This sounds like a contradiction! But any successful endeavor begins with a vision, a clear picture of where you are headed. Continuing with our theme of story, and more specifically, your life story: What do you wish people to remember you for when you pass? What is the nature of your life time achievement award? What is your vision of a life well-lived?
Kate's turn:
I have been musing on these questions lately, as my life seems to be one of more input than output at the moment. I’m studying on 3 different fronts, not feeling accomplished in any of them. Hence, my days are not primarily scheduled with service to others, which I’m used to. But, I’m spending time learning and practicing, not yet confident or able to see results.
Thus, at times, I feel aimless, drifting, not really feeling useful or making a difference. But in light of a larger vision, I’m expanding in ways that will pour from me to others when I mature on these various fronts. My values for a life well-lived haven’t changed-just the external flow while I’m learning and expanding. Allowing for this flexibility and expansion is a necessary part of natural endings to aspects of our life, and cultivating new seeds for growth. I gain greater ease with this different face of my life story when I consider the entire vision of how I choose to live, how my values are still guiding me, and in fact, leading me in my life path.
Get Fired Up:
So what is your vision, your endpoint that keeps you on focus for a life well-lived?
What values are leading you forward? Honoring those values everyday adds up to one satisfying life!
