Description

This is an installation and implementation session on the higher Horizons of Focus?. We will spend time exploring if anything has your attention at each of the horizons, and will end with integrating the horizons at the project and next action levels. During the session, there are sections where you can create or refine what you have on each of the horizons. The prompt questions for each of the horizons are listed below. These sections were about five minutes each in the live webinar. We have edited out those sections of silence for this recording. Please feel free to stop the recording as you reach those sections, and use the prompt questions below to work on each of your horizons. The webinar concluded with these two thoughts: Without clear purpose and direction you could easily be busy doing off-course things and wonder why a meaningful life is so elusive Getting the right small things done directly contributes to an authentic and meaningful life HORIZON 5: Purpose and Principles My purpose and principles contribute to my authentic life. Trigger Questions: What gets me up out of bed in the morning? What is most meaningful to me? What, if I am doing or expressing it, makes me feel like I am being who I really am, at my best? When do I feel like I really ?show up?? What really matters to me, in terms of how I live and work? What do I hold as standards for myself, no matter what, in terms of how I am living and working? HORIZON 4: Vision My purpose and principles influence my vision. My vision contributes to my purpose and principles.
