I don't have to tell any of you that throughout the history of the world, some people have sought to control other people's lives. From the garden-variety politician to dangerous dictators - they all fancied themselves as the anointed ones. And, when people seek to control your life, it's usually for their benefit, certainly not for yours. It is all about power. Those who have the power try to exert mastery over others.
Thankfully, we live in societies that have evolved. People are becoming much more aware of their power. We have started to realize the power we have to control our own destinies and our ability to achieve Self-Mastery. We are no longer as reliant upon, or freely accepting of, slick talking politicians telling us what to do or how to think. And that's a good thing.
The most exciting thing that I will share with you today is that the key to individual Self-Mastery is available to all of us. Each of us can achieve our own degree of Self-Mastery, and therefore, reach all of our goals, and all of our dreams for ourselves, our family members, and our loved ones.
The key to our individual Self-Mastery can be summed up in one word. That word is, "Information." Those who have access to information can have power. They can transform themselves and others in ways that were unimagined just a few years ago.
What I've said about the power of information leaves an obvious question. But before I get to that question, a few points.
All of us understand that the knowledge needed to transform anyone's life is available to everyone. It's available to the drug addict on the street corner, just as it's available to the kid in college.
- It's also available to the grandmother.
- It's available in libraries.
- It's available with further schooling.
- It's available in eBooks online.
- It's available in teleseminars.
- It's also available in this article.
The opportunity to pick up on the specialized information that we need to transform our lives is everywhere. Given this, Why do some people generate incredible results, while others scrape by?
Asked another way, "Why isn't every person empowered, wealthy, healthy, achievement-oriented, and successful?"
The reality is that even in our high-tech, high-knowledge world, just having information is not enough. If all any person needed were ideas - then everybody would be on top of the world. We'd all be rich in accomplishments.
The truth is that action is what turns information and ideas into achievement.
Action is behind every great Success. Action leads to achievement. Information and knowledge are only potential, until they get into the hands of someone who knows how to make himself or herself take effective and powerful Action!
I have long observed that we all get great opportunities in our lives. The difference is that only a very few recognize and take action with their opportunities.
Self-Mastery is all about the ability to Take Action!
What you achieve in your life is determined by your ability to take individual Action!
Sometimes we get into the self-destructive trap of thinking that those who've achieved tremendous success were lucky or have some unique "gift" that we as normal people don't have. The reality is that the gift that they have is not a secret or unique or even, a "gift!"
The "gift" they have is the courage to take effective and Powerful Action. As a result, they have the ability to achieve Self-Mastery. I cannot emphasize enough that each of us can develop Self-Mastery. Each of us!
