Daily Question, October 10

What life-lessons have I learned lately?

  • Don Jones

    To drop the need for a purpose. The “I” has always felt the need for a purpose. The mantra as a business executive for around 30 years was always “purpose, scope and objectives”. The need for a purpose is gone and that is a huge relief. The priority now is just to be open and available to what is – right here, right now and to be 100% involved with all of it. Ppfftt… shame it took 60 plus years to work that out, but hey, better late than never.

      I retired 2 years ago and, at 61, have been battling with this ‘having a purpose’. It’s hard to shake but your reflection is very helpful and good to read.

    Some life lessons I learned early on as a child and teenager, which have continued to serve me well right up to the present moment. Other life lessons, or so it seems, I’ve needed to learn over and over again. They’re the same old issues or challenges, just wrapped in different shapes and sizes that easily catch me “out to lunch!”

    • Mica

      Interesting, Kevin – I’ll ponder that, regarding my own life 🙂

  • Christine

    That a good night’s sleep is very important to me. I do a lot for it too. No alcohol, healthy food, no more TV screens in the evening, and no news reports in the evening either. Lying awake when you are in mourning is very bad and painful. I realy want to avoid that. In the morning, I wake up fit and grateful, and I have the feeling that I can handle anything.
