In an interview the authors of What’s Your Story? shared a favorite question of theirs, What does a life well lived look like to you?
As I reflected on what that meant to me I thought that the next question should be, Are you living that life now? Followed perhaps for some by, If not, why not?
No matter our personal, professional or humanitarian aspirations I believe that regret proofing our life is key to a life well lived. At the end of the day, or a life, I believe that it is actually foundational to such a life.
Giving priority to the things that are important to us and keeping our relationships current are ways to do that. During this time of an ongoing global pandemic and unprecedented social and political chaos around the world perhaps, in fact, nothing is more important to a life well lived, in the moment.
Letting go of old wounds, making amends when necessary and forgiving ourselves are also key elements. The words “I forgive my former self for not knowing what I know now” remind me that we are in Earth School to learn and grow, and give me comfort in my continuing studies.
Are you living your good life now?
