A fulfilling life doesn’t happen by accident; it's designed. Yet, the process of designing a life can feel complex and overwhelming. At Pilgrim Points, we believe in simplifying the journey by focusing on the essential building blocks. We've built our entire platform on a clear and powerful structure that provides clarity and direction. This page is dedicated to sharing that structure with you—the simple, sturdy blueprint for everything we do.
We call this our Pillars Process. It's a simple yet profound framework that we use to guide everything we do, and it's a tool we offer to you for your own pilgrimage. This process is built on a sequence of three essential questions that move us from vision to action:
WHAT is the problem and WHAT is our Highest Aim? This defines our deepest desire and desired destination—the specific "place" we are striving to reach.
WHY is this so important? This establishes our guiding principles and clarifies our "purpose"—the unwavering motivation behind our aim.
HOW will we accomplish our aim? This outlines our "practical plan"—the tangible steps we will take to make our vision a reality.
On this page, we will walk you through our own Pillars Process for the Pilgrim Points platform. You will see precisely what we aim to accomplish, why we believe this work is so important, and how we plan to achieve it. As you’ll discover, one of our core "Pillars" for this mission is teaching the Pillars Process itself—a framework so vital, it’s both a part of our plan and the method we use to build it.
Welcome to the heart of Pilgrim Points. Let's begin building.
We all want “the good life”—not just for ourselves, but more deeply and importantly, for our families and friends. This is not a new idea; it has been discussed for millennia. The reason we remember certain ancient teachers is because they showed us how to access human wholeness. Most notably, Jesus’ most central teaching in the Sermon on the Mount was his plea: “on earth as it is in heaven.” From Jesus to the present, great teachers have called us to bring “heaven to earth.” At Pilgrim Points, we call this state Human Wholeness, and we believe it is found when we wander toward love and generosity, producing a lasting happiness that overflows.
To access Human Wholeness, we must find and follow the narrow path—difficult and challenging by design. While the path has always been narrow, it’s now harder than ever to find and follow, not because the work is more difficult, but because the distractions are more potent. The broad road of easy pleasure—paved with Screens, Sugar, Stuff, and other “S” words—has become a superhighway. This isn’t a moral failing; it’s a modern dilemma that hijacks our focus and makes the path to deep contentment incredibly hard to find. As fewer people travel it, the path becomes more overgrown, making the journey feel isolating and daunting.
Our highest aim is simple and absolute: All Access to Human Wholeness.
ALL: We believe a life of progress, purpose, and peace shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for those with enough time or resources to fund it. The good life should be universally available to every pilgrim looking for it and willing to stay the course. We are dedicated to a future where the tools and frameworks for finding the good life are clear, practical, and open to all, allowing every pilgrim to pursue the narrow path that leads to it.
ACCESS: In a world that makes the good life harder than ever to find and follow, we are dedicated to providing tools to see the path clearly and cultivating a community that gives you the strength to walk it.
HUMAN WHOLENESS: We are not here to help you find wholeness someday in a distant heaven; we are here to invite you to participate in the epic movement of bringing it to earth now.
At Pilgrim Points, we exist to help people find and follow the narrow path that leads to human wholeness. We are fellow pilgrims, walking alongside you—helping to maintain the path and make the journey less lonely. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.
Every great journey needs a solid foundation—a set of guiding principles that answer the question, "Why does this matter?" Our "why" at Pilgrim Points is rooted in four fundamental truths we call the Principles of Overflow. These are the beliefs that fuel our mission and shape every tool we create.
Healthy → Happy: We believe that genuine, lasting happiness is not something you chase; it is the natural overflow of a holistically healthy life. By focusing on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, we create the conditions for joy to emerge.
Wonder → Wander: We believe that a curious mind is the catalyst for growth. A spirit of wonder inevitably leads us to wander off the beaten path of our old habits and forge new, transformative ways of being.
Learning → Loving: We believe that true compassion is born from understanding. The more we learn about ourselves, others, and the world, the greater our capacity to love with empathy, wisdom, and grace.
Gratitude → Generosity: We believe that a grateful heart cannot be contained. When we consistently practice gratitude, recognizing the abundance in our lives, the natural overflow is a spirit of generosity that seeks to give back.
These principles form the bedrock of our approach. They are our constant reminder that the path to a better self is also the path to a better world.
A vision and a purpose are essential, but a pilgrimage requires a plan. How do we build this life of wholeness and overflow? Our plan is built upon four core paradigms that serve as our pillars—powerful frameworks designed to bring structure, clarity, and sustainability to your personal journey. Each pillar is a load-bearing support for your growth, and together, they create an integrated system for transformation.
These are the tools we use to build the bridge from where you are to where you want to be.
The Integrative Framework. This pillar provides the map to your inner world, helping you align your deepest Desires (Heart), your conscious Decisions (Head), and your daily Doings (Hands). It is the tool for achieving personal coherence and wholeness.

The Learning Framework. This pillar provides the rhythm for growth, guiding you through a four-stage cycle of Notice (Input), Wonder (Process), Wander (Output), and Iterate (Refine). It is the tool for turning information into transformation.
