MZD - Ep 49 - Self-Development Through Nature

"What the false self fears more than anything else is change." ~ Father Richard Rohr We all have different and varying opinions on the definition of success, but I think it's say to say that we'd all agree that - Success in life is becoming what you want to be. The path you take ton get there is up to you, but the fact is - Nature is a major catalyst in helping us get there faster! Here's how: Everything alive is either growing or dying. To be alive means to grow. When you stop growing, you die. In his classic personal growth book, "The Science of Getting Rich", author Wallace Wattles offers this universal wisdom – "The purpose of nature is the advancement and development of life… Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life because life – in the mere act of living – must increase itself...There are three motives for which we live: we live for the body, the mind and the soul." As we immerse ourselves in the restorative, energizing qualities of Nature we begin to nurture and grow in each of these areas. The wholesome, organic properties of the natural world help return us to our roots. It's sort of like when you put a fish back in the water after finding it on dry land, our bodies, minds and souls are returned home, revived, renewed and restored. Not only does spending time in the wild energize and awaken us, but it brings a rest and recreation that cannot be fully replicated or manufactured anywhere else. Nature is an endless storehouse of riches. It is in a constant state of renewal of itself. And the fact is, we all are a part of Nature. To learn more listen to today's show!  Glad you're here...
