    About this ebook

    As a man thinks within himself, so he is.

    Have you ever wondered why some people do phenomenally well and others seem to merely exist? Why do some pilot their lives with great resilience, while others are derailed by suicide or other debilitating thoughts or behaviors? Success is not based on the things you do; it is based on your state of being. The higher your emotional intelligence is, the higher your success rate will be. Self-mastery is about learning how to pilot your life with such accuracy that you will no longer zigzag through life, but lead a course that will guide you straight to destiny.

    “Self-Mastery: The Lost Key to Living an Overcoming and Fulfilling Life grabs your attention and raises important dialogue on transformation. I used this material with twenty-three hundred male offenders in our correctional facility, and it proved to be a bestseller for transforming lives. It provides the solution for anyone who may have taken the wrong exit off the road map of life.”

    - Dr. Linda Brock, Chaplain, McRae Correctional Facility; Dublin, Georgia

    “The Mosses provided Self-Mastery training to my crew prior to a major deployment. Their training made my crew resilient and enabled us to exceed our mission goals in an unprecedented manner! If you want to experience life like never before and dare to venture into unchartered waters and achieve self mastery so that there are no limitations in what you can do, then this book is for you.”

    - LCDR Kat Wijnaldum, USN

      Financial Knowledge Is Power Only If You Apply It

      Foreword

      37007.png 37008.png

      Have you ever wondered what life would be like if it was NOT filled with seemingly endless cycles of drama? During those times, your world seems to be filled with spiritual and emotional ups and downs. It makes you feel as if your life was on a roller coaster. Often times, we unconsciously get on this roller coaster-of-life when we make daily decisions based on our thoughts, feelings, emotions, or opinions. Well, it’s time to start living a more fulfilled life. "Self-Mastery" is an essential step to making that fulfilled lifestyle YOUR reality. Even if you are experiencing a fulfilled life, "Self-Mastery" will empower you to empower others. So, it’s a MUST read!

      Self-mastery is about achieving results. Documented…quantifiable results. As a youth and family life coach for the past 30 years, I have witnessed tremendous life changing experiences with youth and adults alike. That happens when individuals apply and master self-empowering principles like the ones outlined in Self-Mastery. It is an invaluable and practical roadmap to lead to a foundation for success whether it applies to relationships, finances, educational pursuits, professional endeavors, business ventures, or any other rewarding experiences you desire.

      The authors of Self-Mastery provide us with practical antidotes and personal life experiences as examples to begin living fulfilling lives. Self-mastery is about REAL self-empowerment. The journey to real self-empowerment starts every day. Each day we can take one small step to control and master our thoughts, feelings, emotions and opinions. In doing so, our perspectives change; our motivation begins to go through the roof; and we begin to live life on purpose. What! No more roller-coaster lifestyle!

      We are all capable of influencing every environment and situation we encounter. Self-Mastery provides you with the tools to do just that. Self-mastery is more about transformation rather than changing. Changing suggests altering our appearance or behavior based on the situation or environment we encounter. The down side to changing is that we maintain the very properties or qualities that created our undesired conditions to start with. Those qualities remain a part of our internal toolbox as a resource that we rely on if situations dictate. Take water for example. When water is heated, it changes to vapor. When it gets cold, it changes to ice. When left at room temperature, it changes to liquid. Water changes its appearance based on the situation it is in. However, its inherent qualities are essentially the same. Like water, so many of us determine our responses or reactions based on our changing environments. What a way to live!

      Transformation, on the other hand, suggests an emotional and spiritual metamorphosis in order to experience life beyond our wildest dreams. Take the caterpillar for example. The caterpillar consciously and willingly goes through a metamorphic process because it knows that its life has greater meaning (Okay, we know it’s a natural occurrence but, follow my point). A caterpillar experiences the freedom of flight as a butterfly because it chooses to go through certain stages of development in order to discard all those things that were preventing it from living a fulfilled life. In the end, its life as a butterfly could never be mistaken for that of a caterpillar regardless of the outside temperature or other situations it may find itself in. Once becoming a butterfly, the qualities of the caterpillar becomes nonexistent but, rather the butterfly lives by a totally different set of principles in order to live its life the way it was intended. The butterfly now relies on its newly infused but time-tested qualities to influence its various environments. Self-Mastery provides the reader with those newly infused qualities that we can use each day. It motivates and inspires you to live a life of purpose and to fulfill your divine potential. Enjoy the read and prepare to soar with your new wings as you shed those things that bind you to earth!

      Introduction

      37016.png 37017.png

      This book, Self-Mastery: The Lost Key to Living an Overcoming and Fulfilling Life, is written to help people understand how their personal history has everything to do with where and who they are today and how their lives can be significantly transformed if their focus is appropriately re-directed. Many people rarely live fulfilled lives because they allow the crises they face or have faced to become their life. What a difference life would be if we processed the unexpected events that occur in our lives as events that mature us, some of which occur to make us stronger.

      During the Great Depression, many people took their own lives because they could not see past the current events fueled by media frenzy. Engaging in too much negative media reporting is especially
