DISCOVER - Infinite Inspiration & Motivation

DISCOVER...
This is such an exciting time, with our Map to Obtainment in hand, you are in hot pursuit of the Obtainment of your Desire of Purpose. Thanks to our SYNC Exercise you get ready to move forward with your unique WHO values settled into place. Now we can make preparations to expand WHAT and to gain a wider understanding of HOW; to make this happen we will need to DISCOVER our infinite source of Inspiration and Motivation. This no minor task! This Inspiration and Motivation must be significant enough to over come all future restraints.

Now, there is just one thing we need to cover before we head back out on the trail; we need to have a frank discussion surrounding the desire to gain the maximum return on a minimum investment...

Hold the Elevator... Please.
Do you find yourself looking for a shortcut to reach the top of the ladder? Are you thinking that you can find the elevator... if you just keep looking?

You're not alone... near 95% of us suffer from this elevator mentality. It doesn't matter if you are trying to shed a few pounds, start a business, parent your children or reconstruct a relationship. We keep looking for the elevator in hopes that our pursuit of life ambitions will become easier. You need to put this habit in check! You must come to the realization that in your search to find an easier way, you are really making things more difficult. The problem is, your elevator mentality is crushing your confidence and paralyzing the actions that you must take to truly Obtain your Highest Human Potential. Let’s both agree - You deserve better than this!! As you travel forward, you must remember... On the path to Obtaining your Desire of Purpose, there are No Elevators - You must take the stairs!

So let's face our reality...
Obtainment of Highest Human Potential is not ordinary! What you are attempting to do isn't easy. What you are attempting to do rarely, if ever, comes overnight.   I realize that initially this may Not appear to be a rosy picture. But trust me, it IS a rosy picture. I want you to think about this: realize that 90-95% of your colleagues will not face this reality. They will continue looking for the elevator. They will keep looking for a 'break' or a chance at 'luck'. That's right, most of your colleagues will keep on looking for the elevator, hoping to capture lightning in a bottle.

You on the other hand, now possess the knowledge that Obtainment, the development and delivery of your Desire of Purpose, is not easy, that Obtainment rarely comes overnight, and that Obtainment is not ordinary. This powerful knowledge leads you away from the crowd that is looking for the elevator. Once you make this move, you have begun to differentiate yourself from the ordinary. You now understand that gaining Obtainment requires us to do the things that are not easy, to do the things that most people will not ordinarily do.

I Will Obtain it...
Today is a BIG day along the path to the progressive Obtainment of your Highest Potential. Today you came to realize that Obtainment comes from taking the little steps. Today, you decided to take the first step; to stop looking for the elevator. Today you re-introduce yourself to words like - self-discipline, self-control, persistence, determination, perspiration, and focus. Today you sat up-right and said, “Hey, the Obtainment of My Highest Potential is my Responsibility, it is my Divine Duty - I Will Uncover it, I Will Discover it, and I Will Obtain it. Today, you took a giant step Forward; today you reinforced to yourself that - In order to Obtain your Highest Human Potential, there are no elevators... today you said, "I AM willing to take the stairs!"

Come on now, up the stairs we go... this is not the time to slow-up.

I leave you with this closing thought...

We live by Faith or we do not live at all...

Either we venture or we vegetate. 

Every triumph of the human spirit began with a single step taken in Faith. This Faith-filled, single step serves as the small handle to great matters. In the pursuit of your ambitious Desire to deliver your purpose, you must learn to hang on to your handle of Faith. Even if, for just one more moment.

---      ---      ---
Your take away thought...  I Can, I Will.

Post this simple phrase in places where you will see it regularly through-out your day. Repeat it to yourself regularly... especially when you begin to feel the slightest bit of anxiety, or in a moment of self-doubt.

SYNC: Everyone REBOOTS!!

THANK-YOU!!!

I AM so pleased by the reader results for the OneGR8Life, SYNC Exercise. If you are running behind and didn't catch the Tuesday 08/06 post, here is your link... also for your convenience, here is the link to the SYNC Exercise. Again, if your running behind and need to get caught-up, please do so. You will want to get caught-up for two reasons: (1) At this point the OneGR8Life blog is coming at you as a sequential feed; this makes the Tuesday, 08/06 POST, very valuable for future reference, (2) The SYNC Exercise Link is presently free, but this will expire shortly.

Now, I haven't taken the time to justify in my mind if the reader numbers are so high because it's that good or because it was free. Either way, I AM grateful beyond words!! Again, Thank-You!

Follow-Up...
I did want to do a little follow-up with you, based on some of your feedback. There were a couple of questions that are extremely important. Answering them will be helpful for you and will also, help me deliver my Desire of Purpose; Improving the Human Condition.


1) Then each of us landed on earth encoded to deliver our own 'ends'...

HOW can you be so sure about this? 

This is a fair question. The answer is rooted in two very powerful values... Faith and Love.

First, Faith. In one of our previous post we covered the significance of Desire of Purpose; that within each of us is the necessity to develop and deliver an embedded divine purpose. Certainly, you must have asked, or felt, at some time in your past that your life must have some purpose; that there must be some specific purpose for your time on earth. Rest assured, your life Does Have purpose and that life purpose is valuable and irreplaceable. Faith in the fact that all life has purpose, allows you to hear the Universal cry to uncover, develop and deliver that purpose. From within, your delivery of purpose sees not - Age, or Gender, or Race, or Color, or Preference, or Dogma or Creed. These factors, simply, in combination, play a roll in your transformation of a Notion, Idea or Thought - into it's Physical Equivalence.

Love. The greatest state of all life is Love. This being the case, it is unthinkable that the source of Universal life would commission you to a journey on earth, complete with Desire of Purpose; and not provide you with every last detail necessary for you to Dream, Create and Live that Purpose. Please, do not confuse this as a statement of entitlement. Instead, see it as a statement of challenge and as an opportunity of great Ambition. 

The challenge is to Dream, Create and Live your Desire of Purpose. The Ambitious opportunity is to Beat the Clock - to not physically expire from life on earth without completion, without the delivery of your Purpose.

2) Round 1 - In this Round you begin with 234 values to select from...

Why 234? - Am I Limited to only these values?

234? -I'd like to tell you that there is something mystical or scientific about the number 234... it is sequential- 2, 3, 4 - Look, my educational background is Engineering, one night I woke-up and had this vision of words, columns, rows and boxes. I transformed that vision (Notion, Idea or Thought) into a simple and repeatable process of elimination (Physical Equivalence). Life is all about the choices opportunities that we face; the things we choose to Do and the things that we choose Not to Do. The method then, of choosing a unique set of values which identify WHO you need to become in order to deliver your Desire of Purpose, could be no different. It had to be all about choices and choices require elimination.

No, you are not limited to the 234 values included in the exercise. Remember, You are Responsible for the Development and Delivery of your unique Desire of Purpose. This means that You are FREE to choose, and must use, every resource that becomes available to you. If you recognize a value missing, that you believe must be added... add it as a 'wild card'. It is Your OneGR8Life, you have been invited to: Dream it, Create it, Live it! It is all about, YOU!

3) You are going to utilize this exercise at various point through-out your life...

Can you share examples of this?

You have read many times my usage and application of the term REBOOT. So let's make a short list of circumstances we all experience in our lives that we could categorize as a REBOOT event...

-The change from High School life, to Collegiate Life: a REBOOT event? Yes or No.

-Completion of College Life, to beginning of Professional Life: a REBOOT event? Yes or No.

-Completion of College Life, to beginning of Post Grad Life; a REBOOT event? Yes or No.

-From Single Life, to beginning of Married Life; a REBOOT event? Yes or No.

-Career Advancement or Career Directional change; a REBOOT event?  Yes or No.

-Married Life to Family Life... What about the news of twins; a REBOOT Event? Yes or No.

Here we have 6 Reboot events and for most of us we haven't even cleared 30yrs old
... Should we keep going?

-What if Married Life doesn't quite turn-out as you had hoped; a REBOOT Event?

-How about life altering illness or injury or the sudden loss of a Loved one; a REBOOT Event?

-What a about Job Loss / Bankruptcy / Foreclosure; a REBOOT Event?

As you can see, there are many circumstances which you routinely, expected or unexpectedly, will face in life where REBOOT is necessary. So, Fear Not... Everybody REBOOTS!

My delivery of the SYNC Exercise to you, has Improved your Human Condition. I AM very happy about this!! In Faith and Love, I hope that you will add it to your daily arsenal of OneGR8Life tools, along with your Map to Obtainment.

SYNC -WHO First

Why -WHO First?
Gandhi would have us remember this; on the road to Obtainment, you cannot use methods that violate the ends that you are after. The significance of these words distill down to this... In all life, Ends and Means are then inseparable.

We can better appreciate this when we recall Gandhi's walk. Where he simply understood that you cannot create a world of brotherhood and harmony; through the means of tyranny and oppression. The lesson exemplified through Gandhi is timeless.

The lesson is this: No human can obtain a worthy goal, you cannot arrive at your worthy end, by using unworthy means.

Building Your Pathway...

When you understand the lesson available through Gandhi, you realize that one of the initial stepping stones on your pathway to the Obtainment of your Desire of Purpose, must be to peel yourself down to the core of your own individual means. That the discovery of "WHO" must precede the ends of "WHAT" and "HOW". Fortunately, we have all ready simplified the core of Obtainment to be; the internal attraction of an external desire.

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. What ever that Desire of Purpose might be...

Then each of us landed on earth encoded to deliver our own 'ends'. The beginning of that delivery, the starting point, must be to UNCOVER the 'means' which are inseparable to the fulfillment of those 'ends'.

Hit the Brakes!!
What did we just discover?

That your private lessons, will always precede your public victories. That privately you must UNCOVER your unique 'WHO' virtues before you can proceed to your public fulfillment of 'WHAT' and 'HOW'.

If you are sitting there sort of dazed by the simplicity of the preceding discovery... You should be! Is it any wonder why you struggle to accomplish - You keep digging with the handle of your shovel. You keep looking to solve for WHAT and HOW, with NO Regards for WHO! You need to REBOOT, you need to reverse the shovel - You need to start over and begin digging with the blade of your shovel.

If you are now Screaming -
But, HOW?!? Do I SYNC my means with my ends? You would be justified.

So let's walk through a quick and very simple exercise to SYNC your internal means with your external ends, your Desire of Purpose. (I will share with you a link to view this exercise when we a done.) 

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face." 

-- Eleanor Roosevelt

The OneGR8Life.com SYNC Exercise comes to you as eight (8) sheets. Seven sheets include instruction and dialogue to walk you through the exercise. The eighth sheet is an uncompleted worksheet for your personal use.

The instruction and dialogue is presented from the perspective of you not having a clear, or completed, Desire of Purpose.

For this perspective, I have taken the liberty of assigning a Desire of Purpose. Why would I do this?

I want you to focus on the format and flow of using the SYNC Exercise worksheet. Once you have walked through the exercise and have gained some comfort and familiarity, you can then repeat the exercise and substitute-in your very own Desire of Purpose.


The value of walking through the exercise and then repeating the exercise will also demonstrate the unique REBOOT, flexibility, features of the exercise.

You are going to utilize this exercise at various points through-out your life. You will soon see that each set of selected values are unique to the Desire of Purpose that you are currently involved in.

Changes which influence your Desire of Purpose... Change the nature of the values necessary to develop and deliver that particular purpose. Now you can REBOOT with the ebbs and flows of your OneGR8Life.

The SYNC Exercise...
The SYNC exercise includes '4' Rounds, set up in a progressive and eliminating style.

Round 1 - This is the broadest point of selection. In this Round you will begin with 234 values to select from. The Values are set up in columns of 6 values. You are to select '1' value from each column. You end with 39 selected values. PLEASE note; this Round also allows for a Wild Card selection. Bringing you to a total of 40 values for Round 1.

Round 2 - I call this the 'Weakest Link' round. Here you eliminate one value from each paired column. Refresh your Wild Card, if you need to. When completed, 20 values will remain.

Round 3 - The 'Survivor' Round. You are starting with 20 values... your going to whittle this down to 10. Suddenly, the choices get a little tougher. Only the strongest survive in Round 3... time to say good-bye to some pretty solid and supportive values.

Round 4 - The Final Round!  You started with 234 values and have reduced them to the Top 10. But, you are not done! In Round 4 you are required to make the toughest of all your selections... You will need to reduce your Top 10 to the Ultimate 6. That's right! At this point there is no turning back - You must burn the ships at the shoreline and venture on with your Ultimate 6 values.

REBOOT: The Ticking Clock

"When we find our lives

in the REBOOT mode,

The Ticking Clock

is a pressure cooker

of added stress and 

burdensome anxiety!"

~Phillip A. Lopez

Your only job is to learn HOW to control the flame and reduce the heat...

Initiate the REBOOT sequence...

But, HOW?!?

The enemy we all face in the REBOOT mode is emotion.

These emotions can range from;

  -- Shame; for stepping into the sh!t of life,

  -- Embarrassment; other's can see the goo on your shoe,

  -- Loss of Confidence; How could I be this ...

The added stress of choosing a directed starting point, soon becomes
compounded by the anxiety of making the correct choice, multiplied
by urgency and then complicated by the sudden unavailability of
time. This undesirable paradox can easily become overwhelming to
the point of choice paralysis; and may rapidly advance even to the
point of psychological depression. Please do not fear... there is a
direction out and this direction assures that there must be a
starting point.

The most significant point for you to remember is this...

   ~  Everyone REBOOTS!!!  ~

History is filled with all sorts of wonderful recoveries by even the
most adored public successes:

  --Henry Ford - BROKE! In the early development of the internal
combustion engine, He had to get the permission of Mrs. Ford in
order to borrow some money from their savings so that he could
have a few parts made.

  --Thomas Edison - BOUNCED out of school due to the lack of
his ability to comprehend an education.

  -- What about Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, and even the late
great, Steve Jobs; in common, each of these individuals was blessed
with the opportunity to sharpen their REBOOT skills. That's right,
you are not the first to venture down this path, nor will you be
the last.

So are you ready?

The REBOOT Starting Point...

Years ago I read an interview of Wally "Famous" Amos. What
many have always found interesting about Wally is that he
virtually started with nothing! Of course we all know that he
REBOOTED and at one point he built a global enterprise around
'chocolate-chip cookies'.

In the interview Wally was asked, "HOW did you know where to
get started?" At the time, Wally's reply caught me off guard. I
figured he would weave a response filled with the requirements of
great entrepreneurial skills, or the necessity to plan every detail,
or the requirement to entice venture capital. But he didn't. In
summary, his reply was, 'I started with me! I came, one day, to
the realization that I was responsible for the outcome of my life.
That my achievements in life would not come from the things that
I Did Have; But rather, my achievements in life would have to
come from the things that I Did Not Have. That if I really wanted
to do something with my life, I was going to have to be responsible
to make sure that I obtained these things.'

I am convinced that the point Wally was attempting to make was
this; REBOOT is 'an inside job'. That the starting point of all
achievement begins with the person that stares back at you in
the mirror! You know, the bloke you brush your teeth with every
morning... Yeah, that guy!

Confident Enough...

Before we get along too far...
let me ask you a very important question  -- 
Are you confident enough to stare into the eyes of your friend in
the mirror? You will need to be! After all, the person in the mirror
cannot survive without you. And you cannot survive without the
person in the mirror.

So take a minute, go to the mirror... introduce yourself to that
person (shoe goo and all). Take a good look at this person. Come on,
take a good look! You are staring at the person who holds the keys
to your share of the claim of achievement. Do you feel comfortable
with what you see? What if you discover that, this is the person
who keeps imposing false self-limitations? Are you determined
enough to REBOOT this person?

You need to understand, from day one, that there are no elevators
to success. That's right - You, like those who have REBOOTed
before you, are gonna have to take the stairs. So, go ahead - Ask
that person - "If they are willing to travel down the pathway of
Obtainment with you." Come on, you're traveling partners... ask
if that person is tough enough to carry you through the ups and downs, through the sleepless nights, to stand with you through the early
snow of Fall, through the bitter cold of Winter, through the
blistering heat of Summer. Ask that person...

"So, how GOOD can you stand it?" -- This is the starting point!

Imagine - No Limitations...

Regardless, of your purpose, you will deliver it through
AMBITION - Not Anxiety, Not Panic, Not Sympathy,
Not Self Pity!  Imagine for one minute that you have No
Limitations on what you can Be, Do, or Have... only AMBITION
will take you there!!

--- --- ---
Take Away Thoughts: YES, There is something extraordinary about the feeling received as I REBOOT in the direction of fulfilling my purpose; while maintaining an Ambitious thought as simple as - I Can, I Will!

Until you prove to me otherwise, I WILL remain confident

in your abilities and your desire to REBOOT.
