Living the Life of a Higher Order of Being

There was a time in my life when I was so consumed with the idea of winning in life. This was right after I graduated from college and was so eager to get out into the market place and unleash the real me. I’m glad to say that this period of my life was short-lived because I’m not sure what kind of stresses I would have been grappling with by this time of my life. My change of perspective came when I decided that there was more to life than just winning or losing in the game of life. The purpose of life is for us to richly experience it with ever-increasing depth. My goal now is to have a sweeter, more satisfying and fuller experience of life from one day to the next. How do you develop such a perspective on life? Instead of asking yourself whether you won or lost, ask yourself whether you are growing. Are you growing? How have you changed in the last month? Has it been for better or worse? Are you stretching yourself? Your focus should be on your personal potential. Measure yourself against what you could do, not what other people have done or are doing? Live a deeper life.
