The Freedom Response

Character development is more important than achieving the goal.

Character development is more important than achieving the end result...the goal.

Allow me to explain and see where you are with what I present for your consideration:

I have learned to document my days not with endless lists and random quotes, but in a way that reflects my values, vision and goals, and when these principles are taken daily they contribute to the development of my character regardless of what outcome happens. 

This is what is unique for helping others with The Freedom Response….character development. 

Over time as a new story is written, who I am becoming is what I share with those in my community and circles that are interested in progress and living out your God-Given Design.

Your God-Given Design is about character development more so than a goal - because God can remove an outcome, you can lose interest in an outcome or the outcome can change but who you are becoming is more important than any outcome that you can achieve. 

How to start? 

1- Take a blank notebook and design a story that tells a new chapter of your life. 

We start with page one - on a blank page. 

This is one way I coach others - to learn how to document, write, and tell their story;

We start with what is getting in the way of how you live your life. Most likely you are living life on autopilot, unconscious and unaware of why life is happening to you like it is currently.  Most people are reacting to life and are mentally, emotionally and soulfully exhausted and do not have the energy to think about how to get out of this roller coaster way of living life let alone take care of your own health - so, no wonder people want relief and just chill and numb out. You can have a desire to not care and just do whatever the hell you want to do. 
This can be a 'distracted' way of living life in that distractions become important to you for relief. 

 The opposite is living by intentional conscious choices that reflect your values. 

 2- Once I help you discover and write out your values we look at what you have accomplished in the past that reveals knowledge and understanding of what you can do today - and that contributes to fulfilling a vision in the future. Your values fuel your vision of what you want to gain or create - and believe it or not, these values are already there inside of you - but you have misplaced or replaced them with something less important to you. 

3- Next up is learning about committing to a process - an intention. This is more about who you are becoming in the process of living out your values. Everyday you can take intentional actions that fulfill your daily achievements that accumulate to what you do in a week and longer. 

You will realize that a 1% daily habit accomplished is a step to a weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly goal accomplishment.  

Tracking your progress like this gives your mind, heart & soul a sense of wins for the day that fuels your progress for the week and you will notice it in who you are becoming and see it in your journal....like a new story. 

This is a nice way to live life knowing what you are doing, learning and moving towards - just with a blank page in your journal. 

 This is a skill that anyone can learn how to do. 

4- Finally, when done in a community that gives you accountability and you actually want to look forward to connecting with other like-minded people - instead of feeling shame of falling behind or not matching what others are doing - this is all about who you are becoming more so than the outcome. Of course, the accomplishment of your goal is exciting but sometimes we need to adjust, realign or need to pursue an option that is more in align with our values - we do not know until we try and we try to gain knowledge, understanding, maturity and wisdom = this is what we are after as character is more important than the temporary achievement of a shiny goal. 

This process is like an experiment to find out what works, learn about it and refine it. This experience is way more enjoyable and realistic when done with others that inspire you, encourage you and offer guidance to what you can not see. This is what is missing from most groups or individuals that want mentoring and guidance from others that have traveled ahead of us. 

 Yes, this is unique for The Freedom Response in that Character is more important than the Goal.

 You have heard it before with failure is not failing - it is knowledge of what to learn from to adjust our mindset AND faith for the next step - and when you do this in community it enhances your ability to implement it in a deeper way quicker instead of wandering around for periods of time procrastinating as to what to do next.  

When you meet back up in our community you will WANT to have progressed to tell a new story - this is unique for us in that the desire within you to progress is coming from God and your transformed heart as it is fueled by grace to develop character over outcomes.
