Life Purpose
1. Who are you?
2. What do you do?
3. Who do you do it for?
4. What do they want or need?
5. How do they change as a result?
____________________________________________
To congruently lead lives where their philosophies and actions are one. It's hard, no impossible, to hit a target when you don't know what it is! Nihilism is not a valid survival strategy. Nihilism is self defeating!
____________________________________________
Goal setting, success/ achievement is like archery
Program the mind with a target and focus on the process/ system moreso then the end goal. The outcome is feedback used to refine the system of lining up your shot.
____________________________________________
You can have many goals, but concentrating on just one at a time will help you accomplish far more than attempting to focus on many at once. Get the fire of desire started within being single-minded about one goal and the flame will naturally spread to others without you forcing it.
____________________________________________
Dabbling is as nonsensical as going to the train station with seven tickets to seven different locations, departing at the same time!

The Power of Purpose
Purpose is the straightest path to power and the ultimate source of personal strength – strength of conviction and strength to persevere. The prescription for extra-ordinary results is knowing what matters to you and taking daily doses of action in alignment with it. When you have a definite purpose for your life, clarity comes faster, which leads to more conviction in your direction, which usually leads to faster decisions. When you make faster decisions, you'll often be the one who makes the first decisions and winds up with the best choices. And when you have the best choices, you have the opportunity for the best experiences. This is how knowing where you're going helps lead you to the best possible outcomes and experiences life has to offer.
____________________________________________
1. Aim toward the highest good
2. Specify your goals
3. Make a schedule and stick to it
____________________________________________
Flow State
We all have goals that we would like to achieve and dreams that we would like to fulfill, but it doesn't matter what you are trying to become better at, if you only do the work when it's convenient or exciting, then you'll never be consistent enough to achieve remarkable results. 
The only way to become excellent is to be endlessly fascinated by doing the same thing over and over. You have to fall in love with boredom. The Goldilocks Rule states that humans experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of their current abilities. The greatest threat to success is not failure but boredom. As habits become routine, they become less interesting and less satisfying. We get bored. Anyone can work hard when they feel motivated. It's the ability to keep going when work isn't exciting that makes the difference. Professionals stick to a schedule; amateurs let life get in the way.
