Through participating in the GPS Life
Purpose Journey, people use DISC to discover their personality. That
understanding puts them on a path to leading a focused, satisfying and
meaningful life. Many, for the first time, begin to understand their
traits and whether they are action-oriented, enthusiastic and energetic,
warm and relational, or perhaps perfectionistic. They achieve a
measure of freedom because they now know they were designed differently
from others, that they don’t have to be like everyone else, and can
embrace and enjoy their uniqueness.

Reasons Not to
Act Your Age
A dear friend was telling me about the exploits of his eldest daughter. He told me that she was undertaking a start-up venture and had set, what was in his mind, an unrealistic goal for raising capital. He feared that she might be setting herself up for disappointment. Then he told me, “You know what, George? She did it! She didn’t know it was probably impossible and so she did it!”
As I recounted the story to another friend, I began to see how in my life and the lives of most of those I know who are at least 40, that there is a tendency to become increasingly cautious about life. By that age we have experienced some setbacks and have a more “be careful” attitude then when we were in our 20’s and 30’s. That cautiousness, while a good thing, is also like a suit of armor which protects us but also limits our mobility, flexibility and possibilities.

If you want to discover why God put you
here on this earth, you will have to consider your money, your talent
and ability, and your time. Those who take The GPS Life Journey, do
so to discover and engage in God’s purposes for their lives. As part
of the workshop they design a path forward that helps them remove
roadblocks that could hinder them. They receive coaching as they:
- analyze how they spend their money in order to achieve financial capacity.
- evaluate their life experiences and passion to see what they have to offer others.
- review the hours of every day and what activities fill them and consider changes.
