Welcome to The Ted O'Neill Program. We started this week talking about, well, we've been talking about purpose for the last week and a half, but we started this week talking about the three C's of ultra-success, which we're coaching. Community and Consistency. And I may have said them in a different order, but they're still the three C's. And we've talked about community. We've talked about coaching. Let's talk about consistency. So in the introduction of the concept of purpose that we've been talking about, there is a consistency in the exploration of purpose as well. It's not a one and done thing. The masterclass was great. We had a fantastic introduction to purpose.
1:17 Ted
Right. So you're exactly right. So this concept of purpose, now the people have gone through that. Hopefully, if not, then message us and jump in on the module that we're going to offer. Because purpose is generally not what people think it is. Purpose is something that most people never really consider, and it should be the thing that guides your day-to-day experience, if not your this inhabituated behaviors, period.
So if you're not living toward, if you're not aware of what your unique skill set is, the things that you've developed over time, some of your natural strengths and advantages, and then where your drive and desire is, it's like you're not going to be able to cultivate that into something other than kind of bouncing from experience to experience, hoping that something outside of you is going to change you. So it becomes very difficult. A lot of people experience lack of consistency, or one could also supplement the word or replace the word commitment with consistency because it requires commitment to be consistent towards something. But if you don't know why you're doing it, if there's not a how and the why, then that can be one of the bigger challenges to the whole thing, is executing something moment by moment, because you don't have anything else to tie it back to, other than maybe you think you're supposed to because x, y, z, or put in anything that has prevented you from doing it in the past, and you can see its polar opposite. So this idea of consistency does tie directly into purpose, because as we guide people through the purpose assessment that was developed by the Purpose Company, our friends over there, Gab and Brian Bosché, amazing company, amazing product. So we start with that assessment, and then we work through that with a facilitator, and we can ultimately take all that information, we plug it into a Lifted Academy proprietary product called Your Life Charter, we start working toward legacy.
When you have all those elements firmly in place, things like consistency become axiomatic. It's just how you would then move through the world, because you would start to be able to look at things through a totally different lens. If this doesn't align with my purpose, why would I be wasting my time doing it?
So consistency is no longer something that requires discipline, and all these other words that most people cringe at, because they've never flexed or trained those muscles, and usually that's a negative connotation to them. But when you start to understand the power behind things like sacrifice and discipline and dedication and consistency and commitment, you start to really understand where the higher ticket experiences exist in life. So the more plugged in you are to things like your life purpose and develop a charter, and are working toward a legacy, then things like consistency, it's like it's that's the easiest thing in the world.
It's a byproduct, actually.
Yeah, I mean, exactly. You're not thinking about it. You're not thinking about how do I go in and do this today? You already know how and why.
4:35 Jon
And you're not going to bother wasting your time with the other things. Wow. That's a really cool concept because you talked about legacy earlier this week. And legacy, it turns out, is just the unrelenting connection to your purpose. Day after day, action after action, moment after moment.
4:47 Ted
Yeah. And if we're looking at purpose as the best of what you have to offer for others, this kind of goes hand in hand with legacy because if it's a completely self-centered concept on purpose, then again, it's like, this is where you use some of those over the top examples. Like with legacy. Like if you're not thinking about it, I think on Wednesday I said things like, well, you're good at playing video games. Is that going to be on your tombstone? You were good at finding the best shoe sale. Like really try kind of mundane things. But if you're not thinking about solving bigger problems, in large part for other people, then really what kind of legacy are you going to have?
And at first that might sound unattractive until you recognize that that's really where the greater fulfillment, I think, in all things in life becomes. It is in bringing the best of what we have to offer in the world, honing and refining that and seeing how we can leverage that to help other people on their journey.
