“Life’s little details deserve appreciation. The wonder of it all lies in the details, and then the details within the details: flowers with delicate, specialized parts designed to attract insects and encourage pollination, leaves with tiny pores that allow the plants to breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. The cooling breeze that feels so good on your face is a miracle in itself -how would it feel if the air were always still? Don’t forget the beauty of dusk as the sun sets, or dawn as it rises. Everyday occurrences present endless opportunities to feel love. Make a list of details you take for granted, and you’ll come up with hundreds more.” (p. 175)

Technology has expanded at such a rate that nearly every aspect of our world has been affected — yet there has been no corresponding expansion of personal happiness. We are depressed, anxious, sleep-deprived and overmedicated. This talk explores the innate technology within us — the “apps” of our mind, body and emotional center that contain the inner-knowledge that can empower the most meaningful areas of our lives.

“If you’re one of the many women who say, I don’t have time or energy to exercise, you don’t understand what a terrific bargain you’re passing up. Isn’t preventing a heart attack worth a few hours of your time? What is decreasing your risk of developing cancer worth to you?…Stop thinking of exercise as a luxury, something that can be bumped to the bottom of the to-do list. Instead, remind yourself that it’s a necessity that needs to be a priority in your life. Think of it this way: The healthier, more rested, less stressed, and more energetic you become through physical fitness, the better able you’ll be to care for all of those various responsibilities in your life. It’s like money in the bank.” (p 6-7)

“Filtering everything you read and watch may be a little extreme for most people, but it does underlie an important concept: We become a literal “repository” of everything we see, hear, and do. Today more than ever, we’re bombarded with negative images and stories on such a repeated basis, who knows what seeps into our subconscious? If you want to perform at a higher level and amplify your passion for life, you should seriously look at the effects the mass media has on your mental fitness.” (p. 38)

We often define ourselves by things that are “outside” us: relationships, work, family — even our own bodies. But what would it mean to have your life dramatically altered and your body irrevocably damaged? Who would you be then? This talk explores the impact of loss on the human psyche and the universal quest to find meaning and fulfillment. It is only through the process of losing everything we thought we needed that we find who we truly are.
