Always start with state

The more elevated your state, the greater your story, the simpler your strategy

Elevated State
Great Story
Simple Strategy
01
The Foundation
State

Always start with state, state is first, it is spiritual.

An elevated state is our conscious awareness of the nearness of God.

Don't tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big your God is.

Catch yourself in the act of being generated.

You don't have to try to be spiritual, you are spiritual. It's natural to be supernatural.

If we don't live from overflow, we will burn out.

Focus · Frame · Engage.

The greatest driving force is to live consistent with your true identity.

Success without fulfillment is the greatest failure.

A depressed state is a deep rest from all performance, the cure begins in the spirit.

02
The Meaning
Story

Power of "I am" declarations, your identity shapes your reality.

I am a master of meaning.

Nothing has meaning except the meaning I give it.

Meaning is extremely powerful, it has the power to create and to destroy.

I am responsible for the meaning I create.

Abracadabra, I create as I speak.

The facts don't equal the story. The facts don't speak for themselves.

The brain is a story-telling machine.

To take the power back, we need to get between the facts and the story.

Negativity bias: it's 80% easier to focus on what's wrong, but what's right is always available.

03
The Action
Strategy

Renounce the form. Commit to daily 1% growth. Progress is happiness. Meet reality.

SMART: Strategic · Measurable · Actionable · Reasonable · Time-defined.

Complexity is the enemy of progress, the tyranny of "how" keeps us stuck.
