Five Keys of Mastery

I am really enjoying the reading in the book Mastery. The principle of mastery is one that I have been building on throughout my life, but this book is putting it in context for me in a way that seems manageable and helps me to wrap my mind around it better.

The five Keys of Mastery are principles that I hope to make more concrete in my mind and in my life as I endeavor to master being a wife, mom, grandma (in the future), sister, student, disciple, etc.

Five Keys of Mastery:

1. Instruction 
2. Practice
3. Surrender
4. Intentionality
5. The Edge

These are so helpful to me in creating a path to mastery in earning my college degree, in photography, being a better partner with my husband and strengthening my family/children. Those are my main focuses and drives right now in my life. I loved the reminders to stay focused on the Lord. I really loved some of the quotes that Elder Tanner put into his talk. 

The Key of intentionality in the book was one that I haven't thought about as much in my pursuit of mastery. It was interesting how influential that principle plays in the master's journey. I am excited to explore and put that into better practice. The older I get, the easier that seems to be to me. To just be.
