Self mastery can be considered as a state of being able to have control over oneself and having gone through identification of one’s strength and weakness. This is a skill that sets a person apart from many others, people nowadays struggle with identifying themselves, they live life in a recurring pattern that sometimes they themselves aren’t pleased with. It could be addiction or some other internal battle that they struggle with and some have gotten to the point of accepting defeat due to the feeling that it’s impossible to overcome. Only self mastery makes a person capable of deciding what they accept to control their lives, we live in a world full of distractions and someone who struggles with self conduct must be willing to fall under the influence of the world regardless of the outcome it produces. With self mastery a person identifies new patterns, routine, trends, habits going on in their lives. Being able to identify those things is a great win, but not everyone realize that, they live life in whatever way that pleases them failing to realize, not all that tastes good happens to be good for the body.
Failing to have self mastery leads to regrettable decision making, for every actions taken a stage of decision must have been undertaken and many people give into the feeling boiling up within them in the moment only to end up in regrets wishing they reacted differently. Even though no one is perfect everyone has the power to control their urges but many fail to realize it.
Another importance of self mastery is that it brings clarity. Clarity is a state where a person is capable of seeing beyond where they currently are. A person operating in clarity finds it easier to navigate their way through life and secure their expected goal, it’s like using a magnifier to detects paths and barriers that can hinder them from getting to where they want to be. One of the greatest weapons we have as humans is our minds and a person who have mastered the use of it has escaped being enslaved by the forces that surrounds us in this world. A person with self mastery is a threat due to their inability to resist taking actions that’s destructible and they are capable of influencing others around them due to the aura they possess being calm in situations even in solitude. Pornography is one of the thing the world gives freely it happens to feel good in the moment but a hijacker in disguise and the reason why it’s all out there is due to the attempt to steal from people what many are not even aware of. It takes away focus, clarity, self-control, discipline and replaces with guilt, tiredness, anxiety, unforseen tension lack of focus. All these factors are essential for growth in a person’s life
