Becoming: Navigating Life with Stoic Strength, Romantic Passion, and Existential Clarity for Living a Life of Meaning
Blog post description.
In 'Becoming,' we're on a journey to make our lives better using Stoicism, Romanticism, and Existentialism. It's like having a strong mind, following your passions, and finding your true self.
Life unfolds as a rich blend of challenges, desires, and moments of existential reflection. It is a journey that often finds us grappling with the complexities of the human experience, seeking meaning in the face of adversity, and yearning for the kind of passion that sets our souls ablaze.
This is where "Becoming" steps in—a transformational odyssey that intertwines the wisdom of Stoicism, the ardor of Romanticism, and the profound insights of Existentialism into a powerful roadmap for personal growth and the realization of a life truly worth living.
With Stoic Strength as our guide, we harness the fortitude to confront life's trials with a calm and rational demeanor. We cultivate resilience in the face of adversity, finding strength in self-discipline and wisdom in our responses to life's challenges.
Through Romantic Passion, we unleash the fires of our deepest desires and connect with the vivid, emotional tapestry of human existence. We celebrate love, creativity, and the unbridled pursuit of what stirs our hearts, infusing our lives with vitality and purpose.
And, with Existential Clarity, we delve into the profound depths of self-awareness and introspection. We ask the profound questions of existence and explore the paths to individuality and authenticity, understanding the unique narrative of our own lives.
"Becoming" is not just a program—it's a call to action, an invitation to embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. It's a compass guiding you towards a life enriched by meaning, purpose, and the unwavering commitment to becoming the best version of yourself.
After UCLA College of Letters where I obtained PhD is Philosophy, Psychology and Religion I got a teaching job at the University. I felt uneasy teaching. I applied for a job in the mental health field; I got many offers and within two years was running the mental health center where I worked, supervising psychologists and psychiatrists who have been in that field for many decades.
Eventually, I felt bored by the job (of been executive director...I was barely thirty two years old when I was the executive director of the largest mental health agency in the city where I lived) and quit and tried doing other things.
Nothing I tried worked out for me. So, I did other executive director jobs but eventually wound up quitting and returning to college teaching until I felt that teaching is too easy for me; I felt unchallenged being a college professor (I filled my time writing on assorted subjects that interested me).
Eventually, I realized that I have a destiny and fate. My normal routine is to read until I go to sleep (although there is a huge TV in the house, I seldom watch it) and get up around 5 AM, think for a while, and then go to my computer and type the thoughts that I just had in my sleep.
