Part Three with Coach Brickhouse.

Ben and I wrap up our series by talking a lot of random things in the episode. We talk about history, our lives, and people who are using their gifts in a variety of ways. The main idea of this episode:

Do it your way. Don’t worry if you don’t fit the mold or measure up to the expectations of others.

In order to reach our goals, we have had to learn how to wade through all of our life experiences, all of the bits and pieces of wisdom that we have been given and figure out the best path for our individual lives. Avoid the pitfalls that lead to teen and young adult depression, anxiety, and general hopelessness about the future. You have great power in determining how the current circumstances of life will impact your future.

The path to your IDEAL life involves answering five questions:

• Who am I?


• Where do I want to go in life?


• How do I stay relevant in an ever-changing world?


• How can I stay sharp and honed in on my IDEAL path?


• How do I release the baggage of my past and continue to move forward in life?

Using those five questions, I have developed the IDEAL framework for helping people just like you to discover your calling in life. These will help you develop your healthy identity in our cluttered and dynamic world.
