giving you the tools you need
Problems and challenges are a part of everyday living but few of us were given all the tools we need to overcome never mind succeed in a world that is rapidly changing. The ability to adapt and to be effective in today’s world is exceedingly challenging. Therefore are options have become more limited.
Given this there are only two alternatives 1) consciously determine to grow and change or 2) regress to extinction. Luckily, it isn’t complicated, but it is a choice to grow and become an effective individual in your life.
It means giving up being right all the time. It means being intentional in word and deed. It means learning, practicing, refining and trying again. Relinquishing the right to blame others for your words and actions. In the end it means growing up and choosing to act as an adult in a world that too often devolves into petty childish behaviors instead of reasonable discourse.
Life in Progress is here to help you. Explore the the titles below for skills you will need to learn and perfect other skills.














The Basics Tools are tools that you can use to measure the effectiveness of the skill(s) you use throughout the day. In reviewing your day consider the skills that you used and how effective they were or not. What worked? What didn't? Were there vulnerabilities (see Foundation Fortifiers) If the skill was not effective or there were vulnerabilities what could you do differently next time? How might you refine the skills? What other skill(s) might you try? How might you minimize or eliminate the vulnerabilities? Like any other new learning we must review how effective the skill is or how effective we are utilizing it? Continuing the growth & refinement process towards becoming our best self.
