Capture
the essence of your life
"...so often we look at a calendar of days as merely a
symbol of the passage of time. We forget why we are on
this earth."
~ Lynn V.

I did a neat exercise a few weeks ago that I found
quite enlightening. It was a simplified approach to
some of the tools offered in one of our popular e-
books, 'Write Your Life.'
When we summarize the unfolding of our lives, we gain
valuable insights into our life themes, direction and
purpose. This can offer us greater meaning which in
turn boosts personal clarity, self confidence and
results.
What I did was write my life in:
- one word,
- one phrase,
- one sentence,
- one paragraph and
- on one page.
Clearly, each time I do this exercise, I may come up
with different perspectives but this simply reflects
the richness of who we are. Every foray into our
experience deepens our self knowledge and appreciation.
Try it and let me know if you get insights. It is so
powerful have clarity and to own who we are. When we
reflect on our lives from a higher and longer term
perspective, we are better able to identify what is
important and meaningful to us. This dignifies life
events and helps us find a sense of direction and
purpose.
Enjoy who you are.
"...the most profound need of the modern (is) to render
one's journey meaningful."
