THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. Ultimately, the most important thing in life is subjective and deeply personal. It is our lifeblood. Lifeblood is the source of strength and vitality flowing from an accurate understanding of reality and who we are concurrent with passionate clarity and mindful practice of our signature strengths toward our highest values, priorities, and vision for living them.

  2. Lifeblood, the essence that courses through our veins, is the heartbeat of our existence. It’s the fusion of self-awareness and passionate purpose, the very core of our being. Understanding reality and embracing one’s identity fuel this lifeblood. It thrives when nourished by clarity and mindful practice of our unique signature strengths. Like a river flowing towards its destination, lifeblood guides us toward our highest values and priorities. It’s the vitality that fuels our journey, a force that resonates with personal truth and generates the energy and wisdom to overcome unimaginable grief. To honor this lifeblood is to live authentically, with purpose and vision, painting the canvas of our existence with the hues of fulfillment and meaning.
