A reply on Conversation: Have you ever faced a near-death experience and if so, how did you relate to the world and yourself afterwards?
A comment on Conversation: What is ONE book you think changed your world view?
It allowed me to differentiate between self-driven and fear-driven decisions.
...and it made me laugh
A comment on Conversation: Wealth and power have been our conventional measures of success. What definition will better sustain us now and how can we move into it?
Recently I've been asking that question and have come to the conclusion that I get the most out of life when I am encouraged and inspired by other people - whatever form they hand it to me with. As I get older I am realizing the need for me to do the same and stop concerning myself with financial security/success.
So my answer would be to encourage inspiring others at a younger age so we can become champions of all at the same time as being their competition. I think it can be more than just "team spirit" because that is a simple answer. I believe that if we grade ourselves not only based on our personal successes, but by all those that we touch, fulfillment and respect can be widen to a degree that even I cannot comprehend.
That is my path now and I would ask your mother who she has inspired and encouraged along the way - she did a great job in raising you since you are so inquisitive and thoughtful in asking this question.
