When I think about being “better,” I don’t think about being superhuman, or being everything that I’m not, but about being me — only better. I’m talking about the best possible version of me, the kind of person that wakes up in the morning, knows what he wants to do, and gets it done. And not just inconsequential things like taking out the garbage and tidying my office, but significant, important things — the kinds of things that can change the world!
It’s intimidating at times to realize that I can be so much more, partly because I’ve fallen so low that it can seem difficult to honestly see myself living up to that standard. But the thing I often forget is that you don’t go from being an amateur to an instant professional overnight, it takes lots of dedicated training and practice. It’s only by putting in the time and effort that you become an expert in your field.
That’s the most important benefit of the Calibration Method: its goal is to help you step up your game from being an average, amateur “you” to become an expert “you,” the best possible version of “you,” through daily training, just as an athlete or a musician improves a little bit each day. I developed the Calibration Method in response to my own ever-growing feeling that I wasn’t living up to my potential and that I could be and do so much more than I currently was. I’ll soon be 40, and so you can also chalk this up to a kind of mid-life crisis. Some guys buy sports cars, I build a personal development system. To each his own.
I’ve been using the system now for about 3 weeks, and I must say I’m quite pleased with the results. My life while using this system has definitely been going through a dramatic shift, though to an outside observer it may seem that nothing has changed. But my biggest success has been in those little moments, where I’m faced with a choice to either keep living the same sub-par life I’ve been living up to now, or make a simple choice in the moment to be better, and begin training to be the best possible version of me.
I mean moments like not taking that second helping at the dinner table, when I would normally take seconds or even thirds. Moments like using a pocket of free time to actually do push-ups, squats and sit-ups, rather than watching TV. Moments like choosing to work on productive work, rather than play video games. These are small victories in and of themselves, but I’m winning more and more of these kinds of victories with each new day, and each victory builds momentum for continuing victories. I’m happier now, I’m getting healthier, I’m more confident, and far more optimistic than I can remember being for quite some time. And that’s after only a few weeks of using this program!
So now, I’m a true believer. I think the Calibration Method is the perfect tool for anybody that finds themselves in a rut and needs a way out, especially when they begin to fear there may not be a way out! I’ll be using this site to make the Calibration Method available to you, and to share with you what I learn as I continue to implement it, like tips and tricks that can help you speed along even more quickly in shaping yourself to become the best possible version of you.
