LIFE IS A SPORT  THE WORLD IS YOUR ARENA

MORE THAN HISTORY

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE WHILE ALSO CREATING A LEGACY SOME MAY CHOOSE FOLLOW

As you journey through life, you will undoubtedly encounter various obstacles, some just and some seemingly unfair. These challenges may arise from your own decisions or from a system that appears determined to hinder your progress. Regardless of their source, they are a natural aspect of your experience. My mission as an educator is to empower you to navigate these difficulties and realize your dreams, despite the surrounding circumstances. How can you transcend a system that seems intent on suppressing your potential? By crafting your own framework for success, which should include a strong work ethic, personal accountability, meticulous preparation, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a relentless focus on being both efficient and effective. The choices you make and the priorities you establish will shape the course of your life. I hold high expectations for you, and you should recognize and embrace that potential wholeheartedly.
Objective

History is the exploration of the dynamic relationship between individuals and societal influences.  This course’s objective is to foster a deep understanding and skill set that empowers learners to apply historical insights for future success while also creating a meaningful legacy that inspires generations to come.

The Power of When

Everyone’s race is personalized.  The timing, length, pace, and “when” is different for everyone.  The pivotal question is whether you are ready for “when” opportunity knocks.  Luck is often characterized as the intersection of when preparation and opportunity meet; however, a more accurate view sees luck as the access and domination of limited opportunities. Are you prepared for your “when” to obtain your win?

Viewing history through this lens reveals the critical importance of preparedness while highlighting the consequences of overlooking it.  This will heighten your senses on how rare and limited opportunities are and the importance of seizing the moment.  You are truly blessed if “when” only arrives once because many will not be givin the chance to succeed or fail.

“When” does not bring success and failure.  Every one expects “when” to come but “when”looks different for everyone and every one responds differently when their “when” arrives.

Creating & Manipulating Systems

Society thrives on effective systems, and this principle extends to individuals as well. Each of us has established routines and processes that contribute to our success. What systems can you develop or modify to enhance your efficiency and achieve the goals you have set for yourself?

As we delve into historical narratives, we will investigate how diverse cultures crafted systems that fostered their societal advancement. Reflect on the individuals and ideas you should engage with to enhance your potential for success in achieving both your immediate and long-term goals.

We will also explore strategies for navigating and shaping the systems we encounter by learning from those excelled in their environments. To achieve your goals, it is essential to either design a system that aligns with your objectives or to discover methods to manipulate the existing system to secure the results you seek.

Throughout the year, you will lay the groundwork for your future success by investing in your personal development and learning from those who have accomplished the goals you aspire to achieve.

Personal Development

This primary focus is to teach you the discipline, grit, and system required for you to achieve the goals and dreams that you have.  Life is a Sport which means life requires you to compete.  The only difference between life and sport is there are no timeouts in life.

This course will force you to identify your strengths that will put you in place for success but this course will also force you to confront the weaknesses that can limit you from achieving the dreams that God intended for you to experience.

Patience is just as important as urgency. Understanding the pace at which you need to move can foster peace and joy even in the face of adversity, fear, and frustration.
