We could say that we live in a pretty chaotic world and that the desire for clarity is an attempt to impose order on the apparent chaos around us. We tame nature and build cities. We build roads across natural landscapes. We seek scientific rules to predict the behavior patterns of matter and energy. When…

What if you’re currently tolerating a situation you don’t want, but you’re unclear about where to go next? What if your current job, relationship, or lifestyle is a mismatch for you, but you feel hesitant to leave it behind? Imagine being stuck on an island, but you don’t like it there. It’s too small.

So far 304 people have joined the new character sculpting deep dive since the start of the year, which is terrific to see. You can see the real-time sign-up count at the top of the Stature page if you’re curious… at least during the initial launch. Since today is the last day of the launch…

This zone of clarity could be called self knowledge, self awareness, and self understanding. Second, there’s clarity about this reality – about the world, the universe,…

I feel like I’ve had a hefty dose of wrestling with the universe’s timing this week. I had wanted to get the invitation video for Stature’s launch done much sooner – several days ago – but I also tried to do this video differently than the other course invitation videos. Mainly I wanted to make…
I just finished 14 days of daily blogging (15 if we include this post), publishing an article called Sculpting Your Character 7 minutes before midnight last night. That was fun piece to write. 🙂 The commitment of this one-year daily blogging challenge is energizing and motivating. And my writing is becoming faster, easier, and more…

But much of that sculpting process was done to you, such as by your family upbringing, the culture you were raised in, and the education you received. Up to a certain…
Today I recorded and added a new 16-minute audio lesson to our current Stature deep dive called “Impossible Invitations.” It’s about those times when some greater power inside us invites us to step into a whole new level of experience, usually by nudging us to do something we don’t think we can handle yet. When…

Modeling is a relatively common concept in personal development: Find someone who’s getting the results you want, learn how they did it, and basically copy their approach. This makes sense from an objective standpoint. If the world is objective in nature, this type of modeling should work well. But does it actually work for you?…

We just launched the new Stature character sculpting deep dive course last night. It’s doing great so far, with dozens of people already signing up for it in less than 24 hours. The price is 70% lower during the launch week (through January 8, 2020), so I’m sure that’s encouraging people to enroll early. At…
