The Road Less Travelled - a book I re-read every year, Folks, I recommend developing the habit of reading a most influential book by M. Scott Peck. I first read it when it was first published in 1978 and revisited it during the pandemic and I have now joined many of the followers that read it every year. We are all in need of frequent reminders of the simple but difficult-to-act-upon message. The message and habits to be developed include 1. The foundation of discipline is essential for personal growth and well-being. 2. Engaging in the practice of loving your neighbor as you love yourself. We can create a better world if we love, respect, and value each other. 3. Engaging in practicing grace. Peck discusses grace as surrendering control and accepting life's unpredictability, acting on that can lead to greater self-awareness and spiritual growth. It includes behavior such as being kind, attentive, and grateful. I see it as any behavior that benefits the culture (prosocial behavior). As John Lennon would say, "Imagine all the people living life in peace." In his book, Peck encouraged us to embark on a journey of personal growth, seeking a more fulfilling and authentic life. As Lennon told us, "No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world, YOU!" Now that there is a bad storm out there, find the time to read it and make the message a personal habit! Love and Peace, Francisco.

Frankl’s concept of self-transcendence both elevates and enriches one’s meaning in life. There are at least three ways to experience self-transcendence and become a fully functioning human being: (1)   Serve someone or something greater than oneself, (2)   Totally immersed in whatever we are doing and losing a sense of time and space. (3)   Rise about setbacks, hardships and limitations in striving towards an ideal or life goal. The last point is most important. Paradoxically, we need to strive and overcome our failures, obstacles and limitations in order to grow. If we are happy to stay in our comfort zone, content with our weaknesses and limitations, we will live and die as an oversized child with arrested development. That’s why an important part of living a deeply fulfilling life is to transcend our present limitations by practicing the above three basic steps. The magic of living fully, growing and becoming stems from purposeful stiving towards some future meaning to fulfill (https://lnkd.in/e42MnHp ).   Learn how to transform your life through self-transcendence https://lnkd.in/gdxRGMn4 International Network on Personal Meaning; Melody Miu; Shua Kim

Reflecting on our journeys often reveals a mix of paths taken and those consciously left behind. In my latest blog, I explore the pivotal choices between burning bridges to focus fully on our forward path and preserving those that anchor and guide us back to our roots. Are you nurturing the right connections while freeing yourself from those that hold you back? Join the conversation and consider which bridges in your life deserve to be cherished and which might need letting go. 🔗 Consider your bridges: https://wix.to/q3tpbPS #newblogpost #selfcare #lifetransitions #personalgrowth #mentalwellness #burningbridges

Want to know the importance of time to your life? Read this!

We appreciate that the goal of this site is to promote professional relationships and urge creative business thoughts, perhaps cooperation… howeve, in this aggressive world that focus is mostly on wealth creation; but should that be the ultimate goal of one’s existence… as we see from war or even disasters “may god protect you all”, this is all would be rendered useless “just assume you can’t escape to a second home and savings in a foreign bank account” especially if it manages to hurt you or whome you love. Seeing what we see today, it allows us to rethink our priorities in life, is anything worth your health, your happiness, having good people in your life, living in a safe place, having your freedom, having sustenance without malice inflected on you… etc… just the simplest things we take for granted. Even if this conflict and carnage doesn’t concern you, it will allow you to have empathy with others which is an important skill in both professional “with clients or colleagues” or personal lives. Just trying to relate and/or understand makes the effort a success as some experiences are hard to comprehend. We are sorry to invade your space with these emotions, feelings and political stances, but we hope that even the pain will allow us all to grow as human beings and think deeper about our objectives in life… what legacy do we hope to achieve as for all, time will run out and just living is not enough, do you want to pass something good along to someone else even if it’s an act of kindness to be remembered by?

Certainly! Reflecting on our entire life at once can be overwhelming. Instead, let's break it down into smaller moments, like a mosaic of experiences. Imagine life as a vast library, each book representing a chapter. Some chapters are thrilling adventures, while others are quiet reflections. We flip through pages of joy, sorrow, love, and growth. Here are a few thoughts for all to explore. The beginnings or the opening lines—the first breath, the touch of a parent's hand. Life unfolds like a novel, full of promise. We have the Crossroads where the plot thickens. Choices emerge—forks in the road. Education, career, relationships—they shape our narrative. We are encounter Love and Loss. The heartache of goodbyes, the warmth of embraces. Love stories etched in memory, even when the characters change. Then the Struggles creep in with rising tension—the battles we fight within and against the world. Each obstacle adds depth to our character. Epiphanies are sure to burst out in our lives. Those "aha" moments—the sudden clarity that rearranges our understanding. Like finding a missing puzzle piece. The passage of time—the golden hues of dawn and dusk, the sunrises and sunsets. Each day a fresh canvas for our stories. Winding up, we wrap up with legacy.The final chapters—the echoes we leave behind. Not just in grand gestures, but in small kindnesses and shared laughter. Remember, life isn't a linear narrative; it's a kaleidoscope of emotions, dreams, and connections. So, let's savor each chapter, knowing that the best stories often unfold in the ordinary moments. 📖 I hope this helps someone👁️

Feeling a little lost? Read this letter 👇 Hunter S. Thompson, the famous journalist and author wrote this letter to his friend Hume Logan when he seeked his advice on life. _ Sharing excerpts from the letter. " The answer— and, in a sense, the tragedy of life— is that we seek to understand the goal and not the man. We set up a goal which demands of us certain things: and we do these things. We adjust to the demands of a concept which CANNOT be valid. When you were young, let us say that you wanted to be a fireman. I feel reasonably safe in saying that you no longer want to be a fireman. Why? Because your perspective has changed. It’s not the fireman who has changed, but you. Every man is the sum total of his reactions to experience. As your experiences differ and multiply, you become a different man, and hence your perspective changes. This goes on and on. Every reaction is a learning process; every significant experience alters your perspective. " " As I see it then, the formula runs something like this: a man must choose a path which will let his ABILITIES function at maximum efficiency toward the gratification of his DESIRES. In doing this, he is fulfilling a need (giving himself identity by functioning in a set pattern toward a set goal), he avoids frustrating his potential (choosing a path which puts no limit on his self-development), and he avoids the terror of seeing his goal wilt or lose its charm as he draws closer to it (rather than bending himself to meet the demands of that which he seeks, he has bent his goal to conform to his own abilities and desires). In short, he has not dedicated his life to reaching a pre-defined goal, but he has rather chosen a way of life he KNOWS he will enjoy. The goal is absolutely secondary: it is the functioning toward the goal which is important. And it seems almost ridiculous to say that a man MUST function in a pattern of his own choosing; for to let another man define your own goals is to give up one of the most meaningful aspects of life— the definitive act of will which makes a man an individual.
