A New View

Improving your thinking, developing your vision, and changing your mindset all start with a choice to grow. But the choice requires a different perspective in time and space. You can’t see the future without changing the view. And this starts with seeing your path Above the Field of Play.

The benefits of developing and sharpening your mind and taking charge of your future leap from studies on psychological well-being. Freedom, mastery, meaningful relationships, a sense of purpose, personal growth, and self-acceptance relate to walking the path of self-development. Importantly, you already have all the gifts, talents, and abilities you need to start or energize your journey. Are you creative? Curious? Courageous? Imaginative? Even if you haven’t fully exercised these amazing human gifts–they’re still within. And ready to go.

The image of Above the Field speaks to important findings about success, happiness, and development. Some of the research is fairly new and the important information and concepts are presented in a practical way. Sometimes, if you understand the concept or idea–that’s all you need to get started. Your perspective changed. You see things a level above. The newness and excitement builds, and you keep moving.

Other times, like skill development, changing your mindset requires practice. You make progress, you do the small things each day, and over time, you change. The information becomes how you see things and then, how you do things. And that makes all the difference.   

Finally, the foundation of Above the Field(s) of Play builds on recent discoveries and theories, but the wisdom of the past is not ignored. New or traditional, wisdom always aligns with what is highest and best within us. The universal spaces where we all connect.
