to break through the barrier that is built between them and the peace they deserve in life.

The I Ho Chuan is a program built specifically for the purpose of furthering us on our path, to get us closer to what we want and who we want to be, to empower us to make the choices and take the actions necessary to get more from life.

But I see this message getting twisted for some individuals. Instead of being empowering, the message becomes a staggering weight. Instead of knowledge it becomes resentment. Instead of a driving force, motivation to make what we want for ourselves, it becomes an unhealthy expectation of oneself or others.

Check in with yourself. What do you feel when you think about your path to mastery? Empowered, confident, bold? Or resentment, anxiety, burden?

What do I want for you? I hope we’re on the same page with regard to this. I want you to achieve the depth of understanding and ability, in whatever field you are passionate about, that constitutes as mastery. I want you confident enough to feel pride, humble enough to admit limitations, and empowered enough to make the choices that will get you what you want.

We always strive to become a better version of ourselves. But this does not mean we cannot know peace. Find that balance for yourself; be driven but without anxiety or ego. Be confident, confident enough to be comfortable with your shortcomings. Take pride in both your achievements and failures. Embrace the journey.
