When you hear the term “life mastery,” do inspirational quotes go through your head? Or does your mind start flashing images of successful people? Perhaps people you look up to?
In this post, I’ll share twelve inspirational quotes that embody what I believe to be the spirit of life mastery. I’ve even created a cool bonus that’ll visually summarize these for you. You have to read to the end to get it, though!
Life mastery has always been an intriguing concept to me. I didn’t really know there was a name for it until recently, though.
Originally, I thought that it meant excellence and balance in all of your life’s major areas. For example, if your major life areas were work, family, health, and social circle, then life mastery would mean you had a minimum 8/10 rating in all four of those areas. However, I’ve come to realize over time that it’s so much more than that.
Like any concept, you can interpret it how you want, but here are some of the underlying aspects that seem to resonate really well with my idea of life mastery:
- Flow
- Faith
- Drive
- Vision
- Balance
- Presence
- Gratitude
- Resilience
- Fulfillment
- Congruence
- Achievement
- Connectedness
Ironically, I’ve already covered several of these topics in past blog posts, yet never really tied them into a cohesive whole. So, today, I’m going to attempt exactly that – except I’m going to do it in a way that will hopefully inspire you or maybe light a fire under your ass.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
