Kender85, (are you by any chance a Dragonlance fan?)
What can one man do?
I've spent the past year and a half trying to 'bring it all together' as you say. To find the ideal set of habits and beliefs. To transcend the prison of the ego. We choose our habits and beliefs, and then these habits and beliefs make us who we are... they determine our personal power, and ultimately our level happiness.
If we DON'T choose them, society or our peers will implant their own versions inside us that suit them.
But where to begin? "If I could have anything from my body, mind, and consciousness... what would I ask for?"
As Johann Fichte pointed out in his Vocation of Man,
The Three steps toward integrity:
1. Doubt
2. Knowledge
3. Faith
0. What do you seek?
1. Question all of your habits and beliefs that are suboptimal.
2. Research and test which habits and beliefs that serve you better.
3. Rip out the old, Implant the new. Create a system for living, of being. A code of beliefs by which to live. A regimen of habits by which to maintain peak internal fitness.
See... all this stuff is maintenence. People RARELY consider the maintenance. They are too busy with Work and Play--the External Manifestation of their personal power. But Internal Fitness IS important, because it determines the quality of our experience in the external world! You ask what habits have an effect in the market place? They all do!
Hey everybody, It's CHRISTMAS TIME at the Learning Strategies Board! 
A sample wishlist:
Body - If I could have anything from my body, what would I ask for?
1. To sustain a level of Peak, Constant energy in all waking hours
2. To require 4 to 6 hours sleep
3. To appear youthful and good-looking
4. To never get sick again
5. To maintain perfect functionality of all parts
6. To live long
Mind - If I could have anything from my mind, what would I ask for?
1. To read as efficiently as possible in regard to least time spent and most amount recalled
2. To listen attentively and remember
3. To write fluidly with simplicity and insight
4. To speak fluidly with enthusiasm and command
5. To command vast stores of general and specialized knowledge
6. To think as analytically as possible, when necessary
7. To intuit as creatively as possible, always
8. To feel sincere emotion
Spirit - If I could have anything from my spirit, what would I ask for?
1. To live in a permanent state of Flow 24/7
this includes:
2. To feel unselfconscious assurance
3. To savor all experience as it happens
4. To be free of limitation and fear
5. To be embrace all possibilities
6. To desire to stretch all aspects of my being through work
7. To desire to share good things with others through love
8. To avoid detrimental habits
9. To treat life as a sincere game
10. To have an underlying purpose in my life
11. To be as happy as I can be in this life
With this in mind, your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to learn the skills, find the knowledge, attain the materials, design the regimen to fulfill this, and then run it all on automatic as you simultaneously partake in the widening drama of the times!!!
Make a difference!
