If you have been a part of what we are doing here for any length of time, then you've probably run into at least 1 test. It turns out that I have proposed 7 different ones over the past year.
My hope for you is that each test you engage, whether your pass or fail, propels you forward on your purpose-adventure. They should be challenges, battles and obstacles you face so that become more and more the person who lives life purposefully. So, have you been wrestling with the tests I have offered you?
Consider the following list of tests I have shared with you over the last year.
The truth is that there are not 7 different ways to face these 7 challenges. There is only 1 way and here it is:
It is as simple as this to get started. As hard as it can be to actually take the leap, taking action is actually the easy part. It's not a real test. The test only comes after you have taken action.
The truth is that there are not 7 tests or 70 tests or 700 tests. Just as there is just 1 one way to face a battle while on an adventure, there is actually only 1 test. You may need to overcome it 7000 times, but there is only 1.
Here is your real test:
This is your real test and every time you overcome this obstacle, better this challenge, and win this battle then you are truly living purposefully. And, even if you don't overcome, better, or win you are still growing.
Be well,

Consider the following list of tests I have shared with you over the last year.
- The Measuring Test
- The Injustice Test
- The Wellbeing Test
- The Perfect Life Test
- The Happiness Test
- The Resilience Test
- The Keep At It, Quit It, or Change It Test
The truth is that there are not 7 different ways to face these 7 challenges. There is only 1 way and here it is:
- Quickly pick one of the 7 test mentioned above. I've linked the text to each test for your convenience.
- Quickly come up with a good enough gut response to your selected test.
- Quickly select away you can take action tomorrow, actually it would be better for you to take action today, on your response. I am talking about you taking real-life action, about you doing something real and meaningful now. Just take action.
It is as simple as this to get started. As hard as it can be to actually take the leap, taking action is actually the easy part. It's not a real test. The test only comes after you have taken action.
The truth is that there are not 7 tests or 70 tests or 700 tests. Just as there is just 1 one way to face a battle while on an adventure, there is actually only 1 test. You may need to overcome it 7000 times, but there is only 1.
Here is your real test:
- Once you've taken action do you keep going?
- If your real and meaningful action doesn't work or your gut reaction was wrong today, do you quickly re-engage and try something new tomorrow?
- Will you have the courage to keep pushing until you really learn if what you're doing is working or not?
- Can you keep working without knowing?
- Will you be driven enough to keep doing more even after it works?
This is your real test and every time you overcome this obstacle, better this challenge, and win this battle then you are truly living purposefully. And, even if you don't overcome, better, or win you are still growing.
