Right timing in life
Sari Komulainen
I support communities towards holistic well-being, combining business, creativity and personal growth.
I have learned that timing in human life is also about the place. Where I am in my life? Early childhood is about learning to walk, talk and think with help of concepts. There are common and differentiated themes for every human being in life. In my life I have had the possibility to listen to thousands of life stories (mostly working life). By listening those stories I learned a lot about myself and I was able to figure out that all people had to some extent same tendencies in life - really. I was able to connect these observations to the general laws of human life while studying the biography work later in my life.
Why I am today writing about this? I have been lately contemplating the right timing for me. At my age - I am on my 55th year at the moment I realise strongly that I am not anymore using my will power to accomplish things for my self; more knowledge, material possessions and "extreme" experiences. I have already done that - gained experience from outer world. So, what is left? There are several possibilities and I will summarise some of them here. If you are over 50 years old and have same kind of question about timing in your life - please comment.
Being over 50 years old means to me, that I try to seek opportunities where I can be in service to younger generations. Not in the way that I will tell how things should be done, but more or less asking the right questions. I am exited to see how the younger generation is gaining experience and building concrete things in the world. I am learning not to disturb this natural flow of co-creation - particularly if I am not asked any advice. Sometimes I am asked and at those moments I find out how much I would like to give direct answer. Fortunately the younger generation around me don't take direct advices. They prefer those good questions or I may tell some story about my life and experience which could give some light and perspective to the occurring situation.
There is a strong vibe of letting-go of achieving things in my life and yet I experience the best time of my life at the moment. I could get used to this. How about you?
