The mastery of self is a requisite.

And the mastery of self is really when you understand who you are and how you work, how your thoughts and emotions work in said environments.

And you have a command of yourself no matter where you are or what the conditions are.

So that's

the path of mastery of self and the path of mastery of craft.

And AI has not changed that.

If anything, it's called for a deeper investment in mastery of self and mastery of craft because the conditions are changing underfoot.

You can pick any craft that's of interest to you, whether it's athletics or entrepreneurship or artistic expressions.

And whatever that thing is, is actually not as interesting to me as the other part, which is mastery of self.

But mastery of craft is just the pond that we're agreeing to swim in, the pond that we think is interesting to swim in.

Again, whether it's a sporting pond or an artistic pond or entrepreneurship.

And it is almost like the excuse

to better understand who you are, how you're becoming, and the skills required to be artistic in your own sense of self.

And so when I think about mastery of craft and self, that gives great range to explore who are we really capable of?

Who are you capable of becoming?

And that really is the quest of mastery of self.

And again,

Just like psychology is not confined by the environment or the room that we're in, your psychology goes everywhere you go.

Your mind goes everywhere you go.

So whatever environment that you're inhabiting is the opportunity to work through and express yourself at the highest level.
