I love the quote the article “Afraid of Falling? For Older Adults, the Dutch Have a Cure“ ended on “You practice the things you know you can do, and not the things you can’t.” Falling as we age is one of those things. I shared this idea with a few elderly, and they seemed to enjoy the idea of an obstacle course that is clinically devised to teach them how to navigate treacherous ground without having to worry about falling, and how to fall if they did. The elderly, like many elsewhere, are living longer than in previous generations and often alone. As they do, courses that teach them not only how to avoid falling, but how to fall correctly, are gaining popularity. Falling can be a serious thing for older adults. Aging causes the bones to become brittle, and broken ones do not heal as readily and hinder the ability to live alone. With these preventive measures and modifications such as: having hand grips installed in just the right places, installing ramps, and adding raised toilet seats can give elderly a fighting chance to live alone, and to socialize with their peers who are facing the same things.
Your purpose is not some elusive hidden treasure that reveals itself all at once in a blaze of euphoria. Contemplating your purpose and taking aligned action is a process, a sometimes scary and painful process that unfolds over time. Sometimes long periods of time. Perhaps even the arc of a lifetime. As you live your way into a deeper understanding of what is true and good and meaningful for you, no matter how on or off course you might feel right now, you will gain the capability to acknowledge and invite new possibilities to live and work with awareness, intention and aligned action.
Developing your purpose is ultimately an exercise in imagination and creativity, because as the beloved Brazilian philosopher and educator Rubem Alves noted, “The frontiers of the possible are not determined by the limits of the actual.” What, then, is possible for you? Developing a sense of purpose for all that is possible (and not only what is actual) means listening deeply to your inner voice and connecting with what is most alive, true, and good in your life. –By Rich Fernandez
