SELF-MASTERY IS THE KEY

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.

On this beautiful Sunday, let’s talk a little bit about self-discipline and self-mastery. Napoleon Hill once said, "You either control your mind, or it controls you," and that’s real talk. Mastering your mind and your habits isn’t easy, but it’s necessary if you want to master your life. Hill also pointed out that self-mastery is the hardest job you'll ever take on, but without it, life will run you over. And lastly, he reminds us that when you build your own sound character, you can handle life’s curveballs without getting knocked off your game.

Now, let’s be real—of course, you can manifest things without having self-mastery or self-discipline. We see it every day. The woman who finds "the love of her life", every 3 months. Somebody inherits a large estate, wins the lottery, or gets a raise, but soon enough, they lose it, spend it all, or end up right back where they started—living paycheck to paycheck, just like when they were making $13 an hour. So yes, you can manifest without mastering yourself, but self-mastery is what allows you to keep it, be disciplined with it, and truly grow with it. It's the difference between reaching outside yourself for something and realizing that you are that something.

    is a person who lacks self-control.

Before you can even think about walking into those new rooms of abundance, love, prosperity, all the things you're manifesting, you’ve got to master yourself first. Know that self-mastery is not what’s only going to open those doors for you. It’s what's gonna keep you in those rooms. It's what allows you to level up and move into those next phases of life. You’ve got to get real with yourself, put in the work, and watch how everything starts shifting in your favor. When you're ready to make changes, that inner work is what lays the foundation for your growth.
