In my last Well-Being post I cited these words from mentor, Alan Hammond:
“(As LIFE) Stage by (LIFE) stage passes away. In its place emerges the opportunity for a fuller experience of our Selves, and a greater opportunity to contribute (into life!)
What does it mean to have a fuller experience of ourselves and a greater opportunity to contribute into life?
Personally, here are my thoughts:
A fuller experience of myself relates to knowing in a deeper way the life part I play with others. The life part I play with you.
It takes keeping my heart—emotions in a state of appreciation.
It takes the discipline of my mind to keep my heart fixed in this way recognizing when reactive attitudes arise and choosing what it takes to keep my heart clear of entangling emotions.
It takes conscious care for my physical body for it to be in position to participate in my world actively physically.
This all relates to having a fuller experience by actually being able contribute into life in a greater way.
What does it mean to have a fuller experience of ourselves and a greater opportunity to contribute into life?
If this question moves you to consider it for yourself, I invite and encourage you to participate in my upcoming opening session of the Conscious Healthy Aging—Well-Being Circle on Thursday September 21st at 7:30 PM EST.
This will be an opening time where we can consider the matters that bring a greater state of well-being for ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially, playing our part in extending a greater well-being influence into the world.
Mark your calendar for the 21st to participate in a new season of life together.
For Our Greater Well-Being,
Dr. Steve
