A guide for the remainder of your life
Acceptance of the natural cadence of our abilities allows the shifting of attention to higher spiritual and life priorities.
- Jump: Let go when you have reached your peak accomplishment, perhaps before you are completely ready. You don't necessarily have to quit your job, but be content to walk into the next stage of life.
- Serve: Move from activities focused on the self to activities focused on others. Focus on teaching or mentorship, sharing ideas in the service of others.
- Worship: Bach said that "the aim and final end... should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul." Whatever your metaphysical convictions, refreshment of the soul can be the aim of your work.
- Connect: Happiness is directly tied to one's relationships. Dedicate more time to relationships, and less to work.
