Curiosity, Perspective, Connection, and Fulfillment From The Way Of The Bonfire With Nate Riggle episodes

  • Life Span, Health Span, Fulfillment Span

    We can only kind of control how long we live. We can try to impact how much of our time is spent in a state of good health.  But an even better goal is to maximize the amount of our lifetime spent in a state of true aliveness and fulfillment.   See comparison of the overlapping categories in the notes below, and enjoy the show.   

    Life Span:  The longest a human can live at a given point in time.  (Very little control over this)

    Life Expectancy:  How long you personally can expect to live based on different factors. (Some control over this)

    Health Span:  How long you can expect to be reasonably healthy within your lifespan.   (More control over this)

    Fulfillment Span:  What percentage of your years on this planet you will spend feeling and being fulfilled.   (Lots of control over this)

    12. A Fresh Quote On Finding Perspective

      My late Father John Riggle or “Big Rig” had his own words of wisdom for reducing the solution to complex problems down to a simple phrase of clarity as a guiding principle.   He called these “Riggleisms”.  He hoped his children would have their own one day.

      Here is one from yours truly.  

      “Stop Eliminating hope, And Start Illuminating Better Possibilities”

      We often get stuck in negative perspectives or thought patterns that don’t help us live a fulfilled life.

      Its easy to justify feeling this way based on our circumstances or the actions of others.  

      This quote and episode are a method and a mindset for moving out of that state of mind and moving forward to a better broader set of perspectives.

    13. Lessons From Everywhere: The Garbage Men
      The inaugural episode of the 3rd series on the Way of the Bonfire.  Lessons from Everywhere.
      This is all about finding new perspectives all around us.
      Where I package up and deliver to you a list of 10 things I have learned from someone, or a group of people, or an experience or an industry etc.
      The overarching theme is 
      Never underestimate what someone or a group of people or something can teach you, no matter what their title or status or age or years of experience happens to be.  Never squander that opportunity hidden in plain sight.
      Today is about my 1 year stint in the Garbage industry around 12 years ago and the unexpected things I learned from the Garbage men.
      The life lessons are presented as parallels to carrying a heavy load with a lot at stake in your life.
      As a quick reference here is the list.   I elaborate on the deeper meaning of each point in the episode.
      1. Aim high in steering.
      2. Get the big picture.
      3. Keep your eyes moving.
      4. Make sure they see you.
      5. Leave yourself an out.
      6. Never take more than you need.
      7. When in doubt, get out and look.
      8. Rock and Roll
      9. Don't skip the Vehicle Condition Report
      10.  Know when to Drop back Ten and Punt
