Summary
This video introduces the “GREAT” framework (Everyday Edge guide) for defining what a great life looks like and how to pursue it. The speaker explains that Great stands for growth goals, gratitude, and especially relationships, emphasizing the importance of the relationship with yourself first, then others, and finally situations and “stuff” such as money, food, exercise, and drugs or alcohol, in a judgment-free way. They add that E focuses on energy, noting that energy is more critical than time because it determines how you show up to meet growth goals. The Loom closes with A for aspiration and T for optimizing the time available, and it says the next step will be defining great clarity.
The GREAT Framework Overview
1. The GREAT framework 0:01
Results OS has two engines.
This video focuses on the first engine: GREAT.
GREAT is about answering:
What do you want?
What do you want out of your life?
The goal is to unpack what “great” means and how it helps define your results.
2. Understand G: Growth goals and gratitude 0:35
The G in GREAT stands for growth goals.
It is also tied to gratitude.
The idea is that growth should be connected to appreciation for what you already have.
This section sets the foundation for defining what you want to grow toward.
3. Understand R: Relationships with self, others, and situations/stuff 0:44
The R in GREAT stands for relationships.
These relationships include:
Your relationship with yourself
Your relationship with others
Your relationship with situations or stuff
“Stuff” can mean anything you relate to, such as:
Money
Food
Exercise
Drugs
Alcohol
The emphasis is on checking in with your relationship to yourself first, then others, then the things and situations in your life.
This is framed as a judgment-free zone.
4. Understand E: Energy is the real asset 1:51
The E in GREAT stands for energy.
The message is that energy matters more than time.
Time is not the most critical asset; how you show up is.
You may show up with:
High energy
Low energy
Something in between
The purpose of this part of the framework is to help you create the right energy to:
Reach your growth goals
Improve your relationships
Support the way you handle situations and stuff
5. Understand A: Aspiration and life direction 2:19
The A in GREAT stands for aspiration.
This is about asking:
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What do you aspire to do?
At the end of your life, how will you know you had a great life?
The video notes that aspirations often change across life stages.
The point is that your long-term vision is not fixed forever; it evolves.
6. Understand T: Time optimization for your goals 3:02
The T in GREAT stands for time.
This is about how to optimize the time you have available.
Time is used to support the other parts of GREAT:
Hitting growth goals
Building relationships
Creating the energy needed to follow through
The framework is designed to help you use time intentionally in service of your goals.
7. Close: GREAT is the starting point for clarity 3:19
The video ends by reinforcing that the focus is on helping you hit your growth goals.
The next step is to start with GREAT and define it with clarity.
This is an introduction to the framework before going deeper into each part.
