Destiny, Purpose & Meaning

Those who know me know that travel feeds my soul. That's why I'm a traveler. You could say it is my destiny - enriching the essence of my life existence. Recently, I said something a friend found so valuable that she wrote down my words. She told me my statement shifted how she viewed endings and beginnings. She described my words as rich with "nuances of purpose and meaning." This made me pause and see their impact. That's when I decided to share with you what I said - my own "quotable quote."

Quotable Quote

"Destination is the starting point of the journey."   - Sylvia Warren. MBA / Consciousness Coach

Naturally, I'd love to hear what meaning, if any, my traveler's perspective has for you. Does this quote clarify or expand the way you see the larger context of your work and life experiences?

Return of the Wolf

When wolves were "reintroduced" to Yellowstone National Park the ecosystem there rebalanced itself. Elk behavior changed because its predator the wolf was present. As wolves reduced the number of elks herds, a plant that unculled herds of elk had entirely devoured became plentiful again. The appeal of this plant's nutrition brought beavers back to Yellowstone after a 50-year absence. Their innate response to the environment was to trim trees and damn rivers. This made room for more flowers to grow and attract birds that had stopped coming to Yellowstone. The return of the wolf tipped the balance of this incredible ecosystem, allowing Yellowstone to flourish anew from the natural interdependence of its wild life.

A Living Metaphor

The rebalancing of wild life in Yellowstone reflects the return to harmony you seek in work and the rest of your life.
