Mastery
In his book, Mastery, author Robert Greene stated that the hardest part of mastering a new skill isn’t access to information or training. Nor is it the 10,000 hours of practice everyone thinks is required to master a new skill – it’s letting go of old, ego-invested beliefs about oneself.

Mastery is not a function of genius or talent; it is a function of time and intense focus applied to a particular field of knowledge.

Robert Greene gets at the core truth in his book Mastery: “Your emotional commitment to what you are doing will be translated directly into your work.4 If you go at your work with half a heart, it will show in the lackluster results and in the laggard way in which you reach the end.”
David Brooks • The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life
Peter Senge, a professor at MIT, describes mastery as something that “goes beyond competence and skills . . . It means approaching one’s life as a creative work.”7

Personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively.
