A Culture Of Leading The Way, Serving |09.02.18| Pastor Ron Sparks by One Step Closer

Every Follower Part 5 |08.05.18| Pastor Ron Sparks by One Step Closer

Jeffrey's premise:  "There is one human experience above all others that resides at the crux of a meaningful life, of meaningful relationships, and of meaningful and challenging work. It resides at the impulse to make something novel, useful, and beautiful: wonder."What is the key ingredient of a meaningful life? As entrepreneurs, we are called to create—to make something novel, useful, and beautiful. That impulse is wonder. And if we can reframe our work as a quest and approach each day with openness and curiosity, new possibilities emerge.  This season on Tracking Wonder we are exploring the creative entrepreneur’s quest for meaningful work, asking ourselves:   How can we face challenges with less worry and more wonder?  How can we convert pain into purpose?  How can we get the right stuff done without burning out?  Today, Jeffrey introduces us to the theme of this season at Tracking Wonder through the story of world-renowned author Haruki Murakami. Jeffrey recreates the unique moment when Murakami got the idea to write his first novel—during a baseball game. We explore the gap between idea and action, exploring the true meaning of flow and what it takes to pursue your quest day in and day out. Jeffrey discusses the idea of ikigai, explaining how the human impulse to create facilitates a meaningful life. Listen in for insight around the role of curiosity in the twenty-first century and learn how wonder can help us see people, problems and possibilities in fresh ways.  Key Takeaways  [1:27] The theme of this season at Tracking Wonder  Explore creative entrepreneur’s quest for meaningful work  [2:56] The story of Haruki Murakami  Idea to write novel came at baseball game  Uses distance running as training for writing  Regarded as most influential living novelist   [6:21] How to advance your own best ideas  Reframe as daily quest  Requires sustained focus  Face voluntary challenges (flow)  Risk for something greater than self  [10:22] The human experience that facilitates a meaningful life  Impulse to create something  Childlike curiosity, wonder  [13:39] How wonder dissolves cynicism  See people, problems in fresh ways  Connect with Jeffrey Tracking Wonder Tracking Wonder on Facebook Jeffrey on Twitter Jeffrey on Instagram Jeffrey on LinkedIn Resources Haruki Murakami Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi The Hero’s Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work by Joseph Campbell Melvin Konnor Joi Ito A special thanks to the early supporters of the Tracking Wonder Podcast.

At the age of 36 and as a mother of three with a busy solo practice in internal medicine Wendy Harpham M.D. was diagnosed with stage three non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and just like that, the Doctor became the patient. Now, from both sides of the stethoscope, Wendy uses her unique perspective to help patients become healthy survivors, survivors who get good care and live as fully as possible. Dr. Wendy Harpham is a fellow of American College of Physicians, a best selling author of six books on cancer (Happiness in A Storm is the one I read), a patient advocate and a nationally recognized speaker. Now a 26-year cancer survivor with seven recurrences since, Dr. Harpham has a lot to say about dealing with such a diagnosis and how to live a full, happy life. Wendy has something I really cannot explain; you have to listen to understand. Her passion touched and inspired me. I think a big part of fear are the unknowns related to what you fear and Dr. Harpham shines a bright light on a very dark thing; she gives hope. To those of you who do not have cancer. There are many reasons I think you should listen to this podcast but here are just three. Statistically, one out of two of you reading this will likely hear “you have cancer” in your lifetime. You probably know someone who has cancer or was recently diagnosed. Cancer doesn't own the bad medical news category. This is a lesson in dealing with any severe life challenge.   I felt unqualified to write a post about this show so I'll keep it short. To see a long form post visit www.larryweeks.com/ep-10-cancer-dr-wendy-harpham-happy-storm/ and read another cancer survivors perspective from my good friend, Ron Sparks where he shares his thoughts about the episode.
