Day Zero – Pre- Creation Assessment: Find YourPurpose
Day Zero uses the description of the earth before Creation to outline the preparation and evaluation needed before considering a change. This chapter introduces the end-product or Masterpiece as the Big Why and Mission for the entire creative process. The central notion is that the six days of creation were so organized and deliberate that the Creator must have had the end in mind before starting. And so too should we.
Day One – Creation of Light to Dispel Darkness
Day One reviews the separation of light and darkness into Day and Night. The author highlights the importance ofwords and speaking, the elimination ofunnecessary hindrances and the establishment of Core Values to ensure what is created is considered “good.”
Day Two – Creation of the Boundary and Utopia
The separation of the waters in the heaven from that in earth is used to establish the broad principle of a utopia to guide the Vision for the Masterpiece toward a heavenly and divine standard.
Day Three – Creation of Land and Plants
This chapter analyses the third day ofcreation where land, plants and trees emerged; reference to a solid foundation for short, medium and long term goals. And for long term, the author encourages you to look fifteen years and beyond with big goals and aspirations.
Day Four – Creation ofHeavenly Lights and Seasons
Day Four guides you to become clear on the seasons of life (or the specific area on which you are focusing) and to prepare for what will likely occur. The outcome from this chapter is a personal dashboard to track progress on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis.
Day Five – Creation of Fishes and Birds
This chapter considers what is necessary for different levels ofperformance and best results and encourages the reader to consider alternative environments to remove limitations to growth and progress.
Day Six – Creation of Animal Life
This is the culmination of Creation and is about building variety and diversity into your life, with systems, collaborative teams and elements ofcommunity to ensure success of yourMasterpiece. The key points of Day Six is you cannot do it alone and you can have a varied life.
Day 7 – The Time of Rest
In the final chapter, you are inspired to maintain a place of inner peace when the Masterpiece is identified and the environment for its growth established. Living from a place of rest is the principle to undergird your entire lifestyle.
No offense but can a person create garden of Eden in 7 days. It’s difficult for me to understand it. Take care
