Self Mastery - What is It?
What is self-mastery? It involves learning how to control yourself in every situation, which helps you to move forward toward your life goals. When you've mastered this characteristic, you know what your purpose is and you've developed the self-discipline you need to move forward toward your purposes in an honorable, focused, and deliberate way.
