The meaning of life, vocation and mastery

While a person is carried and carried away by his cheerful body, he does not think about the meaning of life. Does a healthy child need a sense of life, who rushes barefoot on the sea sand and dives into the oncoming elastic waves with a run?

When the body calms down and the involvement passes, the meaning of life is felt by those who know how to do something cool, masterfully.

We are little inspired by what we can do anyhow, so-so, like everyone else. It’s not interesting, it doesn’t make sense. When we do something without pride, when we know that another will do it better than we do, then we need a salary for this work, because we don’t want to do it just like that.

Another thing is when you know and feel that no one knows how to bake pies better than you, draw such wonderful drawings and write such funny books, that only you know how to sell flowers in such a way that only you have such a perky, such a sunny smile — then you are do it because you want to do it. If you get paid for it, you will gladly get paid for it — you take pride in your work, but if you get paid for something else, you will still do what you do well. Great. Masterfully.

Mastery is the ability and habit to work deftly, skillfully and efficiently. The quality of craftsmanship makes such products difficult to reproduce in a mass way, unique. The one who works with skill and can teach skill is a master.

Appeal: “I don’t know what business I should do in life. I’m not drawn to anything … ”- quite typical. Over time, I discovered a surprising pattern: as a rule, people who can do little well do this. Those who can’t do anything are great. It is true that if a person likes something, he begins to do it a lot, with a soul, and eventually becomes a master. On the other hand, the opposite is even more true: what we can do well, we begin to like it. Maybe this makes no sense, maybe no one needs it, but if I can even move my finger coolly — it flies in any direction, as if alive — oh, even this senseless thing becomes my favorite. «Why are you twisting your finger?» “Yes, I like it!”

Become a master at one thing, another, and a third. Whatever you do, learn to do it well. When you begin to understand and feel over and over again that no one is better than you to raise these cute children, set up accounting and hold a sensible work meeting — you will want to do all these things, every day will be filled with a lot of meaning, you will start waking up every morning get up with joy and quickly to meet this wonderful day.

All it takes is to become a master.
