Mastery Is The Goal

I believe that part of what we’re here on Earth to do is become masters of many skills. To achieve a big goal, you are going to have to become a bigger person. You are going to have to develop new skills, new attitudes, and new capabilities. You can lose material things, but you can never lose your mastery- what you learn and who you become in the process of achieving your goals.

In a town square in Germany, stands a statue of Christ, its hands blown off during the intensive bombing during World War II. Though the towns people could have restored the statue decades ago, they learned this more important lesson, instead placing a plaque underneath that reads “Christ hath no hands but yours.” God needs our hands to complete His tasks on Earth.”
