"Mastery is in the reaching, not the arriving. It's in the constantly trying to close that gap of where you are and where you want to be. Mastery is about sacrificing for your craft and not for the sake of crafting for your career." Sarah Lewis, writer, TED talk, March 2014

NOTES YOU NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE THEY MAY BE RELEVANT... OR NOT BASED ON WHO YOU TALK TO, EITHER WAY, beware:

"a friendship with a narcissistic person, you can expect them to become aggressive in emotionally immature ways. Belittling you, calling you names, targeting your greatest strengths, smear your name to mutual friends, ruining your reputation are some tactics employed by them. They will also attack your greatest strengths to hit you in a place that attacks your core values and honor. This happens through a process called mirroring /projection.

To make themselves always look like the perfect person they will create stories about you to make you look like the crazy one. This can be overt where they are outright smearing your name and telling people you are crazy, or they could be more covert and be very subtly using tactics like creating an argument to make you look unstable or telling complete lies about you to people. This tactic is crazy- making, because victims are forced to defend themselves against these false accusations."

Don't let it happen to you as it happened to me.

May the Force Be With You!
