A challenge
One thing you do.
Not a trophy. Not “I completed it.” One practice that tests you, so you can see what you already knew and were scared to say.
You came here to be more you
You already knew.You were scared to say it.
This is not a challenge you finish so you can say you finished it. This is you, finding the things you already knew about yourself, and finally writing them down.
A phase
The next set.
A phase is a new group of those challenges. Wake Up comes first: notice yourself. You cannot change what you still refuse to see.
You
More you. Not someone else.
The point is not a new personality. The point is you, on purpose. Dependable to yourself. Willing to write the thing you already knew.
What you are walking into
Same human. Brighter possibilities. No crowd. No one waiting to grade you.
Plate 1 of 4. The Solo Challenge. That is the gap this challenge enters.
Keywords
- Freedom
- Nobody left to direct you
- The gap
The point
- School, coaches, and institutions used to tell you what came next. Then they stopped.
- You can learn, work, and reach people instantly. You were given extraordinary freedom.
- Someone still has to decide what you do with it. Access is not direction.
- You can know what you should do, and still not do it. That is the gap this challenge enters.
A note from the author
A note on doing the work imperfectly. It does not add a challenge or change a phase.
Keywords
- Imperfect on purpose
- Progress over perfection
- You are the subject
The point
- Nothing in this is supposed to be perfect. There is no perfect person, answer, method, or journey.
- You will do a challenge badly, quit halfway, or wonder why it is here. That is part of the work.
- The paradox: a path that helps you stop needing the path to tell you what to do.
- You are allowed to disagree, question, modify, or skip. The challenge is the experiment. You are the subject.
- It is here to help an imperfect person discover what being imperfect makes possible.
The sinker
You do not need to become perfect. You need to become dependable to yourself.
Phase I, Wake Up, is 8 challenges. They are simple on purpose. Before you can change what you do, you have to notice you are doing it. The first one is today.
