“Mastery requires endurance. Mastery, a word we don’t use often, is not the equivalent of what we might consider its cognate—perfectionism—an inhuman aim motivated by a concern with how others view us.

Mastery is not merely a commitment to a goal, but to a curved-line, constant pursuit.” MomentsUseMightGoalLinesViewsEventsVictoryCommitmentConcernAimConstantPursuitEnduranceMotivatedMasteryPerfectionismMoments In TimeOften IsInhuman Book:The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery Source: The Rise: Creativity, the Gift of Failure, and the Search for Mastery
