Working towards mastery and leaving mediocrity behind... that's the journey I started just over a year ago. My experiences and all I have learned, have been substantial over the course of this amazing journey. Prior to embarking on this path I would say that for me, parenting and job performance are two areas that mastery were already part of my life and mediocrity filled in the rest. Reflection and awareness have played major roles in reducing the mediocrity and in getting me to where I'm at today.
Consciously or unconsciously, many of us strive for and achieve mastery in some area of our life while letting mediocrity take over most other aspects of our being and not understanding all that we are missing. I have a new appreciation and understanding of "awareness" and what it means for me personally. With that awareness comes new challenges. As I move forward and implement what I have learned, I find that those closest to me are in a different place and don't relate to this journey that I am on. It is hard to keep up the momentum without the support and understanding of those close to you. I have to remind myself that I am not alone in this journey and that each and everyone of us can make a difference. Knowing where I was a year ago, and how far I've travelled, I wouldn't want to go back, but I am feeling a bit stuck right now.
