Tim Tebow has a great quote that goes, “Don’t worry about what you can’t control. Our focus and energy need to be on the things we CAN control. Attitude, effort, focus – these are the things we can control.” These attributes are all part of self-development and self-growth, which you do have control over. The ability to master your inner self will help you achieve self-growth through personal development. If you are a master at something, it means you are exceptionally skilled and have excellent know-how in that particular area. Mastering the way you act, react, change, adapt, where your focus lies, your attitude etc., through a personal business plan, is how you will be able to control your personal growth to such an extent that it creates a life of abundance and happiness. Personal mastery is a journey of continuous improvement.

Inner self-mastery comes with a lot of practice. We can’t control occurrences on the “outside world” typically referred to as the “storms” in our lives. We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond, see and deal with the situation. Inner self-mastery’s foundation is to truly know who you are like your own values, your vision for yourself, your beliefs, your goals, what motivates you as well as what purpose you fulfil in this world. This becomes evident through self-discovery. Not what others think or say about you, but your own awareness of yourself.

10 Ways to Achieve Self-growth through Inner Mastery

Juan Pablo explains, “The key to inner-mastery is having patience, honesty, excellence, purity, and faith; the patience and restraint to allow things to happen in their own time instead of trying to force things and ending up frustrated.” Consider the following 10 ways to achieve this and unlock your full potential. 

1. Become more self-aware by making time for yourself and talking to yourself. This is a way to discover your goals, values, morals, and beliefs.
2. Take a hard look at yourself and assess your “weaknesses” aka “areas of improvement” and determine how you can build on them. 
3. Be mindful and create a healthy lifestyle for yourself with the correct diet, exercise, and getting enough sleep.
4. Commit to yourself but be patient with yourself. Do what you promised yourself.
5. Believe in yourself and your ability to achieve success.
6. Don’t be afraid to fail. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity. See your challenges and disappointments as steppingstones and not the end of the road.
7. Do everything to your fullest ability. Be present in the moment that you are doing something and give a 100%. 
8. Don’t dwell or obsess about past mistakes. See them also as a learning curve. You can’t turn back time. Accept the mistake and learn from it.  
9. Come up with a self-development plan, even if it is small improvements daily. If you keep practicing continuous improvement within yourself, you will excel. 
10. Get the support you need. Surround yourself with motivated like-minded people who build you up. Get a mentor to inspire, guide and help you master your inner-self.
