Question For Leo About Mastery.

[Callum Milner]

Hi!

You say you focus your efforts on one thing to master, does that mean sacrificing doing personal development?

e.g if I want to master an area say finance for example (random example). And I'm doing personal development work on having great relationships, do I have to give up all the positive growth of focusing heavily on improving my dating life etc?

 

 

 

Loving the course by the way if you end up reading this, I've already got 11 pages of notes and I'm only on the eighth video

@Callum Milner I aint no Leo. 
BUt I will answer anyway.
What you need is a selective focus. Mastery in terms of your purpose is one area of your life. One puzzle piece of the big-picture.
If you by "personal development" mean consciousness work, then it is almost necessary. Consciousness work enhances your direct experience, increases your efficiency, and makes every-day and mundane activities enjoyable and effortless. 
Relationships increase your sense of companionship and safety. A great woman supporting you is going to result in having more energy for your life-purpose mastery. 
Aim for the big picture - which will take longer, but the journey is more fun, and the end result is waay beyond just mastery of one field.
You don't want to become a chess world-champion with neurotic relationships, sense of meaninglessness in life, social anxiety and with no money skills.

edit: in terms of knowhow
There will be times where you will have to put purpose aside to fix your neurotic mind, or work on relationships, or study money psychology.
Create a big picture in your head for your life, decide what's necessary for the vision to come true, and then distribute the work that needs to be done!

@Callum Milner No, that rule applies to your career/job/creative output. Not to your personal or spiritual development. You do those alongside whatever field you're mastering for your career.
