An Experience Rich Life
What is a Soul satisfying life? It is an experience rich in life. It is a life of collecting experiences, moments, accomplishments and memories not items or more objects and things. Beautiful sights for your eyes, beautiful tones for your ears, sensations of life taking your world in and experiencing all it is while you are here. I bet the ļ¬rst thing that jumped into your mind when you read an ‘experience rich life’ was the concept of YOLO or adventures and thrill seeking activities, that's not it. An experience rich life is about less is more but more of the good stuļ¬.
Since transitioning from the corporate world to a new life in Europe, I have discovered an unparalleled richness. Stripping away the material excess, my days are now imbued with experiences that allow for deep connection and introspection. It's a life where less truly means more – more of the good stuļ¬. It's a life where the reverence for experiences and moments takes center stage, eclipsing the former chase for material wealth.
reverence (noun)
Deep respect for someone or something.
Top of my list since choosing to adjust to an experience-rich life:
-
Going for a walk because I want to feel the day, not because I can ļ¬t it into my schedule.
-
Eating an entire meal without having to leave the table to take a work call.
-
Waking up with a smile because my phone no longer blows up with ļ¬res I am responsible for putting out.
-
Having time to spend getting to know myself again. Living. Having enough space in my mind to explore and think about what I see and experience.
Do you notice anything in my list? It's about me and my experiences while here, not about things. There is a massive shift—no longer having to 'allocate' time for self-discovery or self-love. How dreadful it is that most people have to pre- plan and section oļ¬ time for themselves! How about embracing the concept and lifestyle that realizes your time is your own? You should schedule when you give it away, not when you get to keep your own time for your own life. Do you see how backward it has become?
In a world that's perpetually in a rush, it's about slowing down to appreciate the essence of life, ensuring we don't get lost in the frenetic pace of existence. Living is not about rushing to do something, then rushing to do something else. It's about having enough space in my mind to explore and think about what I see and experience.
In totality, it's about an experience-rich life ļ¬lled with peace, absorbing all around you and integrating it into who you are and how it will shape you moving forward. It's not about how much you can check oļ¬ or cram in to say you did it or to say you own it.
It’s about slowly down and enjoying the best of life. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to become LOST in life and all we do and own. Are you merely existing, or are you leading an experience rich life? Remember, it's not the years in your life, but the life in your years that truly counts. And to truly live is to be experience-rich.4
