The Process

How can you take a systematic approach to unleashing your potential so you can fulfill your sacred mission? How can you create a plan for a relentless quest for courage, authenticity, and excellence so that you don’t waste your talent and die filled with regret?

Your conscience tells you that your life is a sacred gift, and you have a sacred mission. Your conscience tells you that you don’t want to live the wrong life and then die filled with regret. Your conscience tells you that you should strive to become your most courageous, most authentic, most excellent self.

Creating a plan that gives you the greatest probability of living a life that is supremely meaningful to you requires that you align your decisions and actions with dictates of your conscience. And that process is not about following guidelines or steps. It’s about asking questions and seeking answers.

• Who are you? And what do you want to do about it?

  • Who are you when you are your most courageous, most authentic, most excellent self?

• What is the biggest, most important problem you can solve with your gifts and skills? And what’s your plan to solve it?

• What are your gifts and skills?

• How can you leverage your gifts and skills to solve your problem and fulfill your mission?

• What are your deficits?

• Who can help you with those so your deficits don’t derail your mission?

• What happens if you don’t do anything, if you ignore your sacred mission?

  • How are you made better off by not addressing your problem or your mission?

• Are you giving in to distraction more than you think you should?

  • Are you drinking more than you think you should?

  • Are you eating more than you think you should?

  • Are you smoking more than you think you should?

  • Are you sitting on the couch more than you think you should?

  • Are you scrolling or swiping more than you think you should?

  • What do you want to do about it?

• You either fulfill your mission, or you waste your gift. One of these outcomes is certain. Which will it be?

  • Excellence or regret? Destiny or despair?

• What are the milestones you need to accomplish on the path to fulfilling your mission?

• What are the potential obstacles?

• How can you avoid those obstacles?

• How can you overcome the obstacles that can’t be avoided?

• Which is the first milestone you need to achieve to fulfill your mission?

  • What’s next milestone you need to achieve?

  • What are the rest of the milestones you need to achieve to fulfill your mission?

• What is your daily game plan to move closer to achieving the next milestone?

Answering all of these questions to the best of your ability allows you envision, plan, and execute your relentless quest for courage, authenticity, and excellence. By creating and executing a daily game plan, you will develop the skills you need to get the results you want.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. More desirable results require more effective behaviors, more effective behaviors require a deeper level of understanding, and a deeper level of understanding requires the insights and experiences that shift your perspective. In other words…

Practicing this philosophy in this way allows you to treat yourself like your life is a sacred gift and you have a sacred mission.

This process lasts a lifetime. This is a game you want to play for as long as possible, and that requires the effective management of will and resources because people drop out of the game when they run out of the will or the resources to continue.

In order to manage will and resources, one must practice courage, authenticity, accountability, discipline, and sacrifice.
