99% don't understand.

Hey friend, 

Here is what the 99.99% do not understand about growth/education…

That while information & environment are important & may be factors in the process, they are not the things that actually allow someone to move forward & beyond what they currently are into something greater.

The common person believes it’s all about information, knowledge, the courses, the books & “being in the right room“…

The common person in 2024, runs themself around in great circles of futility from thing to thing, program to program, how-to - how-to, network to network, advice to advice… all the while denying & ignoring the thing that creates everything in their life: themselves.

All of this running in circles only creates a habit of…

• elevating others while denying your own significance

• consuming the words of others, while denying your own own inner brilliance & wisdom

• working harder and harder, to only end up in the same or worse position

See, the frontier we are exploring here is the fact that there is something to be discovered beyond the foundation of what could be considered common personal development. Not to say it isn’t valuable or even required - but to say if you wanted to continue to grow past this foundation, you would have to move beyond these common ideas in order to do so. Unless you wanted to spend the rest of your life in opposition to life, fighting, pushing, hustling, managing…

The frontier we are exploring here is the idea that all of this, isn’t about growing a great business, having all the freedoms, getting in incredible shape, or becoming an intellectual hero. That all of these things are merely building blocks, resources, tools that are calling and inviting you into a greater adventure. The great adventure into what it is that you are. To create & express with highest authenticity what you are, and nothing more and nothing else.

The frontier we are exploring here is the idea that the common person is stuck because they do not understand the nature of growth, of life, and so they spend their whole life in opposition to it.

The frontier we are exploring is that there is something far beyond what we have seen up until now, experienced up until now. And it is waiting for us… to let go of what we think we know and have the courage to step into the great unknown.

It may seem esoteric, strange, vague. 

You could label it “spiritual“ 

You could disregard as impractical 

Or you could come on the adventure & explore it with me, in this process of asking new questions.

All are welcome. But be aware- this is a journey you will have to take alone.
