“What an inspirational journey”

What an inspirational journey. I have taken many courses on and offline, and this one is truly outstanding. I just wanted to share what I learned, how far I got and what it does for me in a big scheme of things.
Working through the quest really taught me how to intrinsically motivate myself which will tremendously help me move towards my MTPs because my default setting was to lose excitement with time while accomplishing goals. I had ideas and saw a way towards them, but the quest helped me put everything together and showed which triggers to utilize to reach my potential ultimately. 
Before the quest, I also had a purpose and was making steps towards that. However, I was too scattered to make progress I need to make. Here, I learned how to keep my focus, which keeps me moving forward and what I can do differently/change.

Here is what I was able to accomplish in the last five weeks:
1. Found a path to my resourceful state and tapped into it.
2. Organized many of my ideas into curiosities and united them under my MTPs.
3. Understood what it means to be pushed beyond my limits.
4. Made six mind maps as guides to working further on developing the HOF.
5. Dove deep into my flow profiles and discovered that some abilities previously perceived as weaknesses are actually part of my flow state. 
6. Aligned my MTFs with my MTPs and laid out how interdependent they are. 
7. Created specific daily and weekly tasks on my planning app. 
8. Identified my most limiting weaknesses, was able to reflect on how they affected me and devised a plan for training them.
9. Still working on de-risking and mastering the fears as I realized that I need time to establish the de-risking practice.
10. Was able to make a video for my ferocious fellow people that was a first step towards mastering my fear.
11. Clarified how to different aspects of my life can work in tandem with my development.
12. Put everything I know about myself in a perspective that aligns with my performance.
Looking back at Day two and why it’s important to take this quest, I can say that it hit most of the points on the list.
It was an inspiring process to work with such an amazing group of people and learn from the best.
Thank you, Steve Allen, for your fantastic guidance. Thank you to Steven Kotler for designing and sharing the tools.
I know it's just the beginning and really feel like it can lead us to greatness. Let's continue being driven and developing ferociousness, it's contagious!
