To Live Without Regret
To live without guilt is to live without mistakes.
To live without mistakes is to live without risk.
And to live without risk ultimately turns living into lifelessness.
Living Healthily vs. Living Wisely
“We are often far more focused on who we are, when we would be wiser to focus on what we most deeply and enduringly desire.”
— Hank Robb
A Life Beyond Just Feeling Good
One unintended consequence of the prevailing disease or mental disorder model is that life slowly becomes a competition over who feels the best, the happiest, the most confident, or the least distressed.
But if feeling good were the ultimate purpose of living, we would expect our final tributes and epitaphs to celebrate people mainly for how good they felt about themselves.
We know that’s rarely the case.
Most obituaries are not about who felt the happiest.
They are about what people did.
How they loved.
What they built.
Who they helped.
What they stood for.
