“Mastering Others is Strength. Mastering Yourself is True Power”

-Lao Tzu

Have you ever gotten really upset or lost focus on what was important at the time because you were so focused on what others were doing? We are often so busy worrying about what others are going to do to affect an outcome and this causes a person to lose the attention that they need to perform at their given task. Lao Tzu sums it up very well in his quote. Mastering yourself is the key to true power. Every heard the quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world” by Ghandi? This is it. Be what you want to be, do what you want to see others do, and live your life with the Optimal Mindset!
