#Millennial Guide: From student to delivery of potential.



Time to Think Different





Continuing ED 101...
Welcome class to Continuing ED 101


What have You done for me lately?

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... BFD, you now have a diploma sitting on the buffet at home. And, blah, blah, blah, you've worked soo hard to achieve this milestone. You are gonna have to save the balloons and streamers for someone who cares, because that was yesterdays hard work. As in, old history... to be shared with your college-roomates at your next reunion.


- You see, you’re not in college any more. What this means to you is, that the thoughts that got you through college, will no longer be valid to get you through the change from student to young professional to careered professional, from student to business for-self to CEO. You see, if you keep thinking like a student, you can not progress to play at the next level.


Your Final, Final Exam -Single question...

So let's congratulate your prestigious University. It has done excellent work to fill your student mind with books and books of tested information within your field of study. And, all that tested information has earned you the opportunity to stand on the threshold of a whole new world of potential. Now, before we move to far from the hallowed halls of academic life, there is one more exam, just, a single question; so I AM confident that you will accelerate right through this.


Grab your tablet for this one... create a new folder titled ContinuingED101, create a note or document, at the top fill in the One Single Question of Your Final, Final Exam:

HOW?!? do I plan to deliver All my Potential,
if I am tied to the subway tracks
by imposed change and uncertainty?




Before you get started, do you have any questions?


What's that?... You don't recall finding this topic covered within any of your textbook(s). Fair enough, Let's bottom-line this for you so that you understand perfectly what is being asked of you-


Yesterday's thoughts got you through yesterday.
Today, If You want to Be More,
or Do More, or Give More;
You are gonna have to change something...
The way you Think!
That's right, In Order for You to
Be, Do or Give More,
YOU will need to become, More!


I realize this is kinda tough news to hear, after spending the last 4 years earning all that student loan debt; that Beer Pong Champ is not going to pay very well, and Cocktail Hour Host(ess) on Wednesday, to celebrate the upcoming weekend, isn't going to serve very well to meet the needs of the $2M client come Friday's presentation deadline - which by the way has been rescheduled for Thursday, 9am.


Recognize that from here on, life changes. And with every change, anticipated or unanticipated, comes a new set of rules. Yes, You are responsible to self-learn these rules. Each day that passes, in which You fail to recognize this self-learn responsibility, merely serves as a day in which you fall behind. Think of it this way, everyday from today to the end of your life, somebody is trying to snatch-up your lunch money. Everyday that your fail to self-learn the rules to protect your lunch money, is a day that you go without… Every day that you go without, is a day that you fall behind… A day that cannot be earned back.


So the question remains;
HOW?!? do I plan to deliver my Highest Potential,
if I am tied to the subway tracks
by imposed change and self-restricting uncertainty?


All right then, let's begin  -  You have 30 minutes... tick-tock-tick-tock.


Alright class.  -  Times up!


New Focus of Thought...

Now, let's review…  Your first focus of thought should have included the answer to the self-imposed question of...
How Good Can I Handle It?


There are 2 reasons that this is your Starting Point--
1) AMBITION is your go-to partner in times of change. Go here!
Ambition is the starting point of ALL achievements. Simply put, Ambition is the bridge which connects the island of your mind, with its notions, ideas and thoughts, to your mainland of physical equivalence, with its destiny of reality.  That’s right… If you can conceive a notion, idea or thought, you can achieve the creation of its physical equivalent. But, only Ambition will get you there!


2) Your current circumstance is not preordained. Your current circumstance is the resultant of spent energy, focused through your internal process of thought, action, gratitude. This is why you should never underestimate the power of your brain and the resulting consequences of your uncontrolled thoughts. Especially, your negative self talk and thoughts of self-limitations. You see, your thoughts are not isolated to be just between your ears. Every thought, good or bad, happy or sad, angry or joyful is in your complete control. Each thought brings with it an equivalent action, and that action stimulates another thought, and brings again an equivalent action. This loop of thought/action/thought is never ending; it is the only method known for the preservation of your environment of Ambition.


You first resolve for ‘How Good Can I Stand It?’ because size determines the order of magnitude of return potential, in-exchange for opportunity of challenge.
Let’s take a look at three examples:
EX.1 - How Good Can I Stand It? - If you are willing to ‘stand’, Cure for Breast Cancer; you can then come to realize the magnitude of return potential, and anticipate your in-exchange opportunity of challenge. Potential and Challenge stand in equilibrium.
  • Rule 1: Magnitude of Potential = Opportunity of Challenge.


EX.2  - How Good Can I Stand It? - If you are willing to ‘stand’, I don’t know, let’s just see what happens; you are certainly entitled to do so. Merely, recognize that with this limited magnitude of potential, comes the in-exchange opportunity to relegate your future to somebody else's plan.
  • Rule 2:  Denial of Self-Responsibility = Relegation of Opportunity


EX.3  - Imagine for just one moment that the source of infinite intelligence and Universal love, has placed You upon the earth for the achievement of Your unique Highest Human Potential. In this case, each of us landed on earth encoded to undeniably deliver our own ends.
  • Rule 3: Thought-Action-Gratitude = Expansion of ABUNDANCE.

Alright class - That’s it for today…


---   ---   ---

Millennial Moment: Things for you to take away --

I know that, I do not have another 4 years to complete the answer to this final Exam. I need to make this change from student to the delivery of my potential, I need to make it happen fast, and make it completely. A small amount of instruction and guidance during this critical period of change will yield to me a lifetime of ABUNDANCE.


In order to intiate this change I will need to Resolve this question…


What am I doing today
to help prepare for tomorrow
and tomorrow's, tomorrow?

#Millennial Moments: Rejuvenate the Spirit




Have you ever been knocked off your game? Thought you were moving toward a worthy destination, headed in the right direction... only to come to the unforeseen conclusion that your really stuck in a glass box? And, suddenly the lights get turned off!

Yeah, me too!

Today, let's work on Rejuvenating Our Spirit; allowing ourselves to have a new Dream. To Create this Dream in an environment of unlimited possibility. The possibility of an Ambitious life centered in Purpose...


"Everybody, every Dream
has set-backs...
The key to Rejuvination
is to stand yourself back up,
dust yourself off,
make an adjustment...
and start moving forward again"
~Phillip A. Lopez


Rejuvenate the Spirit...
If you are like most, when you read the words, Ambition of Purpose - one of two primary reactions occur;
 1) Your Mind wants to block this out...
 2) Your pulse quickens and a funny anxiety of nervousness rises in your spirit.


There is a very simple reason for this.


It's called accountability, or the lack thereof.


You see, most have no answer for the question; What are you looking to deliver in your OneGR8Life? Because we have no answer the Mind will appreciate it if you simply move to the next question... this is called avoidance. As a condition of convenience, the brain goes here when we have not prepared it sufficiently or when the answer to a question is larger than it is prepared to immediately resolve.


The Mind does not like being unprepared!  Unprepared is not in the operating instructions. If You allow it to, it will spend it's entire existence protecting you from things you are unprepared to answer. This is why we wrestle with HOW?!?  I would venture to estimate that 85% - 90% of us are simply unprepared to answer this initiating question.
“What are you looking to deliver
in your OneGR8Life?”


But NOT You... I gave You a MAP. A Map to Obtainment! This Map outlines the path for you to Discover the thing that you hold inside as your greatest delivery; the delivery of your Highest Human Potential. You may not have traveled the entire path, or written the answers to every step that will be required for you to deliver your Ambition of Purpose. But, You find comfort in the fact that your Map gives you both Destination and Direction. This is Extraordinarily Powerful!!


So now what?  


Now, we begin the journey to Obtainment... So grab your map... and Let’s Go?


A Critical Fact...
In support of our existence the creator allows each of us to Be, or Do, or Give, anything that we desire. This is a critical fact and worthy of restating;


-- “Every Human Has Been Given,
the Divine Right to Pursue Something;
an Ambition of Purpose.” --


In this regard, life then becomes a mission. Given this understanding of mission, we all have a something, some purpose, to pursue!  It then becomes our duty to uncover our purpose... To uncover the 'something' that we are intended to pursue and deliver. With ‘purpose’ as your life duty, you can recognize the significant disappointment if you leave earth without its obtainment.


Self-Equipped...
Everyone who engages in the serious pursuit of their mission, at some point in life will uncover this truth;  Obtainment is an inside job!  Once discovered, it is what we do with this realization that greatly improves our odds of completing your mission.


If it is our Divine duty in life to uncover our 'something', our pursuit, and if Obtainment is an inside job, then we must be self-equipped with the necessary features to uncover our purpose and more importantly, to accomplish our mission. So what then is the missing link between having something to pursue and its obtainment?


I know that, you came looking for HOW?!? and I left you hanging with another ‘what’ question. We’ll get there, I promise.


So, take a deep breathe, in through the nose, and exhale, out across the lips. Try it again... In / Out. There - you feel better already.


---   ---   ---

Millennial Moment (Take Away Thoughts / Call to Action…)

I can leave you with these encouraging words...


- "You are closer to your Dream,
your Desire of Purpose,
than you will ever imagine." -


In the meantime, hold on to this thought: -I Hereby, Grant Myself permission to Think Big!  I Can, BE, or DO, or GIVE, Anything. Here is the beauty of my Thinking Big; Big Thoughts are as easy to come by and cost just as much energy to create as Little Thoughts. So, the best bang for my buck... is a Big Thought.


---      ---      ---


Having trouble getting started?  Never really gave Ambition of Purpose much thought in the past?


Try Answering this:
Before I leave the face of this earth I Must (Be, or Do, or Give)...


It is going to take a little quiet time to find this answer... Shut the audio feed off on the drive to work, or create the space in your day to spend in prayer or meditation to resolve - that always helps me. AMBITION is your greatness guide… your duty is to guard against the tag-team duo of, avoidance and procrastination.


Now, Correct me if I am wrong...  I know that You are brilliant enough to grab a notebook or journal or to start a 'note' in your smart-phone or favorite productivity app. I am confident that You labeled it: My OneGR8Life.  My suggestion is, if you haven’t started a journal or a note yet, to start immediately! PLEASE, Do not leave to chance the Ambitious thoughts that you are collecting. Get them down, keep your head clear of the anxiety of growing a GR8 thought and then later today forgetting what was inside that glorious thought bubble. Distractions surround you - Just remember, once a thought bubble pops, lost is its initial gift of clarity and immediate solution.

Power Up Your One Great Life... The Sacred Formula of Ambition.


Power Up Your One Great Life…


A Millennial Guide…

The Millennial trac is one of #CreatingPhenomenal. 80+ Million! A generation invited to live with zest and zeal for community, empowered to dream, create, and live with discovered Passion and delivered Purpose. A globally connected generation, moving forward in pursuit of the Discovery and Delivery of their Highest Potential; transitioning thoughts, notions, and ideas into their global physical equivalence.


As Millennials, to improve the global human condition, a little help will be needed, a little guidance, some inspired instruction, aimed at the need to grow quickly in the understanding of AMBITION as the connecting link to HOW?!? Feeling Your eagerness to contribute, yours is a rally cry heard worldwide. My contribution is an outline, a map of destination, whose sole purpose is to provide simple direction as you springing forward from where you stand today, to where you want or need to be tomorrow. Imagine, somebody willing to talk to You, about You, and providing You the tools to discover and deliver the authentic You. Can it get any better than this? To this end I share the knowledge gained in a life long pursuit of questioning, dissecting, and understanding, of HOW?!?


Power Up YourOneGR8Life...

AMBITION has created the likes of Ford, Carnegie, Edison, Rosa Parks, MLK, Gates, Oprah, Jobs, Zuckerberg, Page, Brin, and the list goes on-and-on. Ambition is also responsible for Great Parenting, Loving Relationships of Mutual Respect, and Raised Spiritual Awareness. Ambition will lead us to the cures of disease, to peace, to greater love and understanding. Ambition in its greatest form aims in the service of others; we are not framing ambition aimed at aggression, abrasiveness, or over-indulgence. No, frame this AMBITION aimed at collaboration of efforts, the satisfaction of a common quest, the resolution heard in reply to, How Can I Serve?

AMBITION is the starting point of All Successes. From getting out of bed in the morning, to consuming a nutritious and rejuvenating diet, to the recognition that consistent exercise is the basis for continued health, that the rituals of prayer or meditation serve as the foundation of wholeness and personal balance.

AMBITION to deliver Your Highest Potential initiates with a simple notion... To deliver into the world my greatness, I prepare, today! #CreatingPhenomenal is a triangular, repeatable, process -- Dream it, Create it, Live it. The task of #CreatingPhenomenal centers around You, Discovering You, to Deliver the Authentic You.

So ask yourself... How Good Can I Stand It? Yes, It is #YourOneGR8Life.


Millennial Moment (Take Away Thoughts / Call to Action…)

The Sacred Formula of Ambition… A single notion held in the confidence of heart, wrapped in the synergy of emotion and spirit…

     I Can, I Will!

Not very flashy and pretty simplistic, wouldn’t you say?

Yes! This may be the exact reason why we walk past it day after day; preferring to dream and create in struggle and toil. You have been Coded, pre-programmed from youth; hard work, the tortuous path, leads to achievement.  It’s time to rewrite this code! Today, in this moment, you discovered that it is AMBITION which lines the path to achievement. With desired purpose wrapped in a protective cover of AMBITION, the delivery of purpose ceases to ally with struggle and toil. Now, should you chose to refuse this moment - you will remain immune to the simplicity created through the adoption of the four simple words.  

I Can, I Will…

Regardless, of your Desired Purpose, you will deliver it through Ambition - Not Anxiety! Listen to yourself! It is in self awareness where your Highest Potential lies. Dream Your dreams, then learn to Create them, and Live the life that You imagine possible. Imagine for one minute that you have No limitations on what you can BE, or DO, or GIVE... only Ambition will take you there!!

    -Really? Can my OneGR8Life be that simple?

I guess you will not know, until you try to Dream it, Create it, Live it!

Continued Success in all that you chose to BE, or to DO, or to GIVE.
