The Impossible Life

222. The 6 Principles Running Your Life—Whether You Know It or Not


Listen Later

Principles aren’t suggestions—they’re forces. Just like gravity, they govern your outcomes whether you believe in them or not.

In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett revisit one of the most foundational topics to living a life of purpose, excellence, and spiritual clarity: PRINCIPLES.

They break down six core principles that every man is already navigating—often unknowingly—and show you how to align with them so you can build a life that actually works.

🔥 In This Episode:
  • What principles really are—and why most people confuse them with tactics
  • The difference between knowledge and wisdom
  • Why you need to stop asking “What should I do?” and start asking “What force is at work here?”
  • Why principles govern patterns, not preferences
  • How to diagnose what’s not working in your life by tracing it back to a misaligned principle
🧠 The 6 Universal Principles Covered:
  1. Honor – What you value most will determine what flows into your life
  2. Trust – All relationships and leadership rise and fall on it
  3. Excellence – It always pays, but often with delayed rewards
  4. Focus – Determines direction and fruitfulness
  5. Discipline – The bridge between desire and achievement
  6. Leadership – Influence built through character and consistency
