I feel like much of the time when people think about giving a challenge a go it relates to the external world. Sport, hobbies, a software project.

For people who have financial independence, what about mastery of our internal world, our thoughts and emotions? If we can feel joy most of the time and get enjoyment from what we do, by looking after ourselves and helping others and living well, I'm not sure what else there is?

Yeah man that's a good idea. Like Maslow actualization hierarchy of needs. Somehow Marcus Aurelius meditations and stoics comes when you talk about that mastery. Could be one approach to it.
