W1 1 Take Your Stand
Take Your Stand Jeremy:
Alright, this is it. It's time to take your stand right now, for you to start leaving your mark on this world and develop the capacity for legendary growth and create the purpose driven action that leads to mastery and the deeper level breakthroughs that you get to experience in your life every single day. I want you to capture what you're going to experience just in this lesson. You're going to have a lot of breakthroughs here, and I want you to receive them with the same conviction and passion that it's going to be delivered, and I want you to really, really listen to what is going to be shared with you through this lesson. It's going to be powerful for you. You're going to start seeing and experiencing what it means to truly live in your purpose and why that is so important, because bottom line is, when you are fueled by purpose, living your purpose is essential to achieving self mastery and meaningful breakthroughs in your life. It is the core to being able to get clear on building the level of character and being able to ignite the change necessary for you to be able to progress in a direction of breakthrough. Bottom line is, it just keeps you grounded, it keeps you centered on truly what is the most meaningful part of your journey. It really gives you that level of motivation, that level of real enthusiasm to every single day wake up inspired to be able to take action, to be able to step into the level of mastery that you get to start living by. This gets to be your legacy, this gets to be your focus and intention every single day. You get to be genuinely present in your capacity to live fully, to be in absolute full alignment with who you are. Being fueled by purpose really encapsulates all of this, and bottom line is, for example, giving you the focus and intention. I mean, let's be honest, we live in essentially a zombie world of distractions, whether it's social media, email, all of these different things, there's a million and one different things that are pulling for our attention, and we have control over what we put our attention towards. Our real focus and energy is being diverted in so many different directions on a daily basis, we get to start harnessing that and start taking control over that. The focus and intention that you get from being fueled by purpose allows you those higher levels of intention and awareness and clarity and joy and excitement and confidence, and it builds that motivation. Like I said, you get to go, not just through the motions of life, because there's not real emotion when you're going through the motions. You've got to be emotionally connected to your higher calling if you want to really create a level of mastery and get breakthrough results in your life, that is essential. You can't go through the motions, you've got to be emotionally connected every single step of the way. This is such an important thing, and maybe you're not very ... Maybe you don't think of yourself as just this eccentric type of person. You don't need to be that, you don't have to be that person on stage, or you don't have to be that extrovert per se, to be able to live and be fueled by purpose.

There is a reason you are here right now. There is a reason you're in this training. There is a reason you're looking to create mastery in your life. There is a reason you're looking to up-level in areas of life that matter most. There is a reason why you are here right now, and we must be sure of who you truly are, what you truly value in your life. I mean, life can beat you down on a regular basis if you allow it to, and purpose gets you back up. Purpose allows you to fight another day. Purpose allows you to genuinely be intentional and create this core of grit and perseverance and persistence that allow you to have the tenacity to break through. Being fueled by purpose ... I mean, that is like the core of it, of being able to get alignment with who you are and what you know you can achieve and align the action with that vision, that's being fueled by purpose. Now, there are some very important gates of discovery, discipline, and disconnect that you must go through in order to live purposefully, and here's the first one. The first is the discovery of the distinction between purpose versus purposeful. Now, this is truly the breakthrough that literally ... This is probably the breakthrough that can change everything in your life right here right now, and that is that purpose is not something that you find or discover, it's a daily intentional purposeful action that comes from you. It is not something outside of you that you have to go look for and go on this lost quest, I call, for finding a purpose. How many times have you felt kind of discouraged that it's like, "Wow, I don't have this perfect purpose statement that says this is exactly what I'm going to do for the rest of my life," and you feel disconnected from some deeper meaning because you don't have this written statement or one word that just defines everything about your life ever? Well, guess what? That is not what living your purpose truly is about. Purpose is not you going on this lost quest to find some elusive purpose. You don't need to find a purpose in this world. The world needs you to live purposely in the present moment right now. It is not some quest to go find your purpose. Quit trying to seek out an answer when you are the answer. You right now posses everything needed to live with intention, purposefully, with excellence, and create extraordinary breakthroughs in your life. That's living with purpose, that is living your purpose. It is being purposeful in the intentional actions you take on a daily basis, that's the level of self awareness, and emotional intelligence, and intentionality that is going to help you achieve quantum leaps in your life, as opposed to distancing yourself from this vision because you have to come up with this perfect purpose statement. Well, guess what? Life is always evolving, you are always evolving, the universe is expanding. Why resist that expansion on a regular daily basis? And guess what? If you are limiting yourself to this box of a purpose statement that is so singular and rigid, then you're not allowing yourself the gift of evolution that allows you daily to grow and appreciate into this greater purposeful intentional being every single day. You being able to live in full alignment, and being able to have the level of adaptability to grow. I mean, let's be honest, you're probably looking to be very purposeful when it comes to your career, when it comes to your business, when it comes to what you do for a living, your mission. Well, I only imagine that your purpose, and your level of purposeful action is going to be completely shifted when you go home and you connect with your spouse, and you then have to be purposeful about the level of intentionality you have with

looking them in the eyes and deepening that core connection of that soulmate that you have in front of you. It is a completely different level of purpose. I want you to really receive right now the gift of having permission to evolve your intentionality around being purposeful every single day and not sitting there trying to go off on this mind quest of finding this illusory individual singular purpose. It is not who you get to be, it is not the life that you get to live. Again, you don't need to find a purpose in this world, you are innately purposeful. You have a purpose, and that is to live every day intentionally and create meaning with every ounce of energy you put towards every little thing you do in your day, and the world needs you to live purposefully in that present moment, so that you can grow, you can evolve, you can expand, you can appreciate to the deeper essence of the quantum leaps that you have capable in you. So that is the distinction of purpose versus purposeful in your life. Just think of it this way, this is what I call S3, the significance of a simple shift every single day. Just imagine getting one percent better, one percent growth on a daily basis. That is 30% growth every single month in who you're becoming. Just imagine what that is over the course of a year, over the course of a decade, over the course of your lifetime. Guys, this is the significance of simple shifts. Every great innovative breakthrough in human history has come from one simple thing, a shift in perspective, a shift in perception of what's possible, and the purposeful intention to step in to creating that reality. That is the simple shifts that you get to step into, and that is the significance of being purposeful in your day. I want to give you something that really is a gift of clarity that I think you're going to really align with because it is a powerful parable of what is possible when you finally take this stand of being intentional in your day, and that is this parable of the lighthouse versus the tugboat. I don't know if you've heard this before, and if you have heard it before, you certainly have not heard it with the level of perspective that you probably have now with some of the big breakthroughs that have come up for you so far in this training, and what you're going to experience by hearing it now is hopefully a new level of intentionality behind how you get to live your life. The lighthouse versus the tugboat is such a deep part of what the breakthroughs that you get to experience through this process are really going to ... You know, it's going to define what you've declared is going to be your path. Just think both the lighthouse and the tugboat, they literally have the same job. They do the exact same thing, yet one, the tugboat, does it in a very specific way, and it takes a very specific approach, which inevitably leads to very specific results. So think of the tugboat, what does the tugboat do? The tugboat goes out and he expends his energy every single day to go out there to hustle, to grind, and to go out there every single day to battle the waves and the tide, every single day to go out there and to go seek out the broken down ships in the sea, and to seek them out and to hustle, and to grind, and to find them, and to discover all the broken ships in the sea. They go out there every single day in and out, bringing in, tugging all these massive ships that are broken down, that some of them may not even be looking for the support of the tugboat, but the tugboat goes out there and he or she is going to go out there and

bring these ships back to shore, and they're going to use all their tugboat might to be able to do that. They have massive ships that they need to bring in, and over the course of days, and months, and years, the old tugboat continues to grind it out, and to continue going out there, and continue to fight the tide, and continue to fight the current, and continue to wear down the deeper engine of the tugboat. As the tugboat ages, and as the tugboat continues to grind, and continues to go get the boats that are in the sea, that are lost at sea, and bring them back to shore, what inevitably ends up happening in the lifetime of the tugboat? What ends up happening is that its engine, it's fuel gets burnt out, and that engine at some point no longer has the capacity and the capability to do the meaningful actions that it has done during its lifetime. It is burnt out from grinding against the tide, hustling against the current, and going out there and finding the broken down ships that maybe never should have been at shore in the first place, and they're going to drag them back to shore. What's going to happen over the course of the lifetime of a tugboat? That tugboat maybe saves, let's say a couple of hundred ships, which would be extremely impressive. Heck, maybe even 1,000 ships, but they save maybe a few hundred at most of the ships that they've brought back to shore, and I want you to just take that in. Does that sound like what you're experiencing right now? Are you fighting the current? Does it feel like you're always grinding it out and hustling and going out there to sea, only to just drag all this energy and effort back to shore? Are you the tugboat right now? I want you to really give yourself the gift of deep, honest, introspective examination right now, and just be honest with yourself. Has that been what you've been experiencing? Because I want you to contrast that with the lighthouse. What does the lighthouse do? The lighthouse can't go out there and fight the current, nor is it looking to do so. The lighthouse takes a bold, confident, clear stand on the shore, and it shines its light from the inside out. It shines its light to the rest of the ocean, and it is inviting those ships to do the most empowering thing that we all can do for each other, which is allow those ships to make the free will, self authorizing choice to either come to shore in the right way, by avoiding the rocks, by avoiding the harbor, by avoiding the dangers of what lies ahead, and it invites those ships to have their own personal experience of coming through in their own way. That is the life of the lighthouse, taking a bold, confident, clear, and self authorizing stand to purposefully act intentionally and shine the light from the inside out to the rest of the ocean and the rest of the ships at sea, to boldly share authentically its light, and invite those that truly align with that to take the path that it has given. Really being able to take your stand and shine your light authentically and truly set the intention to share and to be and to live your purpose allows you to really create a lifetime of energy, excitement, enthusiasm, joy, passion, and genuine meaningful purpose. The lighthouse doesn't wear down. The lighthouse motor doesn't run thin. The lighthouse stands the test of time. The lighthouse can always regenerate its light from within. The lighthouse takes a stand. That's what you get to do right now from this moment forward. You get to decide: are you going to move forward as a tugboat, or a lighthouse? Are you going to move forward against the tide, grinding it out? Or are you going to take a bold, confident, courageous stand once and for all to live purposefully from the vision you

have for creating meaning in your life? I want to invite you to choosing right now the path you get to take, because it's inevitably going to open the breakthroughs that you get to have. Again, there's no right or wrong answer, it's simply, what result are you really looking to get? What is the quality of life and the life vision that you've created for yourself? What is that clear purpose driven path that you have put ahead for you? Let's reverse engineer it, and which path allows you to get the results that you want? The bottom line is, it's going to come down to, whichever path you go, taking purposeful acts of excellence, and this is how you do it. This is the discipline, the second step of discipline that is necessary, or daily purposeful acts of excellence. This is how you start living your purpose and actually start creating intentionality in your day with every area, with all seven domains, or personal empires that we talked about before. Each of those domains gets to have this level of intentionality. Number one, the capacity: are you constantly growing, developing your self awareness, and truly committing to personal breakthrough mastery? Have you planned out the next 12 months of personal growth? What are the books, the conferences, the seminars, the courses that you're 100% committed to following through with going into and creating this foundation of mastery? Are you really expanding your capacity to grow and to really be able to appreciate on a regular basis? Bottom line is, think of it this way, the best way that I can explain it is, think of an eight ounce glass. Think of you and your capacity right now as an eight ounce glass, and right now, if I were to take a jug, a gallon of breakthrough nourishment water and just start pouring it into your glass, if all I did was just pour the entire gallon of breakthrough nourishment into that eight ounce glass, without any expansion or capacity to be able to take on that gallon, the only thing we're going to be left with at the end of the day is an eight ounce glass of water and a wet floor. There's not going to be any more information that I'm going to just be able to jam down that eight ounce glass that's going to help you grow any further. So we've got to be able to expand the capacity of who you're becoming so that you can truly take in all of these amazing insights and truly engage them in a way that you evolve into something that allows you to execute at this level. So your capacity is key. Are you growing that capacity on a daily basis? Are you setting the purposeful acts of excellence to be best in your capacity? Number two: are you surrounding yourself with excellence? With people that truly allow you to thrive? Are you building a network of family, friends, coworkers, accountability partners, community that allow you to create purposeful acts of excellence on a daily basis and actually hold you to that standard? Number three: are you actually intentionally building your skill and your skillset for mastery? Are you building the necessary skills to create growth in the areas of life that are most meaningful for you? Are you truly creating a level of competence in the area or field that you have a creative genius in that allows you to be world class and create a legendary experience in life that allows you to leave behind something very special? Are you building the level of competence necessary for you to purposefully act with excellence on a daily basis?

Number four: you want to look at this and truly grasp are you doing exactly what allows you to contribute in a meaningful way? Do you have an active cause right now that you're currently involved with in supporting and leading? Are you serving each day with excellence your clients, your customers, your coworkers, your employees? Are you in full service every single day, and are you taking purposeful acts of excellence in service? Really examine these, this is the discipline that we get to be clear on with all of the seven domains, or personal empires, that are going to lead to breakthrough mastery. So really give yourself an honest assessment. Are you living up to these levels of personal acts of excellence, or purposeful acts of excellence? Are you living up to the standards that you know that you can create results from? So really examine this because right in the middle there, that is mastery, that is breakthrough. That right there is your transformation. You take all of these and purposefully set an intention and create the environment for mastery, your breakthroughs are to come. So here's how you live your purpose: bottom line is, it's not about writing a perfect statement. You're here to leave a bold statement in this lifetime. Forget what others think, forget what others think about, about your mission, about anything that you do. Focus on purposeful action on a daily basis and become the star of your movie. Just think, you are starring in your movie right now. You're the writer, director, and primary actor in your movie. What kind of movie are you wanting to create? Adapt with each new scene, become the best actor you can be, become the star, the superstar of your movie. Just remember this: life neither happens to us, you know? Some people think, "Oh, life happens to me, and all these circumstances, all these things, all these unfortunate happenings, these are all happening to me, and I'm a victim." Well, that's one way to approach it. The other way is, a lot of people think, "Everything's happening for me." They think that all the things around them are happening for them, and that's one step in the right direction, but here's what I truly believe will allow you to live purposefully, is when you realize that life genuinely happens from you, it is truly being generated from within and expressed out through your development, your growth, and your commitment to genuinely breaking through in the areas of mastery that allow you to articulate your creative genius in a powerful, meaningful, and world class way out in the world, and allow you to leave a legacy. This is what it means to live your purpose.

Alright, this is it. It's time to take your stand right now, for you to start leaving your mark on this world and develop the capacity for legendary growth and create the purpose driven action that leads to mastery and the deeper level breakthroughs that you get to experience in your life every single day.

looking them in the eyes and deepening that core connection of that soulmate that you have in front of you. It is a completely different level of purpose. I want you to really receive right now the gift of having permission to evolve your intentionality around being purposeful every single day and not sitting there trying to go off on this mind quest of finding this illusory individual singular purpose.

Really being able to take your stand and shine your light authentically and truly set the intention to share and to be and to live your purpose allows you to really create a lifetime of energy, excitement, enthusiasm, joy, passion, and genuine meaningful purpose. The lighthouse doesn't wear down. The lighthouse motor doesn't run thin. The lighthouse stands the test of time. The lighthouse can always regenerate its light from within. The lighthouse takes a stand. That's what you get to do right now from this moment forward. You get to decide: are you going to move forward as a tugboat, or a lighthouse? Are you going to move forward against the tide, grinding it out? Or are you going to take a bold, confident, courageous stand once and for all to live purposefully from the vision you

This is how you start living your purpose and actually start creating intentionality in your day with every area, with all seven domains, or personal empires that we talked about before. Each of those domains gets to have this level of intentionality. Number one, the capacity: are you constantly growing, developing your self awareness, and truly committing to personal breakthrough mastery? Have you planned out the next 12 months of personal growth? What are the books, the conferences, the seminars, the courses that you're 100% committed to following through with going into and creating this foundation of mastery? Are you really expanding your capacity to grow and to really be able to appreciate on a regular basis? Bottom line is, think of it this way, the best way that I can explain it is, think of an eight ounce glass. Think of you and your capacity right now as an eight ounce glass, and right now, if I were to take a jug, a gallon of breakthrough nourishment water and just start pouring it into your glass, if all I did was just pour the entire gallon of breakthrough nourishment into that eight ounce glass, without any expansion or capacity to be able to take on that gallon, the only thing we're going to be left with at the end of the day is an eight ounce glass of water and a wet floor. There's not going to be any more information that I'm going to just be able to jam down that eight ounce glass that's going to help you grow any further. So we've got to be able to expand the capacity of who you're becoming so that you can truly take in all of these amazing insights and truly engage them in a way that you evolve into something that allows you to execute at this level. So your capacity is key. Are you growing that capacity on a daily basis? Are you setting the purposeful acts of excellence to be best in your capacity? Number two: are you surrounding yourself with excellence? With people that truly allow you to thrive? Are you building a network of family, friends, coworkers, accountability partners, community that allow you to create purposeful acts of excellence on a daily basis and actually hold you to that standard? Number three: are you actually intentionally building your skill and your skillset for mastery? Are you building the necessary skills to create growth in the areas of life that are most meaningful for you? Are you truly creating a level of competence in the area or field that you have a creative genius in that allows you to be world class and create a legendary experience in life that allows you to leave behind something very special? Are you building the level of competence necessary for you to purposefully act with excellence on a daily basis?

Number four: you want to look at this and truly grasp are you doing exactly what allows you to contribute in a meaningful way? Do you have an active cause right now that you're currently involved with in supporting and leading? Are you serving each day with excellence your clients, your customers, your coworkers, your employees? Are you in full service every single day, and are you taking purposeful acts of excellence in service? Really examine these, this is the discipline that we get to be clear on with all of the seven domains, or personal empires, that are going to lead to breakthrough mastery. So really give yourself an honest assessment. Are you living up to these levels of personal acts of excellence, or purposeful acts of excellence? Are you living up to the standards that you know that you can create results from? So really examine this because right in the middle there, that is mastery, that is breakthrough. That right there is your transformation. You take all of these and purposefully set an intention and create the environment for mastery, your breakthroughs are to come. So here's how you live your purpose: bottom line is, it's not about writing a perfect statement. You're here to leave a bold statement in this lifetime. Forget what others think, forget what others think about, about your mission, about anything that you do. Focus on purposeful action on a daily basis and become the star of your movie. Just think, you are starring in your movie right now. You're the writer, director, and primary actor in your movie. What kind of movie are you wanting to create? Adapt with each new scene, become the best actor you can be, become the star, the superstar of your movie. Just remember this: life neither happens to us, you know? Some people think, "Oh, life happens to me, and all these circumstances, all these things, all these unfortunate happenings, these are all happening to me, and I'm a victim." Well, that's one way to approach it. The other way is, a lot of people think, "Everything's happening for me." They think that all the things around them are happening for them, and that's one step in the right direction, but here's what I truly believe will allow you to live purposefully, is when you realize that life genuinely happens from you, it is truly being generated from within and expressed out through your development, your growth, and your commitment to genuinely breaking through in the areas of mastery that allow you to articulate your creative genius in a powerful, meaningful, and world class way out in the world, and allow you to leave a legacy. This is what it means to live your purpose.
