Overall I got most from Brians new year post re goals and many of the notes have reinforced the messages in this. I now have Rituals and creatives goals and general am letting the outcomes take care of themselves.
I think the main benefit for me has been the energy from the Brian and Community. This has kept pulling me back to the baseline and getting me back on track.
My one suggestion in follow up would be setting up some kind of group rituals tool. The ability to follow your rituals online and share your experience with them and how the notes interact with achieving them would be a great long term way to help everyone stay on track.

I do mad endurance stuff that I am never really fit or prepared enough for so the only way to get even close to the goal is to concentrate on each footstep. I must admit have not completed probably 50% of the events I have entered - so what. When your body thinks it can only do 60 miles and you managed to get it to 90 does it really matter that you missed the last 10. Also when you are pushing the boundaries that much there is only the present cos you do not have the energy or the mental bandwidth for more.

It is nice when you get a paradigm shift even if it is a small one. Looking at hungry assets as potential liabilities is great. As always you do have to consider time in this, the liability of today is the asset of tomorrow. Someone I know has just finished 30 years in the police. He treated this as serving time for a purpose. So at 48 his house is paid for and he will have the same net cash in his pocket for the rest of his life from his pension, most importantly it gave him the space to walk to both poles, climb and more recently set up an expeditions company that has given about 100 people so far the chance to expand themselves and conquer fear in the wilderness.
One of the challenges when discussing living in the present moment is the apparent conflict with strategic achievement. the approach to focus being unbalanced is great. The idea that you choose to be unbalanced to move forward and then choose to rebalance is perfect. It fits with the heart resting for 15 hours idea and the fact the an anaerobic state is automatically rebalanced by the body once the work has been completed. This also fits with the policeman as he had total focus on the end game and the present moment and accepted a very long period of slight imbalance to reach his objective.
Finally as a business guy it is always nice to use the enterprise metaphors. I am always banging on about opportunity cost at work but never really thought to directly apply it to the rest of life. Doh...

I had a great Eureka moment about a year ago (at a Cisco conference of all places) where I realised there were three separate areas I needed to nuture. These were;
Body - this is about money, food, stuff. It is essential but most people get
stuck here.
Heart - This is where your passion lies, where you soar.
Soul - this is more about the universe than you. Where do you most
effectively interact with the universe. Improve the world.
At this point for me these are still 3 separate but interconnected areas of activity but I can see the time when they will be one. To me that is my zone of genius and today's book reminded me to keep the body under control so the others can flourish.

Interesting to see how annoyed many people get if you live reality - if you say and believe 'it is what it is' you relax but those around you, who have not let go, seem to add your potential stress to theirs. I guess the essential addition to the note might be to actively share the calmness you gain. Good for you and everyone around you.
