| Greetings!
Welcome to the first edition of 'The Second Cup', a bi weekly e-letter from S2K Consulting, LLC. The name is purposely based on the awareness that I have of how and when I am really ready to start the cognitive part of my day. My first cup of coffee minutes after waking up serves more as a habit of my morning routine, but it's when I'm sitting down with my second cup that my brain is awake and I'm ready to truly absorb some inspiration, motivation, and positive thoughts before I jump into the inevitable to-do list that I've created the night before.
The Second Cup consists of two sections:
1. A brief thought-provoking article that will help you incorporate CORE energy leadership awareness and skills into your day-to-day life.
2. A recommended book, article, or publication that has resonated with professionals, like yourself, who are always looking for ways to maintain and improve on their peak performance in all areas of their lives.
As the name suggests, the length and scope of each month's content will be designed to nourish your motivation for the day in the time it takes to enjoy your second cup of coffee (or tea).

Mastering Your Life.
What is a master? It is someone who resonates with success. It's a person who's mindset automatically attracts the right people, places, events, and opportunities, and the same mindset that allows the person to jump over all of those opportunities with gusto, and without fear or hesitation.
I believe that while each of us can do many things well, there is really only one thing that we can truly master, and ironically, while it takes a lot of effort to become a master in what you do, there is no real effort necessary in the thing we can truly master, which is being who we are.
Each of us has a very unique makeup. That makeup, at its core, is perfect, and when we tap into our true core, our real gift to the world is revealed. When you share your true gift with the world, you can be considered a Self-Master.
Self-Mastery is made up of 3 parts:
1. Understanding that each of us has a unique gift offering to the world, and that such an offering comes when we are truly authentic.
2. Discovering (remembering) what exactly is our truly authentic self.
3. Sharing who we are with the world, in a way that only we can.
It's not what you do that matters, nor as much how you do it. Mastery is about knowing who you really are, and how you express that in what you do.
So instead of trying to better yourself to finally be at a place of deservedness, why not relax, and instead look within to find that which you were really seeking?
Self-Mastery means living an abundant, fulfilled, and enjoyable life. It means feeling in control without having to control anything or anyone. As a master, it means you are at the cause, instead of the effect of your life.
Self-Mastery means resonating at a high frequency of energy, and attracting all we could ever want into our lives, and... with little or no effort. I think this is a great way to live.
In future issues, we'll look at many things that get in the way of discovering and sharing our true selves. One by one, we'll identify those obstacles, limitations, and challenges and reveal them for what they are... distractions that can be rendered powerless through awareness and Self-Mastery. With awareness, you will be able to decide to transform and mold your world into all that you desire, to reveal your unlimited potential. |
