Threshold Guide II: Vision & Execution in one’s Life

A Creative-Entrepreneurial Journal for Threshold Lives (an example to build on and to be creative with). At first we don't see it, but our entire life is a reflection of our inner landscape. It is a landscape, but it can also be seen as a garden. To tend and mend the garden, it becomes profitable. In other words, it pays of to look at our life not as foreign, where we are victims, but as something we have total control over, when we see in it our own, resolved or unresolved, weaknesses or strengths, ambitions or lack thereof.

Step 1. Vision-Building (The Archetype of Place & Form)

Questions to sketch, dream, write into:

• Where would I thrive if nothing held me back? (describe house, landscape, room, kitchen, desk)
• What does my daily rhythm look like there? (morning gesture, how I cook, how I walk) How does this new space change my self-image?
• What are the signs that I am “at home” in this place? (list concrete sensory details: smell, light, sounds, tools

> Tip: Don’t only describe the outer form. Write: “In this kitchen xxx is…” → then finish the sentence in present tense. Build identity through image.

Step 2. Creative Axes (The Work Itself)

Map the different streams your work can take (examples):

1. Core Output — e.g. writing, video, walks translated into words.

2. Outreach — who are the audiences? (New York? Mothers? Threshold seekers? Medical renewal circles?)

3. Revenue / Livelihood — how does the work feed life? (subscriptions, retreats, patrons, small paid offerings)

4. Protected Sanctuary — what must remain untouched, private, sacred? (journals, inner circle, unpublished pieces) Write each axis on its own page and sketch 2–3 concrete next actions under it.

Step 3. Audience Envisioning (Projection Without Compromise)

• Exercise (example): Close eyes, imagine reading your words aloud to: a circle of New Yorkers, a parent in a quiet home, a fellow threshold soul abroad.
• Ask: what awakens in them? what changes in me when I imagine them?
• Then: write 5 sentences addressed directly to each audience. That becomes seed content.

Step 4. Execution Tracker (Entrepreneurial Discipline)

Choose 3 non-negotiables each week (small, concrete).

• Example: Write 500 words, Post 1 reflection, Take 2 walks with notebook.
• Track in a journal: check off each, note insights, celebrate small wins.
• Monthly: review → adjust next month’s 3 non-negotiables.

Step 5. Continuity + Rhythm (Form-Building Muscle)

Anchor the work with a signature ritual (light candle before writing, walk before posting). Use this ritual to remind yourself: I am not my environment’s projection. I am building my own Form. Over time, the ritual becomes a continuity thread that resists disruption.

Step 6. Identity Upgrade (Recasting Self-Image)

Write a short manifesto: “I am xxx in the new house…” → 10 lines describing gestures, tone, posture, relations. Re-read it weekly. Adjust as your becoming and coming into your new life shifts. This counteracts the old environment’s projections and gives the etheric body new “walls” to grow inside.

Step 7. Entrepreneurial-Arts Blend (The Gesture of Style)

Treat life like an artistic start-up:

• Prototype: test ideas in small forms (tweet, short essay, a 10-minute talk).
• Feedback: watch resonance, not numbers.
• Iterate: refine tone, rhythm, imagery.
• Scale: expand what resonates most. The artistic side ensures vitality, beauty, truth. The entrepreneurial side ensures continuity, audience, sustainability.

Many a times our lives are a reflection of who we are. Our outer landscape is our inner landscape, its true reflection. This way we can learn to see ourselves –in this landscape– and change ourselves, when we see something's off. We believe to be victim of some circumstances, but these circumstances are "us". By recognizing it, we can see that the source of these circumstances lies actually within. Everything that comes towards us, is, when recognized, ourselves, a part of ourselves that needs our attention. It may be a tiny lack of will, or attention, an unhealthy habit that needs to be stilled, while by seeing it that way, order and control can come into our lives, with true and greater satisfaction.

This “guide” is not a philosophy but a working book: vision sketches + concrete tracking + identity exercises.
