What stage are you in this pandemic?
Dear Linkedin friends,
Thank you so much for all the likes and shares for my first LinkedIn article: Let go in a time of the pandemic. You inspired me to share more. Below is a poem that captures why I title my upcoming book Stage IV: Stage for Creative Metamorphosis, a cancer conqueror's design for mindful transformation.
We will also be launching our Stage IV Show soon, here are our main categories of topics:
- Patient & Family Challenges: Mental, Physical, Financial, Family & Relationships
- Design for Health: The Power of Human-Centered Design
- Future of Medicine: The Future of Health Innovation
- Healthcare Turtle: The Challenges of Current Healthcare Innovation
- The Healing Art: The Science Behind Mind and Body Medicine
- Tips & Tools: How to Handle Difficult Life Challenges
I’m still learning about Linkedin’s article publishing. Feel free to provide comments and feedback below, and contribute to the creation of this book. And if you have resources that we requested at the end of the article, please provide comments or reach out to me directly via Linkedin.
Stage
There are different stages of life:
The stages of your professional life,
The stages of your personal life.
Whether you realize or not,
You are playing the character of your life
On that stage.
There is the stage of performing arts
Where you sing, dance, tell jokes, recite poems,
share intellectual wisdom and ideas
in full spotlight
you may or may not able to see
the audience in front of your stage
each of them playing the characters of their lives
smiling, laughing, crying,
surprised, amazed, or intrigued
and taking every single thing you say,
every single thing you do,
home
to empower or challenge that character of their lives
Then there is the stage
Where numbers really really matter
for you and your loved ones
because you are battling for your life
and you are praying the number will be as small as possible
Stage I, Stage II, Stage III, what? Stage IV
Oh, guess what, you luck out, because you are stage IV A
So your life is saved from cancer because God, or some genius out there,
decided to put an A, B, or C after the IV.
In Indian culture
every 25 years is a stage
so Stage IV is the last stage of your life,
so live it fully, love wholeheartedly, smile beautifully,
sing, dance, tell jokes, recite poems
share intellectual wisdom and ideas
you don’t need a full spotlight
because you are playing the character of your life
enjoy while it lasts,
take a deep breath.
Suck it all in.
Stage IV can be just as beautiful as Stage I,
or any stage of your life,
professional or personal
In or out of the spotlight
with or without an audience.
