Self Mastery(Part II)

Published by admin under Self Improvement

The Psyche and Self Mastery

A person’s psyche is developed in the early, formative years of life through personal experience and by observing the behavior of others. Self-esteem and self-confidence are also developed through the same channels. Fundamentally, the basic belief system that one has throughout life is formed based on beliefs and experiences established in these same early years. It is this ‘belief system’ that needs constant monitoring in business or politics. Belief systems established early in life can potentially affect a person’s leadership style negatively, unless they are acknowledged and dealt with up front. This is done through practicing Self Mastery.

For example, a deeply set belief of ‘not being good enough’ may come from an incident in the school yard with a bully at the age of 10. This belief can resurface at a critical time in leadership. The leader may overcompensate by not letting go of a failing project in an attempt to establish superiority. This can steer the company in a negative direction. Not knowing when to cut losses and move in a different direction is often devastating to a business. The person who protects and supports this deeply set belief of inferiority typically is in denial of his/her pain and the denial is what causes poor decision making as a leader.

However, using the tools of Self Mastery, that same feeling of inferiority can also be used as a positive force in creating beneficial results. For instance, an opportunity may arise that appears too good to be true but the leader takes the risk because of a strong sense of trust and inner guidance attained through Self Mastery. A leader armed with Self Mastery knows the difference between acting out of fear from negative deep set beliefs and using those beliefs as a growth experience and positive force.
