ONE STEP AT A TIME
We, in The Rotary Club of Canterbury, are blessed to have talented individuals who not only lead but participate in life in a fulsome manner.
Lili Ann Kriegler, member and former Club President, has done it once again. She has produced another book, a framework of life and living, in the form of a step by step implementation of a guide to living one's life to one's full potential. Each of the steps is broken up into bite size portions, developing in sequence, skills and ideas which, when taken together, complete a program of empowerment and purpose.
Tonight's meeting was a mini workshop, in which Lili Ann cherry picked some of the essential features of her latest publication, "Lifelong Vitality". She has listed twelve of them, habits which can begin in childhood and persist throughout our adult lives. Each of us takes a path in life, and we can choose to focus on what goals we use to reach the outcomes we wish to achieve. Small, daily habits which improve us are the basis of the outcomes we achieve. With discipline and foresight, we can all succeed, applying methodical and calculated steps, as outlined in "Lifelong Vitality".
Many of the thoughts and actions which Lili-Ann extrapolated are common sense, but they need to be highlighted. Each section of this manual is a step towards living a full life in this world. She has a special way of explaining a perspective in daily living, and treating it in a methodical and pedagogical manner.
The examples are real and easily applied. The suggestions in the manual are meant to be implemented in a gradual way. Step by step, bit by bit, they add value to your life, giving you a pep in your step.
Whether you are six or sixty, you can be a participant in your world and enjoy what you do. Underlying all of this, is the view that your enthusiasm and focus is required. Thus, the reference to "vitality".
A great presentation by Lili Ann that was very well received by all in attendance.
