Master of both worlds in my own life is when I am able to balance my school work and a relationship. When crossing the threshold into college I was scared I was going to be able to have a relationship and stay in school. After awhile I was able to able to balance.
Master of both worlds is a stage in the monomythic journey when a person/hero realize nothing separate home from the new world. Also this is when the hero recognize the differences also. Noticing the changes in my relationship at home and in school, I was still able to realize our relationship stay the same.
In the book and movie Celie was able to master both worlds toward the end of the journry. She was able to keep some of the old people and new in her life. But she was able to notice the difference in her relationship with Shug and Mr. Albert. A poem that reflect this reflect this stage would be Mending Well by Robert Frost.

(free verse)
One world this hand one world in the other
A little of this and a bit of that
Not knowing how to hold all this
Right now just full of bliss
One hand leans the down other is up
Put them both to the niddle
Both now are in balance
Finally they’ll all come together
