Masters acknowledge others and Luck/God/Universe.
The master knows he is connected to something bigger than himself. The master is one part of the whole.
Sometimes things fall into place for her, and she acknowledges this. She may consider it God, or the Universe, or fate, or the muse, or even incoherent luck, but she knows that the whole has contributed. She does not drink her own bathwater.
He also knows that he is not self-made and there is no such thing. The very concept of self-made is oxymoronic.
The master asks for review, takes criticism, and adjusts. Not for external validation but for growth.
He always gives credit to others and the whole. He is thankful for those before him and with him and who come after him. The master makes gratitude part of his daily practice.
The master knows she is not alone, nor could she have made it alone.
