Join us as we continue Season 5 on Life Purpose and Calling by speaking with two friends that I consider mentors in my community. Birch and Diana Cannon are what I would consider true elders.
‘When we can let go of our own need for everything to be as we want it, and our own need to succeed, we can then encourage the independent journey and the success of others. The [elder] is able to relinquish center stage and to stand on the sidelines, and thus be in solidarity with those who need their support.’ (Father Richard Rohr, Center for Action and Contemplation)
In our discussion, we look at what life purpose means to them overall and through different seasons in their lives. We also talk about the importance of community and how the community mindset has changed over time. We touch what kindness looks like and how to pay it forward to others.
This episode (Episode 3) is a call to action. Less thinking and more doing. I was personally convicted by several things they said, so I can’t wait for you to hear it and expand your mindset to incorporate perspectives from other generations.
