My next post is an excerpt found in the sacred space column (newspaper article) and was really influenced by it. This is titled 'Looking Back' by John B Izzo.
A diverse group of senior citizens offered insights that came down to these five points:
1.Be true to yourself by living with intention. Know your heart's desire and seek it.
2.Live with no regrets. Regrets are feared more than death. So mend fences, make peace. Take chances, pursue those dreams, and accept failure as well. Rather than be crushed by failure, learn from it.
3.Become Love. Love is not an emotion but a choice; a way of being that involves seeing ourselves and others with kindness and compassion. That love creates the opportunities to follow your bliss, heal wounds in yourself and others, and to find peace despite challenges and hardships.
4.Live in the moment.Right here,right.
5.Give more than you take. Find yourself and then lose yourself.Once your identify your heart's desire and live your life pursuing it, the chance of accumulating any regrets is reduced.
Leave the campsite better than you found it, as one wise elder put it.
Things are easier said than done.Somewhat similar to this earlier post.
