The 5 Elements of a Fulfilling Life (1st Printed Edition)
What do you want to improve about your Life? Body?
Fitness? Diet? Emotions? Mind? Health? Friends? Family? Happiness?
Career? Success? Environment? World View?
A fulfilling life
includes a balance of all these elements: a fit body, a healthy diet, a
clear mind, passion, meaningful relationships, satisfying work, and a
positive world outlook.
But how do we fulfill these life goals?
In
the ancient Chinese Tao philosophy, the balance of 5 elements in
nature, i.e., Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, and Wood, leads to universal
harmony.
These ancient 5 elements directly correspond to our modern 5 elements of a fulfilling life,
1. Earth is our Body, sustained by our diet and exercise.
2. Fire is our Emotions, essential to our success in thinking, feeling, and doing all.
3. Water is our Mind, fluid and clear our meditation calms and focuses thoughts
4. Metal is our Work, increasing our work abilities and professional skills enrich us
5. Wood is our World, from the land we walk on to our family and friends we interact
with, our world is what surrounds us.
