Interesting question:.... I'd say at a certainly point we've all mastered what life is... to a point. Point of course is that none of us truly "master" anything but rather continue to try for those moments of mastery.
Myself? Became what most would see as a "master" of the martial arts style Isshinryu Karate. Competed as the youngest man in the masters division in the world championships of 1995. Many times as years have gone by my sensei has wanted to advance me to higher levels of blackbelt but my response is always the same. "I've come further than I ever expected already and I'm always a student of the way and certainly not a master".
In my job prior I was a master carpenter and master cabinet maker from years of labor...
My current job as a construction inspector I'm a Master Code Professional... highest level of certification there is... but it's just a title that my boss likes having a MCP on staff.
Final thought..... "Master" is just a term put to years of patient study and success that in my opinion only shows your ability to continue to learn.... Those things that came easily you learned nothing from... only sweat,anguish , and pain provide the best lessons.
