SUMMARY

In this module, we wrote a purpose statement and identified three words that will help us outsmart paralyzing barriers that keep us stuck where we no longer want to be. Thus, in every moment, instead of reacting to life based on our past programming and actions, we have a script that helps us respond with actions that reflect our strengths, values, and goals. By asking ourselves a simple question, we can refocus our attention on what matters most and accelerate progress on our big goals: success and happiness.

The best way to find purpose in life is to act with purpose in every moment. Now that we know where we are going (i.e. success and happiness) and how to get there (i.e. our three words and purpose statement), we are well-equipped to override stress and respond to life with leadership.

In Step 2 we will learn how Persistence helps us Remove Attachment to results so we make progress on our goals no matter the outcome of our actions or the situation. We will address the popular concept of growth mindset and the often underestimated role of luck.
