FIELD NOTES | ENTRY #001
Most people don’t need motivation.
They need a map.
That’s where The Compass begins.
Everything you’re chasing — internally or externally — lives in one of four domains.
These are the mountains you’re already trying to climb — whether you’ve named them or not:
Being — Who are you becoming?
Doing — How are you behaving consistently?
Having — What are you building or stewarding?
Sharing — How are you connecting and contributing?
Everything you want lives here.
And everything you’re avoiding lives here, too.
When I was at my lowest —
Sleeping in a spare room.
Ashamed of my choices.
Numb to the future.
I couldn’t lie to myself anymore.
I wasn’t becoming the man I respected.
I wasn’t doing what I said mattered.
I didn’t have peace, structure, or dignity.
I wasn’t sharing anything I’d want others to imitate.
That was rock bottom.
But it was also a starting line.
These Four Coordinates became a way to orient myself again.
In the weeks ahead, I’ll unpack all four.
We’ll mark them.
Map them.
Move through them.
Because most people don’t fail from lack of effort.
They fail from lack of clarity.
Next week, we start getting clear.
What to Expect from Field Notes
This entry sets the tone.
Going forward, each edition of Field Notes will follow a rhythm — grounded in reflection, guided by systems, and focused on movement.
Here’s what you can expect each week:
Field Reflection – A lived insight drawn from the climb
Weekly Compass – One focused question and a Trail Task to help you align and advance
Anchor Spotlight – A look at one of the Seven Anchors shaping behavior and quality
Resources from the Trail – A few tested tools, practices, or companions worth carrying
The aim isn’t noise or novelty.
It’s clarity.
Not content for content’s sake, but direction — for those climbing toward something that matters.
Thanks for reading.
Until next week —
Engage. Adapt. Overcome.
— Remy
