The Fundamism philosophy is based on the principle of F.U.N. and while everyone has their own definition, we leverage an acronym to best describe ours:
- Foundation - In order to achieve maximum fulfillment in life, one must have a comprehensive grasp of their true self. Specifically, how is your personality best defined? How do you communicate? What motivates you? What are your top 3 personality strengths and where are your top areas of opportunity?
- Understanding Others - If you're looking for stronger relationships in your personal or business life, it's critical to have a strong understanding of others. Once you identity and accept your true self, you can begin the process of learning about those that surround you. How do other personalities differ from yours? As a result of those differences, how should your communication style differ based those with whom your talking? Understanding others is heavily dependent on perspective. Consistently being present in conversation, heightened awareness of how others live and being genuine in your interest of those in which you interact will help provide more fruitful relationships in life
- Next Steps - Once you have a solid grasp of your foundation and a better understanding of others, you can start to identify the next steps necessary to create a higher level of consciousness and enlightenment while bringing more F.U.N. to your day
