You are here.  Your primary challenge is to live your life. Go!

For being more aware, and for learning.
For appreciating more, and for loving.
For achieving more, and for leading.
...

How bizarre does that sound? And yet, we bring more order to being a football player, a chef, or an architect than we do to living our lives.

CLiCs, Core Life Concepts, are for bringing order to what we need to know to live our lives. Every part of our lives.

Benefits

1 ::: A Place for Every Idea, and Every Idea in its Place

Instead of a massive jumble of ideas, whether in alphabetical order, or what, CLiCs puts ideas in order. Just as the rainbow informs us of a sensible order to colors, ROY G BIV, or Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and time requires that we act in order from Past, Present, to the Future. So CLiCs presents a new order. An order that is consistent with reality, thus providing ... a place for every idea. And then we need to put every idea in its place. (((Organized Ideas and Insights)

We keep all of our other valuables in order: food, clothing, money, possessions,
Order brings more value: knowledge, insight, choices


2 ::: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

A picture provides context. At a glance, we can grasp some of the essence of what is going on. A picture provides insight in multiple dimensions. With a picture, we can better see how things fit and work together.

Gain - clarity in communication, effectiveness, time.
Pain - people get confused, lost in the weeds, miss the point with too many words


3 ::: Life Demands Skill and Wisdom

"I'm out of bed and dressed. What more do you want?" So reads bumper stickers and t-shirts that I've seen.

Whether with football or with food, fundamentals are essential. You can't just fake it. Life is the same way! But what are the fundamentals for living an effective life? The order of ideas that CLiCs present provides insight into this critical task. CLiCs do not pretend to capture all the wisdom we need. However, it seeks to identify "the blanks". It's each of our jobs to "fill them in".
