Tools For The Best Life Possible
The purpose of this website is to provide tools to help optimize every aspect of your life according to your unique Purpose, Values, Goals, Strengths and Weaknesses.
For me, it's an incredible journey that's taken over four decades of considerable time and effort. To you, I offer simple and effective Tools that can save a huge amount of your time and effort!
Your Optimal Equation
Here's an equation that describes and measures YOUR Optimal life:
YO = (S + W / V + G) * P
Where YO is Your Optimal, S are your Strengths, W are your Weaknesses, V are your values, G are your goals and P is your purpose. It's a simple and liberating equation that will bring you to your knees as it frees you. In fact, it may already be doing so. Read more about Your Optimal Equation.
Getting Started
Optimizing anything is a circular effort that requires multiple passes, making small or large changes, then measuring the results in an attempt to continuously improve the outcome or condition. Applied to the process of optimizing your life this circular effort falls naturally into the sequence of:
- Defining: The scope and sustaining areas of your life.
- Discovering: Your purpose, values, goals, strengths & weaknesses.
- Designing: A practical framework for a livable plan.
- Living: The actual moments and days of your life
Each part of the sequence feeds the next. Insights gained through Defining inform your Discovering and likewise Designing and Living phases. As you notice aspects of your life that are not optimal its back to the Defining phase to zero-in on that aspect.
Areas Of Life
The are no areas of life that cannot be optimized. However, each area you need to sustain your life will impose a natural cost on your limited strengths. Therefore, be careful to exclude areas that are not mandatory to your life, happiness or fulfillment of purpose. The areas of life that you do include are a clue to discovering your purpose. As your purpose becomes clear, however, all areas of your life must be congruent with that purpose. This may seem overly restrictive, at first. It is, however, a natural and liberating process of elimination. Whatever your purpose may be the following areas of life are the minimum for happiness or fulfillment in any life:
- Finance: The money has to come from somewhere.
- Health: The very premise of life on this earth, let alone purpose.
- Family & Friends: Even loners don't want to be alone.
- God: Come to terms with creation or your true purpose may forever elude you.
- Personal: Unique Strengths, Weaknesses, Values and Goals lead the way to discovering your Purpose and Missions in everyday joy.
These are the minimum. The minimum is also the easiest to maintain because each area exacts a cost on strengths. Your purpose may involve more areas. Hopefully, by the time you discover that purpose your strengths will have grown to be able to support those additional areas and still optimize the minimum.
What Tools?
The most powerful Tools are ideas. But, ideas are not the only Tools we need. This website will provide the most powerful Tools I've discovered to help optimize every aspect of life. Since words are sometimes the best means of expressing ideas many of the Tools made available on this site will be the ideas presented in Articles made up of words. However, words have limits and are best supplemented with pictures, diagrams, sounds, experiences, equations, checklists, procedures, books, and whatever manner of mental or physical thing is best deployed on the path to reaching Your Optimal.
