Jump-start 2025

This week’s video delivers a powerful two-punch to help jump-start your thinking and planning for 2025. Dan will help you elevate your aims for maximum “pull” while re-coding your mental “operating system” in three specific ways.

READ THE TRANSCRIPT.

It’s December, which means you’re already thinking about plans and goals for 2025. What we’re really after, I believe is
integrated growth. First, think of development in any area as a function of time, and the entirety of your lifetime. We may reach a plateau where it’s harder to change or we’re good enough, and think we can just maintain. But that’s not true, as time will likely make what works now less effective.

That’s why we always need positive aims to strive for and pull us in compelling ways. So, what do you want more of? Are you
willing to try or do something new or different? Are you serious, but unhurried, as lasting change requires small adjustments
over time.

Then, we must continuously update our code, or operating system , for thought, talk, and behavior, bringing conscious awareness
to turn automatic reactions into improved and intentional responses.

For instance, if an opportunity presents itself that is totally congruent with your positive aim, then you must increase your A
squared. Attention and Acceptance. Or reveal you’re not serious. And if your current behavior is incongruent with your positive
aim, then stop it, or replace it, with a new behavior, going forward.

How about your belief system? If your BS is unhelpful, or incompatible, you need to change it by suspending disbelief, or
upgrading by adopting the belief of someone successful. And if your belief is revealed to be untrue, well, it’s time to stop BSing
yourself.

Lastly, if uncertainty brings you fear and anxiety, rewrite that code to excitement and opportunity, because everything is growth
if you take responsibility for results and responses. You see, growth is never a straight line. It’s an immersive lifelong project in so many respects. So let’s improve our positive aims and upgrade our code to turn our OS into a GS. A growth system for life. Until next week, stay Off Balance On Purpose.
