Wonderfully Human’s mission is to help people experience more ease and joy in life, regardless of circumstances.
Having a broader perspective about life and connecting with others (and ourselves) authentically and compassionately is key.
“What’s real is the stirring in our soul connecting with the souls of others, inspired by the simplicity of authenticity and compassion. There is no right way. So there is no pressure. There is no ‘should’ or ‘have to.’ There is nothing to do because it’s always been there and can never leave.”
-Quote by Lea Gambina Pecora (Excerpt from poem THE THING IS – the essence of Wonderfully Human)
What if life can be enjoyable through it all? Through all the ups and all the downs?
I believe it can. I don’t mean indulging in enjoyment to avoid the pain that comes with human existence, I mean the ability to find real joy in part of everything we experience – no matter how we judge our circumstances.
We could all use more ease and joy in life. Life presents so many challenges. Ease and joy does not come from doing nothing. It comes from courageously working through difficulty while not focusing on the difficulty. It’s not that it’s not hard, it’s that it being hard becomes insignificant.
This happens when we have a vision so clear that it inspires us to act. The journey may be hard, but we aren’t focusing on that. We’re focusing on the vision. We’re facing “what is” and making decisions in alignment with our vision, then focusing on each little step at a time.
Living in alignment with a personal Life Vision is a progressive yet powerful tool to gain clarity and peace of mind, enabling you to thrive in life with more ease and joy – even in the midst of the most challenging circumstances.
Aligning to a personal Life Vision is a source of courage and vulnerability, enabling you to exhale and expand, inspiring you to act in ways that are more meaningful and fulfilling than any action you can take from the incessant “to-do” lists we tend to create as a way to progress in our lives – a way that is full of effort, yet ultimately non-sustainable compared to the peace and momentum that comes from moving about in the world from the depths of who you are.
Who are you?
How do you choose to be?
What is your contribution to the world?
Creating your personal Life Vision helps you re-discover what you’ve forgotten…because we all know the answers, we just need to pause long enough to ask life’s big questions…and when we seriously start asking, the answers always come.
“Oh, how the pressure lifts, when we live our essence and move only from the truth of who we are.”
-Quote from Lea Gambina Pecora (Excerpt from book Wonderfully Human: A True Story of Love, Loss and Freedom) BOOK
Authenticity and compassion (for ourselves and others) is at the core of living in alignment with a Life Vision.
Compassion is something that is intrinsic in all of us. We’re born with it because it comes directly from our open heart.
It’s different than empathy because it moves us to action to help relieve the suffering of other human beings – including our own suffering. Compassion offers depth and meaning to our lives, and gives us a greater sense of purpose. We come to understand what life is all about.
“Humans show compassion – glimpses of compassion – without presence of thought – they act with altruism – an authenticity that touches another soul.”
-Quote from Lea Gambina Pecora (Excerpt from book Wonderfully Human: A True Story of Love, Loss and Freedom) BOOK
Email: [email protected], type LIFE VISION in the subject line, and a document I created called The Value of Having a Life Vision and How to Create One will be emailed to you. My personal life vision is used as an example as I walk you through how to create your own.
We will forever be in changing shades of dark and light throughout this journey. Let’s be there for each other during it all, and trust the light more than the darkness.
With enough of us trusting, we can change the world.
Love always,
Lea
