NARRATIVE SABBATICALS

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. From the time we are born to the time we die, we develop a personal narrative of the world and our life journey. We inherit the initial narrative and culture of our upbringing. This narrative evolves per the Frequency, Intensity, and Time (FIT) we invest to examine our understanding. Human understanding evolves globally at the same time. Access to this global understanding is now instantly available at the push of a button via the web and verifiable via personal experimentation. However, due to life’s challenging road of trials with personal health, work, family, and community, few people find the time to update their narrative.

  2. Narrative sabbaticals are life-changing and proven paths to take a concentrated break from the routines of life to examine your life and update your worldview. Deepending on your life situation, these sabbaticals can last from a few days to a few years. They have been life-changing for me and many others. They will be for you as well if you dive deep with genuine curiosity.
