Aspire Articles

“Be a creator, not a creature.”
What it is
Aspire is the first practice of the Higher Mind system, and the reason for its existence. To aspire is to define who you want to be, and what you want to achieve in life—and then to be moved to achieve these goals. It is taking ownership of your life, deciding that you want to be the master of your destiny.
Why it matters
An aspiration-driven life is a purposeful life. Without powerful aspirations and goals, you will not grow. You will not express your full potential. Your life will lack a center, a deeper sense of meaning—and no amount of pleasure, money, or entertainment can compensate for that emptiness.
How to get started
The first step in this practice is to define your what and your why. Clarify your values, aspirations, Power Words, and goals by going through the exercise in this article and this article. You can also get a free trial of the Higher Mind app, which will allow you to save your aspirations into a vision board for daily review.
