We want to live our best lives. That is not just an aspiration but a realization of our life purpose. Our goals and dreams fuel our being toward not just success but also fulfillment—our heart's desire.
In these times, we are now one world and one humanity, a beautiful tapestry of diversity that used to be divided by the color of our skin, the amount of money in our wallet or bank, and religious affiliation and social status. Our differences now unite us in a shared experience.
Today, we feel the oneness of humanity, that we are united through a shared experience. We are all vulnerable to the global threat to human health; either we survive or continue to suffer—we're all in this together.
We are slowly adapting to a 'new normal,' which is an initiation of how much we have learned about survival skills and the test of our life's top priorities.
In the 'new normal,' people may realize that money may sometimes not save a life, that it isn't our ultimate purpose, and that the health we sacrifice for cash will be gone when we lose the battle.
Living in the city would start to lose appeal, and people would see the value of life in the rural area-- in the countryside.
The pandemic has been a profound teacher, revealing to us the beauty of the natural world that was once distant. The surrounding mountains, the chirping of the birds, and the clear blue skies, once the privilege of rural areas, have now become a part of our urban lives in isolation.
Now, more than ever, we realize the value of health and wellness over material wealth. Choosing a sustainable life in a safe and peaceful rural area can give us the peace of mind we crave. This shift in mindset will lead to healthier and more vibrant lives.
Between life in the city and in a rural area, the 'new normal' would point the arrow to the less crowded place where one can breathe fresher air and enjoy a fantastic view of the natural environment free from pollution.
And hearing from someone I highly respect, Master Del Pe, a Modern Sage, and an International Life Mentor, inspired people about living not just the 'new normal' but living our 'new best normal'-a life where we prioritize health and wellness, strive to live with our best self, and adapt to the challenges and threats that will arise in the future.
To live our most extraordinary life and our 'new best normal' is to go beyond a safe and secure life to a sustainable one we all deserve. Sustainable living promotes a healthier environment and enhances our well-being, allowing us to live our best lives.
