Lifespring Book Excerpt: Taking Action
How is this leap different from
the "more, better, different" syndrome? "More,
better, different" merely entails a change in the contents
of your life. The kind of leap we are dedicated to encompasses
a shift in the context from which you operate--the container
in which you hold the specific contents of your life. Not
only are you better equipped to change your specific results
(to achieve "more, better, different"), but your
experience of what can't be changed becomes one of opportunity
rather than resignation.
This project clearly aims at more than just getting more of
what you know you want.
Beyond improving your current
situation, you will develop practices that will dispose you
to peak performance permanently and in the face of unforeseen
challenges. You will also be contributing to others. Through
manifesting your commitment to a quality life, you will contribute
to the transformation of the entire planet. You will see how
profoundly the world is affected by your presence. It is not
necessarily expected, nor desired, for you to change your
values. Simply be willing to scrutinize the way your identity
has been sculpted through your interpretation and actions
and examine honestly whether that is in line with your vision
for your life.
