At some point many of us awaken to the desire to have a more meaningful, inspiring life and leave a legacy for future generations. You can choose an overarching theme for a legacy but what if you saw each moment as an opportunity to respond to people and situations in a way that aligns with your future legacy?

As we are heading into spring, with new flowers and leaves blooming, it’s a good time to explore whether life feels meaningful to you, and whether you want to create new experiences for yourself this year.
It’s also a time to look at how well equipped you are to navigate the darker times in life.
Living a meaningful life means we have to face, not run from or avoid, struggle and pain.
The older I get, the more I find truth in the Buddha’s statement: Life is Suffering.
It’s not that we don’t have fun, fall in love, or experience pleasure, but pain, stress and dissatisfaction are part of life.
We get sick, people die, relationships end and we face many other struggles.
And life can be mundane, as we accomplish all the daily tasks needed to survive.
It has also become clear to me though, through various teachings, that we can experience pain without suffering; that each interaction is an opportunity to deepen our connection with self and others; and that living a meaningful life happens in the little moments as much as the big ones.
On today’s Man Alive Podcast replay, I was joined by Chance Taureau – consultant, leader, and trainer for The Mankind Project International. He is one of the most deep and honest human beings I’ve met. This conversation is perfect for exploring your most meaningful life.
In this powerful episode we discussed:
- How to suffer well and gain gems to make life more meaningful
- The deep and honest layers of living life to the fullest
- Victor Frankl’s wisdom (from surviving the Holocaust) about your power to truly make choices
- Gaining clarity on what your life is really about
- How to shift from reactions to responses that are in alignment with your future legacy
In a couple weeks I’m going to launch a free giveaway called Hot, Happy, Healthy Love and Sex After 40: Essential Wisdom for Deeper Connection and Conscious Intimacy.
If you’re younger than 40, you’ll still benefit from this wisdom, but I wanted to address the challenges we face as we get older, both dating and in long term relationships. Keep an eye out for more details!
