Maintaining your balance in today’s off-balance world is never ending challenge. That’s why Dan tells you to give up trying to live your life “on balance,” and start living Off Balance On Purpose. This is the only way you will experience true happiness, accomplish meaningful goals, and lead a life which has lasting significance. The O.B.O.P. philosophy is based on three powerful principles: 1. You will never achieve perfect balance. You are in a constant state of being off balance, making adjustments in one area of life that affect other areas of your life. 2. Being “Off Balance” is the desired method of operation. Off balance is how you accomplish goals, grow, and make a meaningful difference to others. 3. “On Purpose” has two very important meanings: First, your actions must be intentional and deliberate. This means taking responsibility for what you do and making conscious choices about how you will invest your precious resources of time, energy and money. Secondly “On Purpose” means that your decisions and actions are directly linked to your values, beliefs, mission, and goals. Instead of living a life of activity, you need to start building a “pattern of action” that comes from the very core of who you are.
