Week 6

What I found this week to be most important was finding a balance in life and having boundaries. Entrepreneurs are often seen as people with no boundaries and poised to be successful with no added time for useless activities. However, we should set ground rules to live by and take personal time for our families. With balance we can achieve a higher means of greatness and prosperousness results. In everything we do if there is no equilibrium then there is a ricketiness and things tend to come apart from the seems.

Another great lifelong lesson is about having self-mastery and the ability to implement it by putting it into action. The two elements that an individual needs to succeed and put into action are first, to determine your course of action or our moral standards. The next element you need is the will power to succeed; what drives you to reach your goals.  Leonardo da Vinci said, “the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery.”  Having self-mastery is a skill we all need to obtain as it will help keep us balanced and on the narrow path.

In order to keep these relevant to our lives, an individual must have a journal of daily and weekly activities to reflect upon. This will ensure we have a balance in all things and hold to the boundaries we set and the ground rules. Solomon was a man remembered for his great wisdom but he said, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.” Just like Solomon, once that we learn to control our own lives we will be able to master all the other things. Once we create the path then and only then the wind of prosperity will fill our sails and carry us through the seas of life.
