Today we explore the wise words by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Life is a journey, not a destination." We talk about the importance of living FROM our values instead of living FOR our goals. We look at the relationship between responsibility and meaning and how when we live from our values and not for our goals, we can create a more meaningful and intentional life. Through the power of choice we are called to create, not wait on, the life we want. We explore how our pain and adversity are catalysts for our growth and how living from our values helps us navigate our obstacles with more flexibility and optimism. Learning to live from our values in the present and appreciating the journey is key. We must use our values as a compass. What action can you take to become more aligned with your values today? We look at the below video https://youtu.be/T-lRbuy4XtA called Values Vs Goals by Dr Russ Harris to understand the difference between a goals focused life and a values focused life. I share about an exercise I did when in a bereavement group after my brother died using green and blue clay (I said red by mistake once)🤔🙃 but it was green and blue, and ended up being a symbol to me of my world and how much my world was drastically changed forever. My value of resiliency stems from the experience of losing my brother so young and continues to help me navigate every obstacle I face to this day. Take a listen and remember, be present, be grateful and be well!
