The Big Split With Lucas: Our Core Values

The Big Split is based on 4 simple values; Love, Creativity, Wisdom & Bravery and every thing that comes from The Big Split broadcast's these 4 values. I like to think of myself as a lighthouse and The Big Split is the beacon, broadcasting to the world that this is a place of refuge, empowerment and possibility. 

It's easy to identify with the worldwide narrative that money is difficult to get and that you must work all your life for it. It's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of money and therefore the struggles that pursuit causes. The truth is, money is not a big bad scary monster, in-fact it's more like a little puppy dog and what's you embrace the kindness & compassion that is within you and extend that to how you view & relate to money, you'll experience a bond in the same way you would when you care and nurture that little puppy. 

With that in mind, I'd like to share with you the 4 main pillars that The Big Split is built on as it goes much deeper than just a money course on how to save money & free yourself from debt. 

Pillar 1: Love

Simple, natural, easy, all encompassing, all powerful and ever lasting. The Big Split was born from Love. It was created in Love and it will continue to emanate Love long after I am gone.

Money is something we all have in common and it can present us with some challenges; anxiety, overwhelm, shame, scarcity, lack, avoidance, disconnection, survival. Each of these is rooted in fear and while they are important for us to experience and learn how to navigate, we often forget that the antidote to fear is Love. The Big Split is a simple reminder of that truth. 

Pillar 2: Wisdom

As the years have rolled on and my experiences have expanded I recognize that on a long enough timeline, all things will play out and all questions will be answered. My pursuit of experiences, opportunities, growth & knowledge has taught me patience and expanded my intelligence and awareness.

The Big Split is the embodiment of patience, awareness, growth and knowledge that culminates in a place of wisdom and inner knowing. It’s the exact opposite of the “get rich quick” and “once you have money, you will be happy” mindsets that are so common in our society. The Big Split is about what is going on inside you and when you take the time to quiet the noise around you and tune in to you, your wisdom will expand.

Pillar 3: Creativity

For the first few years of life the majority of us have the benefit of experiencing the simplicity & beauty of life. We come from a place of pure Love, we are curious, kind, compassionate, playful, relaxed, joyful and silly. I spent most of my adult life trying to recapture these feelings, thinking that I had lost them. Turns out, they have been with me this entire time and once I started to shed everything that is not Love I began to relax, play, create and blossom.

I spent years avoiding my finances, coming from a place of fear. Everywhere I looked I saw people in similar situations, overwhelmed by stress and shut down. I was not willing to accept the status quo and as I began to ask questions my creativity kicked in, responding with ideas on how to create The Big Split. The Big Split is about engaging your curiosity and creativity and as you do, you become more playful, more joyful and more relaxed thus allowing you to create even more. 

Pillar 4: Bravery

In my experience, we are all just doing the best we can with the information we have been presented. Accept that information without further investigation and you have become part of the status quo. This is an easy path to take in life and it’s why so many people are on it. To seek out new information, ask questions and open yourself up to new experiences is to choose to walk down a path in life that is less traveled. It’s unfamiliar and may even be uncomfortable at times.

The unknown path requires curiosity, bravery, confidence, strength, discipline and focus. As Steve Jobs once said, “Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.” The Big Split was created utilizing these elements of bravery and are passed on to anyone who is willing to stand up and carve their own path. 

Amongst other beautiful qualities, Love, Creativity, Wisdom & Bravery are a part of you. They came pre-installed and while most of us have been drawn away from these qualities through life experiences, society, the dogma of school & work, they are always with you. All you have to do is let go of all that you are not. I encourage you to get in-touch with and embrace who you really are.

And if you're not sure how to do that, reach out to me. I'd love to hear from you!
