This presentation was offered to several students that I have taught, coached, and mentored. It was, and still is, very impactful as it helps students understand important lessons for a fulfilling life and a successful and rewarding career.

The Truth: Most people lack Critical
Thinking abilities. This is why so
many people believe in conspiracy
theories, political BS, and any other
non-sensical rhetoric and sermons.
10. Sad News:
• 33% of high school graduates never read another book the rest of
their lives and 42% of college grads never read another book after
college. 70% of US adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five
years, and 80% of US families did not buy or read a book last year.

11. 2. Learn Like A
Polymath and
Become A
Polymath

16. Both of these two
perspectives are
WRONG!
They become correct when
one adds the word
“sometimes” at the end of
each statement!

17. The Reality: Free Will and Destiny Co-
Exist
It’s up to the individual to
decide consciously or
subconsciously which one will
prevail at any given situation.

Change your path!
Each path has a different Destiny!
If you don’t like the current Destiny, then
jump on a different path. But before you
do, listen to The Universe. It talks to you!

19. Turn your bliss into your destiny!
Ignore your bliss and then pay the price!

24. Some People Equate
“Bliss” With:
• Aspirations; Dreams
• Complete Happiness
• Peacefulness
• Lack of Stress, Pressure, Trauma, or Fear
• Absence of All Negative Emotions
• Perfectly Balanced Life
• Positive Mindset
• Satisfaction Of Basic Needs
• Having Lots of Money
The Right Perspective:

25. Bliss Can Also Be Viewed As Your Calling
Phillip Andrews 25
26. Another Perspective Of What
“Calling” Is All About:
Your Strengths,
Gifts, Talents and
Abilities
Your Passion;
Your Affinities
(Empathy, Love, etc.)
Mental,
Emotional, and
Spiritual
Satisfaction
Key Point:
“Your Calling” needs to be
focused on societal,
community, people … and
Nature/Earth’s needs (not
focused on personal needs
and wants)

34. A Sad Realization
• Most people have no Bliss, no Destiny, and no Higher Purpose. They
just exist. They live at the animal level.
Living at the animal level!
Opening the door to Higher
Purpose, Higher Self, Bliss, and
Destiny!
Most people have no idea
how to reach the higher-
level Needs

35. Understanding Self-Actualization
Self-Actualization is Achieved by:
• Pursuing one’s bliss or calling
• Leveraging one’s
potentialities, “gifts”, and
talents
• Reaching a higher plateau of
excellence by pushing one’s
limits
• Gaining new abilities and
genii/brilliances
• Shedding the “anchors” and
overcoming obstacles
• Having the courage to
challenge orthodoxies
Self-Actualization
Self-Actualization
Empowered by morality, dignity,
honesty, respect, courage,
fairness, caring, agape … and
“fire in the belly”
Empowered by morality, dignity,
honesty, respect, courage,
fairness, caring, agape … and
“fire in the belly”
Clarification: Being mindful is NOT enough. One
must try to overcome her/his limitations.
Improving one’s IQ is the best way to overcome
many limitations!
This is why “Learning” is so important!

more than a parody of themselves
