What you are gettingTruth, Health and Wealth are the three headings you set for the year ahead, here, where the noise cannot reach you, so the goals answer to your needs and not your feed.
Where it fitsThey are what the Instrument synergizes with, and what the 90-Day Bearing is built to move.
Truth. Your ability to live the life you want, to show up well for yourself and for others, and to be the person you mean to be. It is read through clarity and reverence.
Health. Capacity and recovery: whether you can hold attention, and whether you actually come back from a hard week. It is read through presence and resilience.
Wealth. What you and the people around you get back, financially and socially. It is read through capability and connection.
A heading set in the middle of the feed points at the feed. You set these three at the long table on night three, on paper, after the phone has been in a box for two days. They become the goals of your 90-Day Bearing: the plan that builds the habits and carries the follow-through back to work.
Writing a goal down is not ceremony. In a Dominican University of California study, people who wrote their goals down, drafted the actions behind them and sent weekly progress to a friend achieved substantially more of them than those who only held them in mind. A meta-analysis of more than ninety studies on implementation intentions, the plain if-then plans that sit behind each heading, found a medium to large effect on whether people follow through. And a vision you can state in one sentence is one you can steer by on an ordinary Tuesday. The three headings are written to be read again: they go straight into your 90-Day Bearing, where the weekly recaps keep them in front of you.
