OKR 3 – Outcome Summary: This personal OKR aims to prepare me physically, mentally, and spiritually for the future to come. In training for each of these aspects, I aim to prepare myself for future trials and areas of uncertainty. Acknowledging that obstacles are inevitable, if I have the right headspace when I encounter these obstacles, it should assist me in overcoming them. This will also prepare me to take on more obstacles over time. This OKR encompasses all three of my core values. This includes faith by taking me on a spiritual journey of self-discovery in the hopes that I may realize a level of understanding that will help to define my principles, desires, and purpose in life. Humility is practiced by requiring discipline and commitment for months leading up to the trip in order to complete it. Beauty is realized by witnessing all the intricate facets that make up creation during the trek and in the lead up to the trek.
