Doing This Life


How do we do life? I think - no, I'm convinced - that we'd each do better achieving our own glorious success by whatever measure we wish to use if we had a plan or maybe a toolbox with those strategies therein to enable us to get through life, easily and effortlessly, with the most grace and to enjoy the most juice. Assuming that we are well along in life, perhaps into our thirties, by the time we discover this particularly scintillating truth, how do we recover?


How do we overcome being a regular snot around our Aunt Martha? How do we act like a grown up when Dad gets a wee bit drunk? How do we rein in that sarcasm whenever the subject of our boss comes up? How do we refrain from earnestly offering our advice on so many subjects? How can we get through our drama, vindictiveness, revenge, anxiety, grief and so forth?


(A brief aside here. There is no new thing under the sun. Most of this formidable stuff comes to us from the weekend-long seminar called Redefining Health at the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD.)


So, what are these basics? Where do we start? So much to cover. . .
