Special Edition: From the Beginning

OneGR8Life - Special Editions





Up-front I am going to apologize for this ‘Special Edition’ in substitution for our continuous OneGR8Life: Achievement Post. An amazing thing happened (distraction of the positive type) mid last week… I was offered an opportunity to brainstorming, with 4 others regarding the future of the OneGR8Life movement. In the spirit of receiving this Abundance, I ended up having to rearrange my placemat of thoughts and activities. As with all Universal gestures of abundance, you can receive it all! As with Human restraints of time, sometimes you find that you cannot do it all.


This is where I found myself come Sunday evening. I attempted to complete your next OneGR8Life: Achievement Post, the delivery of your OneGR8Life placemat, I ran into a couple of undesirable formats and decided - rather than short change the delivery of this final OneGR8Life tool, I would ask you to give me one more week.

So, I dug into the archives and unearthed this gem. It was the very first blog post I published in July, 2010.  The Blog theme at that point was titled ‘Highest Human Potential’; OneGR8Life wasn’t even a thought, idea or notion. I share this post and say thank-you for allowing me to take up residence in Your OneGR8Life, on a weekly basis.

Who, What, Where, Why, How : Let's Get Started!

My interest in Highest Human Potential began at an early age, as an athlete. My inspiration to understand potential came from my Olympic teammates, Sandy Neilsen-Bell and Jill Sterkel and the number of others who had achieved the level of National and International swimming competition. The burning question at this point was; what made them so special at such an early age?
-- Was it Genetics, Family Environment, Education, or Privilege of Community?

As I entered the working world, it didn't take me long to recognize that I had been blessed with an uncommon balance of humility and strong professional will. Even today, these virtues remain as recognizable personal traits. So what drove me to successfully lead a team of 35 professionals in a $6million project by the age of 25. How did I navigate the career path from Manufacturing, to Engineering, to Product Management? to Sales Management?
-- Was it Fear of Failure, Just a Stroke of Luck, or Genius of Thought?

And, years later as a Sales Manager, how was I able to move my Sales Team from its’ #87 of 100 national ranking to its’ #9 position in less than twelve months. How was it that I had developed 6 of the Top 15 sales people from a national sales force of 1000+.
-- Was it an Abrasive Management Style, Aggressive Sales Techniques or Luck of the Economy?

What universal force, lead my wife and I to move 1100 miles from family. While that same force was leading a 16 year old to move 300 miles from his family and to deliver him to my doorstep in order to fulfill his dream of a college education. You see, my wife and I don’t have any children of our own. So, how was it that we should end up with Senior in High School calling us Mom and Dad?
-- Was it Financial Necessity, a Random Act of Kindness, or Some Sort of Divine Joke?

The answer to these questions is what this blog is all about. So, Let’s keep moving forward.

Purpose through Advancement and Promotion

We should realize that each life has a major purpose and that each Human is called to deliver that purpose. Indeed, we all have greatness within us! I have accepted as my major purpose in life; the advancement and promotion of Highest Human Potential. You, have before you, your entire life, through this blog you will have the opportunity to deliver your greatness. The simple fact that you found this blog is enough to tell me that we share a common goal. That common goal is You, and the delivery of Your Highest Human Potential. So the question is, can Highest Human Potential be taught? Just like teaching reading, or writing, or algebra?

The answer is yes!

Intention Rooted in HOW...

The steps to achieve your Highest Human Potential are as teachable as learning to walk or ride a bike. My intention is to simply teach you –HOW! I should take a moment to fore-warn you that, like riding a bike, you might fall once or twice during the learning process. What I am saying here is, if you are looking for some sort of miracle or a magic formula which leads to overnight success, you will have to look somewhere else… I regret to inform you that after 30+ years of searching for an easy way... that there are no elevators to achieving your Highest Human Potential – Yes, You will have to take the stairs.

The most promising note for you in this first blog is-- the achievement of Your Highest Human Potential is not limited by age, or level of education, or gender, or privilege of community. I should also note that in the achievement of your Highest Human Potential there is no room for being abrasive, or for aggressively dooping somebody for a buck. We can also leave Luck and Fear out of the equation.

The first order of business is for you to understand one very simple concept: In this Life You CAN Have, Be or Do Anything that you Desire!

I look forward to your subscription – I invite you to stay for a while!

MINDFUL MOMENTS (Your Take Away Thoughts)...
I have so much more to give… Today, I learned HOW?!?

The Dream of My OneGR8life is the cultivation of My Ambitious Desire; a notion, idea or thought, initiated in the stillness of attentional presence. Rejuvenated in Purpose I seek to Create My OneGR8Life - Uncovering my inner values of character; inviting them, as allies of trusted strength, to travel with me toward the Discovery of Deepest Desires. In my abundant filled Universe, equilibrium inspires and motivates me to share with the world; recognizing that the fulfillment of My Highest Human Potential comes through my contribution of improvement of the Human Condition. Affirmed in Service to Others, I move to release the, self-imposed thoughts of limitation; The Source of Universal Intelligence rises within me to Obtain my Source of Divine Purpose. Finally, I come to Live My OneGR8Life in perpetual growth, Mentally, Physically, Spiritually; filled are  my days with intentional presence. Balanced in rest and play I AM free to Dream again.

Achieve: Authentic ME!


DeliveredEnergy.jpg



You have invested quite-a bit of Energy to this point, working toward the understanding and delivery of your Highest Human Potential. Time well spent actively uprooting your Divine Purpose, traveling step-by-step along your Map of Obtainment. In this final series, titled Achievement, we have been pulling all the previous steps together. Now, we come to the delivery of your final tool, the OneGR8Life Highest Potential Placemat.


The Powerful Energy of Your OneGR8life...
The hidden treasure of this tool lies in the fact that it is the ultimate HOW TO. The placemat is structured enough to capture the essence of each Obtainment stepping stone; Rejuvenate, Uncover, Discover, Exchange, Affirm, Achieve. Flexible enough to adapt to your daily life. Yet, Resilient enough to center your inspired thoughts and applied actions, capable of keeping you balanced amid the hail storms of life distractions. Here, the Powerful Energy of your OneGR8Life gets captured for easy reference.


Why, capture this energy in one convenient place?

  • Because life has lots of moving parts, because many of us have a tough time remembering where we left the car keys. Example; Ever wake up in the morning, and while you are brushing your teeth, you notice that the toothpaste is running low... so you make a mental note - Get to the store, and don't forget the toothpaste. Then what happens? Later that same day you forgot about going to the store altogether or you get to the store and can't remember what exactly you needed. Been there? Done That? Yeah, me too.
  • Because in life your mind is cluttered with usernames and passwords; is bombarded with text messages, email, videos, Hangouts, Blog Posts, Webinars, Tweets, Posts, Searches, and we haven't even loaded up on the kids or developing personal relationships. And, let's not forget about maintaining intimate relationships. How could you possibly remember the essence of an inspired thought from two weeks ago; much less retain the focus of purpose through the course of a lifetime.
  • Because the physical time on earth is limited for each of us. Precious is this time, between, life and death. Organized thought is the only way to extend the value you intend to deliver in the space of your OneGR8Life.
  • Because the Universe is in need of you to provide your individual puzzle piece and humankind cannot afford for you to leave the planet without this delivery.


WHAT? My Individual Puzzle Piece?
Humankind cannot afford for me to leave the planet without the delivery of my individual puzzle piece? What is up with that?


If there was only one thing that you need to remember in your OneGR8Life, it would be this...


The Universal contribution, the combined energy,
of Humankind is dependent on
the delivered Energy of MY Highest Potential.



WHAT?, WHAT? The Universal contribution of Humankind?
That's right - If you fall short of the delivery of your Highest Human Potential, you not only diminish the value of your given potential but, you also compromise the Universal contribution of Humankind. So, if you are not inspired to deliver your Highest Potential for You, then deliver it for the rest of us. You are being called to pitch-in here... You know pick-up the rope and start pulling, with the rest of us.


Understand that within you lies the energy source of Unlimited Potential and the Universe is waiting for you to Rejuvenate it, Uncover it, Discover it, Exchange it, Affirm it, Achieve it. Let us never forget that each life holds a unit of Divine significance. Here in lies the undeniable, indisputable, significance of Your OneGR8Life... The Universe, that which we can see, that which remains unseen, that which is understandable, and that which remains to perplex, is combined and held together in energy.  Only in the delivery of your Divine Purpose does your energy become renewable. This renewability is the eternal signature of your branded Authenticity.


WHAT?, WHAT?, WHAT? Branded Authenticity?
Of course! Your Branded Authenticity is the footprint our life is going to leave behind once your spirit is done occupying your body.
_______



AUTHENTICITY is all about...
You living this life in Greatness.


Having what you say,
what you feel,
what you believe,
and what you do,
all be the same
as who you are.
_______


If you are beginning to think that to accomplish this your gonna need to work at this daily... Your Right! Everyday - With No Wasted Days, as if your OneGR8Life depended on it.


Can you now begin to recognize that to help you contain the moving pieces of your OneGR8Life you're gonna need a placemat?

Achieve: Extraordinary ME!







Creative Inspiration, Truth, and Destiny are all revealed when our lives are in balance and in flow. In our last message, we expanded our creative spirit to a greater understanding of Balance through the isolation of Divine Purpose. Now you step to the next level - here you are challenged to maintain balance and create a life where you are able to ‘live’ in the flow. HOW do you recognize ‘the flow’? Once you recognize it, HOW do you maintain it? These answers we will initiate today…


As you move forward, carry with you this simple fact:
So ever reliant upon you to deliver your
Highest Human Potential,
the Universe has placed within you a
teacher to guide you through the artistic
creation of your OneGR8Life.



The River of Life...

In the daily flow of the river of life, you find yourself confidently consumed in the balanced moments of delight, where joyful inspired actions are ambitiously filling your days, all in the pursuit of delivering your Highest Human Potential. Yet, there is still room for more to your OneGR8Life than just the flow of creating and pursuing. As you exercise the incorporation of Resilience and Creativity, you must also exercise the necessity of Self-Care. Self-Care creates the calm waters found along the flow of every river. In the calm waters you find the room for relaxation; rest and pure play. The moments of Self-Care are filled in connection with nature, laughter, other people... In Your OneGR8Life, 'There's no such thing as doing it alone.'


Absorbed in the Moment…

The significance of Self-Care? In your moments of Self-Care, the Universe rises-up to meet you. Conveniently wrapped, hidden in your Self-Care moment, you find the ability to release all other concern, worry, anxiety; only in pure self-care do you become absorbed in the moment.  This Self-Care is not a moment of selfishness. Giving yourself permission to rest, play, letting your mind and heart rejuvenate, is a must in order to realize your greatest potential. It’s when you learn to let go - absorbed in a moment of pure play, relaxation, connection with nature, laughter… do You create pathways where there was once closed doors. In your moments of Self-Care, your Moments of rest and play, you find the power in knowing that you are not alone in the creation of your OneGR8Life.

The Destiny of Extraordinary ME!

Rest and Play are not luxuries. It is part of our Destiny to simply BE. You have experienced, time-and-again, that play, rest, rejuvenation and celebration cultivate and inspire some of our best ideas. The goal of rest and play are to create moments where you are to engage in the here and now. To crack open yourself to the ideas that come to you from the conscious recognition of your extraordinary bond to the Universal energy which flows through you. When you let go, and have fun, you release all sense of ego and release all the ‘shoulds’ that creep into your life; opening the door for the creative spirit to flourish.


Play and Rest...

Play is so important in helping you find your true purpose in life. When you dance through life in the beauty of a child, engaged in activities that you find truly delightful, you open your mind and your heart to the essence of your extraordinary potential. When you play you lose all track of time, and you are absorbed completely in the present moment. Your best, extraordinary ideas come to you when you are delighted. Your mind becomes free to roam and explore. In play you find that your mind becomes wide open and the clarity of Universal energy is suddenly laid-out at our feet, yours to enjoy.


Rest is as equally important. In our technically driven culture we tend to be chronically sleep deprived. Many times even proud of it. It is false for you to associate being rest deprived with the indication of a busy life and total dedication to your Purpose. True dedication requires balancing the brain for optimal performance. which includes rest in the form of sleep, and spending time in prayer or meditation.


When you connect to stillness in prayer or meditation, you fully engage with nature, life and those around yo. To gain the maximum value of the stillness gained through prayer or meditation, make sure that we get adequate sleep. This is the perfect recipe for self-care.


Next-Up: AUTHENTIC ME!

Authenticity comes through the execution of your daily activities, in building your OneGR8Life. Yes, it is time for you to receive your final OneGR8Life tool… The OneGR8Life placemat.


Mindful Moments (Your Take Away Thoughts…)

‘In the Flow’, I practice recharging and revitalizing myself. Rest and Play, pave the way for Creative inspiration and truth to enter my life. As I carry on in-balance and in-flow, I WILL softly recall in my mind, this centering thought to the formulation of my Extraordinary OneGR8Life:


I Dream, I Create, I Live
-I Dream, I Create, I Live.

Achieve: Creative ME!



So ever reliant upon you to deliver your Highest Human Potential, the Universe has placed within you a teacher to guide you through the artistic creation of your OneGR8Life. That's right within each and every one of us is an Artist; A Dreamer, A Creator. 

As you continue on the path of Achievement, today you discover the perpetual source of your creative balance, the unending energy Source of Divine Purpose. You will soon see, Creative Inspiration, Truth, and Destiny are all revealed when our lives are in balance and in flow. Now, just before we head off in this direction, as you continue on in the Achievement Series, let's make sure we have a good understanding of were we have already been.

-Designed to Achieve: The significance of Achievement is that it stirs our soul. Even among the distractions of everyday life, you continually hear the calling of your opportunity to deliver your Highest Human Potential.
-Uniquely ME: Embedded within each human life is a yearning to BE, DO or HAVE. The significance of this yearning is the essence of Divine Purpose, in it's soul unique nature. The discovery and expression of Purpose yields to us our greatest joy; driving happiness in all the things that we do.
-Confident ME: Among the deeply rooted human needs, you find the emotion of Achievement; Inborn for some, seemingly foreign for some. Regardless, of the words, each comes to the crossroad of facing the voices of internal fear; the false self-imposed restrictions.
-Fearless ME: Take a very special journey clearing your path of fears, moving past limiting beliefs, moving towards anchoring your internal cornerstone of strength and releasing your authentic beauty and power. This is the place, where your Destiny rises.
-Resilient ME: The goal of Resilience... To rejuvenate your Mind, Body and Spirit - Simultaneously. To bring you, currently undiscovered levels of Confidence and Bliss.

If you are inspired to hold-up and go back to review any of the previously delivered messages, Please, do so!. Remember that you are building a progressive series of knowledge, here. Each message builds upon the last, leading to the next. Take the time to fully understand the role each plays in the Achievement of your OneGR8Life.

Survival? Or Balance?
With the work of reviewing previous messages behind us, let's kick-open the door to Achievement a little wider. Let's give the Dreamer living inside some open space to absorb the energy of balance, which is always available. Let's explore a bit, releasing the bridal of survival, let's see if we can Create a deeper understanding of the energies available for life balance. 


 
Let's start with a simple question,
Is there a difference between
a life in survival and a life in balance?


Releasing your self-imposed limitations in order to center your intention and attention to answering this question is of paramount importance. Reluctance to contemplate and self-explore this question will prohibit your delivery of your Highest Human Potential. Oh don't misunderstand, should you choose to forgo the self evaluation, of my life in survival versus my life in balance, the attainment of success may find it's way to your doorstep. But, you are not interested in the attainment of success. Your burning desire remains the Obtainment, the fulfillment, of Purpose. You are seeking To Hold the associated happiness of life in balance. Committing to a life in balance, will lead you beyond the simplicity of success. You see, everyone has the opportunity to succeed, this is called survival. But, readily committing to a life in balance insures the delivery of your deepest desire, never leaving you to perpetually teeter, blindly, as you attempt to fill the bottomless void of survival.

Survival Energy...
The bottomless void of survival? Yes! The energy of survival is limited to a two dimensional existence. Survival occurs with the limiting combination of mental energy and physical energy.






Purpose is not delivered here! Only convenience is found in this attracted relationship of survival. At best this overlap, can deliver a combination of thought and inspired action. All inspired action taken is applied directly towards the progressive realization of survival. At all times, under any condition of circumstance, you can roll these circles of energy into a combined connection towards the delivery of survival. This is hugely significant and many never move beyond this combination. Recognize that, this combined energy reduces failure to, no more than, a mere inadequate combination of energy. You see, if you have not yet come into contact with success, you have not failed; you have merely not yet found the correct combination of attracted energy and inspired action. Failure presumes that you have no further option; in this model you are filled with infinite options and you are simply invited to configure a new energy combination and try again.

Energy of Balance...
At this point, you should have little doubt that your Highest Human Potential represents a significant source of fused energy and enlightenment. Inherent to the adoption of this fused energy, you will find the beneficial framework of Life Balance and its associated Happiness.




Stability and Balance...
Here you find the Energy of both, Stability and Life Balance. This life balance is obtained through the unique 3-legged, tripod, appearance of the framework. 
Rarely, do we ever see a tripod tip over. The inherited stability of a tripod comes from the physical arrangement of the three legs. In addition to it's inherent stability, we find that a tripod is infinitely Adjustable and Adaptable. Tripods are extraordinarily adaptable to any condition of terrain, in any condition of soil, any condition of orientation, upside down - right-side up. We find the comfort of happiness resting atop the platform of intersection created by the three legs.
Associated Happiness...
Here, resting up top of your tripod, happiness CAN ALWAYS be found! With three adjustable energies the Creator has bestowed upon us, unchallengeable control of both the attitude and altitude of our earthly happiness. Here is how it works.

  • When faced with an unhappy circumstance of Physical anguish, you simply, bump up the level of Mental and/or Spiritual energy and, Happiness returns.
  • When faced with an unhappy circumstance of Mental anxiety, you simply bump up the level of Spiritual and/or Physical energy and, Happiness returns.
  • When faced with an unhappy circumstance of Spiritual uncertainty, you simply bump up the level of Physical and/or Mental Energy and, Happiness returns.

Any adjustment to altitude or attitude immediately relieves the stress of uncertainty while gaining the associated Happiness in proportional control. You see, small adjustments to altitude or attitude yields a small adjustment to obtained happiness. Likewise, magnificent adjustments to altitude and attitude, obtain magnificent alterations to our sense of happiness.

We should stop and recognize that the inverse is NOT supported! One does not obtain the increased benefit of altitude and attitude, through false alterations to our sense of happiness. No, in your OneGR8Life, happiness is the resultant of Change; Changes in altitude and attitude drives happiness - happiness DOES Not drive altitude and attitude. Acts in this vein are false manipulations and increase the potential of long term unhappiness. Continued, long term, acts in this delusional vein can only lead to a depressed spirit; and therefore, must be avoided. Only through changes of attitude can we drive the altitude of happiness.

The Hidden Nature of Divine Purpose... Your search for the Hidden Nature of Divine Purpose need only focus at the intersection of the energies; at the overlap of our three rings. The significance of this arrangement is manifested when the fused energy is employed toward the transformation of your deepest desire. When the Desire is Obtainment of Highest Human Potential, the transformation of your Divinely held notion, idea or thought, into Physical equivalence. By nature, these rings are then bound together through the emotion of Love. Thus, Love serves to insure that the delivery of your Highest Human Potential, the transformation of your Desire of Purpose, must serve to satisfy the Improvement of the Human Condition.






The Hidden Nature of Divine Purpose


Let's make sure that you understand the nature of your discovery, here: Any Desire of Purpose, held outside of Improvement of the Human Condition, is NOT held in Love, is Not Divine by Nature and, must therefore, not be construed, in any manor, shape of form, as the Obtainment of your Highest Human Potential.
 

Let's finish with a simple question,
Are You ready to
embrace a life in balance?
--- --- ---
UP NEXT: Extraordinary ME! In the pursuit of delivering your Highest Human Potential, where do we find room for relaxation, pure play, connection with nature, laughter... Life.
MINDFUL MOMENTS (Take Away Thoughts)... Through the adoption of the fused energy format, it has become my objective to place my Being into the point of Divine Purpose. Here, enveloped in Love, I AM able to rinse the collection of all my experience, to-date. At the point of Divine Purpose, I rinse my experience to collect their Greatness as intended by nature. In my OneGR8Life, ALL experiences have occurred for my greatest benefit. If a past experience has induced pain, sorrow, or discomfort, I shall abandon it here, and now! I choose to venture forward, seeking to deliver my Desire of Purpose. I AM dedicated to the Obtainment of my Highest Human potential, for the sake of Improvement of the Human Condition.
