Success is a label that the world confers on you, but mastery is an ever-onward 'almost.'
Sarah LewisI wanted a business that I didn't have to give my life to - something simple, beautiful and branded. The kind of endeavor where I could meet people but still blow people's minds with a very inspiring point of view. So, a shoe store.
Sarah LewisShoes are money well spent and a good metaphor for life: everything else in life may be awful but a shoe will cheer me up, lift my body and take an outfit up five levels. Plus, shoes are easy to carry and fun to collect.
Sarah LewisMastery is in constantly wanting to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Sarah LewisMastery requires endurance. Mastery, a word we donโt use often, is not the equivalent of what we might consider its cognateโperfectionismโan inhuman aim motivated by a concern with how others view us. Mastery is also not the same as successโan event-based victory based on a peak point, a punctuated moment in time. Mastery is not merely a commitment to a goal, but to a curved-line, constant pursuit.
