What Does it Mean to Live Above the Line?
At any given moment, you are either aligned or misaligned with who you are. When you’re aligned, life feels good—you experience contentment, energy, and fulfillment. But when misaligned, it brings undesired feeling such as frustration, regret, resentment, or a lingering sense that something is missing.
‘The Line’ represents the divide between alignment and misalignment. Naturally, you want to be above the line—where life flows effortlessly. Yet too often, we find ourselves stuck below it, disconnected from our passion, purpose, and authentic selves. It can feel as if alignment is out of reach, an uphill climb that’s impossible to make.
We believe that can change. Our mission is to help people LIVE ABOVE THE LINE—giving you the clarity and power to align with your mindset. Alignment happens when you embrace your true nature rather than resist it.
Alignment happens when you embrace your true nature rather than resist it.
Live Above the Line is both a reminder and an aspiration.
While perfect alignment may not always be possible in this human experience, Live Above the Line serves as a powerful reminder that we hold far more power and control over our path than we often realize. There are tools available here to help you realign when misaligned and rise above perceived limitations—you don’t have to stay stuck.
It’s also an aspiration—a vision of your future self. Not one shaped by comparison, but one defined by who you truly are and who you strive to become. A self that upholds mindset principles, pursues what motivates you, moves with purpose to benefit others, and feels fulfilled.
You have more power than you think. Reclaim it. Live Above the Line.
The Blueprint Within
Within the acorn lies a blueprint patiently guiding its transformation into a majestic oak tree. Though its journey is shaped by external conditions like sunlight, water, and soil, it is fundamentally driven by its innate design and destined to become what it was always meant to be.
We are not so different. We begin as a single cell—a seed—carrying the blueprint of who we are meant to become. From that seed, we’ve grown and faced challenges, yet within us remains an inherent passion and purpose, waiting to be uncovered, nurtured, and realized.
The Secret to Satisfaction & Fulfillment
There’s a deeper reason why you want to understand yourself—you long to fully be yourself.
At your very core, you likely already know that aligning with who you truly are is the key to lasting satisfaction and fulfillment. When you live in alignment, you feel energized, at peace, and engaged. But when you’re misaligned, it shows up in frustration, insecurity, burnout, disengagement, or the lingering sense that something is missing. Misalignment can make even the most successful life feel empty.
The solution is simple: to align with who you are—which includes aligning with your passion and purpose. But the reality is it’s difficult to Be Thyself when you don’t Know Thyself.
If you don’t know your passion and purpose, it’s not your fault. You’ve likely been led to believe that finding them is difficult—maybe even impossible. Passion and purpose can seem like distant, mysterious concepts that only a few fortunate souls ever uncover. But that’s simply not true.
You can find your passion and purpose—once and for all. The 25 Mindsets will help you do this in minutes, not years. The process isn’t complicated—it’s fast, fascinating, and even fun.

Passion is what you do.
Purpose is why you do it.
Who Am I?
You can understand yourself by using the same technique you use to understand anything everything else in the world – by using contrast, opposites, or polarities.
When you say coffee is HOT, you imply it is not cold. When you say your friend is so NICE, you imply he is not mean. It’s so elementary we take it for granted. But you can use this concept to help you understand yourself—by examining three mutually exclusive polarities that exist within you. Specially, the three polarities define:
-
How you expect people to behave (Principle), and not behave (Trigger).
-
What you are motivated to do (Passion), and not do (Void).
-
Why you do what you do (Purpose), and the consequence if you do not (Hurt).
You need not spend days, years, or a lifetime to understand who you are.
You are not a random assortment of traits and characteristics. On the contrary, every aspect of your being is masterfully and purposefully interconnected.
