Moving Towards Your Best Life (20s-30s)

What we’re about

Experimental, group focused on taking intentional action to try to become a better you, the best you you can be, and to increase the probability of attaining your goals and dreams. To that end, let's find similarly minded people and seek to grow and encourage one another on that path.

This involves many things, growth physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually. To that end, I'm envisioning events like going to the gym, leadership opportunities, volunteer opportunities, pondering ways to practice communicating effectively, working on side projects, Bible Studies, doing life together, etc.

I myself am Christian, and will try to direct the group based moreso on Christian principles, but being a Christian is not required for the group. My worldview is that God exists, but primarily works alongside human free will. What this means is, life is not fated, but that there is at least some element of choice/action that we are asked/expected to perform as we go through life. (why would God even give commandments/rules in the first place, if there was no choice in the matter whether we obeyed them or not? Can a fair judgment day exist if all our lives are prescripted/predetermined?)

imo too many people just sort of meander their way through life, and hope/expect things to work out. I do not believe this is the best way to live, in my experience, if you have a goal, can communicate what it is you want, and if you put the effort in, the more likely you are to attain it. 'Shoot for the moon and land among the stars', 'if you aim at nothing you'll hit it everytime'. Let's start taking action and moving towards the lives we envision. Let's seek truth, quality information, honest feedback, and if we find we're wrong, just readjust and keep moving forward.

The group is based in south Tempe / north Chandler, primarily for those in their 20s-30s. This focus is more on growth, skills, learning, education over only socially having fun. I think a love of learning, and skills growth is among the best things/habits a person can form, more skills means more opportunities, higher salaries, more ability to provide utility or help others. It's not easy to keep pushing forward, particularly if no one else is moving. The goal is to try to foster the desire, drive, and self-motivation

The events and frequency of events may vary based on attendance

Matthew 22
35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him: 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”

John 13
34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”
