decide the endgame
When time is running out and budgets are cut;
If turmoil rises on the horizon.
On the final day, when death has rung your doorbell and you know it won’t be long now.
How will you leave your mark?
—
There are few things that scare me more than the idea that in the final day of my life there will be something I do mindlessly.
Check news, which is no longer relevant.
A social media feed which only distracts me from my final hours in this 3D world and physical body.
Pulling away attention reserved for loved ones, should I be so lucky to have them.
And counting back from that moment, you get a ripple effect. A wider scope.
And after having started with your last moments, the center or core of the circle, you find yourself increasingly intolerant towards any of those things being there the final week.
Month.
Year.
Until you realize that something which is irrelevant in the final moments, probably doesn’t do a great job at making a positive contribution to your life now either.
And vice versa;
That if you would choose it then, you should make it a priority now as well.
Now there are exceptions of course – surviving in this world requires significant financial means, and losing those can get you in severe trouble.
Same goes for your health: If you don’t take care of your body the best you can, this also influences your life in terms of quality and length.
That too is a dance, just like leveraging your time and money.
But still I think coming at it from the perspective of you literal, personal endgame, how you want to spend the final day, gives you a better perspective than if you mindlessly react to everything on your path.
Knowing what ultimately matters and what doesn’t, makes the choice a better informed one.
But all this, is still what I would call our human, endgame.
If you have professional goals, then that is a separate topic to think about.
What is your professional endgame?
First start with after you die – is there a part that you want to live on?
If so, then how can it be preserved?
Do you need to make arrangements for it to be managed by someone else?
And if so what is needed to give it the right financial means or organizational or legal structure?
Then comes the final decade of your working life, which can be the actual final decade of your life, or maybe you want to retire and hand over the ownership of your legacy earlier.
Like a retirement.
But either way, how would you like your final working years to look like?
Are you a Picasso working until late in life?
And if so – then what is the work that is uniquely you?
You’re at Masterlevel now.
What is it, you have mastered?
The skills you see yourself growing into, and getting better at with age, should already have an important role in your life today.
In particular if it is an area where you still want to grow a lot in, and hope to master your craft at a level that is much higher than what you have today.
This vision for the final working years of your life, so that’s before you leave your legacy one way or another, should be KNOWN, to you.
You should have an understanding of what your endgame is.
definition of endgame Merriam-Webster:
the stage of a chess game after major reduction of forces
also : the final stage of some action or process
Having enough money to retire and do the things you didn’t have time for during your working life, is how we are taught to think about retirement.
But if you are an artist, a writer, a scientist, a philanthropist or anyone who has spent their life working on their vision;
You need something else.
A longterm plan about how your work will be passed on.
And what that means for today.
You need to start working on your endgame.

THE ROCK STAR
.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.
THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.
To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com
Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/
Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.
It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.
If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:
1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.
2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?
3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.
Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.
I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.
It is up for you to take it.
