Thank you for responding, Brooke.

“I feel this would fall into the category of self actualization: A good lifetime goal for anybody who would like to complete themselves to there own satisfaction while maintaining a constant flow of giving back to society, and the people they love and care about. How it looks in every day life would vary state to state, country to country, etc etc. If and when I get there I might have a better explanation.”

What the process of growing into emotional mastery looks like to me is that I become more neutral and less reactive, more aware of the slightest triggers and reactions and able to manage them in the moment so they don’t control me. I certainly have not fully mastered emotions as there are still times when anger is on slow burn and I cannot do anything about it, or my thoughts are obsessive over some perceived wrong-doing towards me. I call that my human sprout aspect, a part of me still in development. They joy is growing in self-awareness and compassion, and observing myself as my actions grow more towards my ideal of the whole human.
