Equanimity Reflects Tranquility - 2021

Buffalo River, ID

Summary:

To Experience Tranquility and Equanimity As a Way of Life…is to Live

When it comes to time, our choices and perceptions, there are three things that differentiates us as individuals:

• How we choose to use the precious time of our lives.
• How those choices reflect the value we attribute to how we use our time.
• How we perceive the speed at which time passes.

As your choices and perceptions are uniquely yours, you can change them. 

Your perception of time and how you experience your life are related to the degree that you have a sense of tranquility and equanimity.

This may not come easily, especially for great achievers. It may require a personal discipline of deliberately practicing your sense of tranquility and equanimity. The goal is to live peacefully in harmony within yourself.

Some things to consider:

• Focus and favor your allocation of time on that which you know is essential to accomplish.

Fulfill Your Needs and Desires

It is commonly familiar that it is in those quiet moments when our mind is free to wander, that we are the most creative. This simple discipline can be beneficial as you plan your end of career. 

That is when you can create a window of opportunity for creating your roadmap prior to embarking on the next great phase of your life. This is the guide that will take you in the direction that you want your life to go…with confidence.

Abundantly Grateful

USA - 2006

Gratitude, the Source of Thankfulness

I am confident that each of us has reasons to be grateful. 

Most importantly, I know that many of our blessings are divinely ordained. Each of us, in our own way, can express that very special form of gratitude. 

Beyond the miracle of life itself, there are persons that each of us can think of that warm our hearts and cause us to smile. We have been graced by their benevolence. We think kindly of them. 

Sometimes, we are able to thank them personally and express our heartfelt gratitude. To do so brings joy to those who have given of themselves for our benefit, as well as satisfaction to ourselves.

We know them as family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Then there are those we do not know, but they know who we are. Sometimes they manifest their goodwill toward us even as we are unaware.

Each has their unique version of goodwill that benefits each of us…and vice versa.

Common Misconceptions About Vitamin D and its Sources.

Presently there is increasing, legitimate concerns about viral infections and the importance of optimizing your immune system. Because vitamin D plays an important role in supporting your immune system, it is critical that you have a good understanding of this topic.

On Living Where the Location Helps Create Your Moment

You have been thinking lately about your vision for life after your end of career. It is a “big deal” and there is a lot to think about. The end of your planned career Transition may occur in the near future or perhaps years later…but you know that for you, as for all of us, it will happen.

Besides the personal impact on you and your career, it will affect your family, friends, colleagues and co-workers.

Perhaps you already have some questions and are seeking answers.

Among the many questions that abound, there are two very different ones that you will need to answer in order to have a successful Transition. They are:

• Personal - How do I want to live?
• Practical - Where do I want to live?

The Questions are Common, Yet Personal

I and many others I have helped have faced the same questions…and much more.
