Vitality Philosophy
Purposefully designed to be adaptive and to grow with you through the natural seasons of beginnings and endings with clarity and energy.
Your interpretation is insightful. It offers both perspective and direction.
Are you perceiving Dusk or Dawn?
Between dusk and dawn there is night, and if you’re reading this obviously you already know that. But what I want to focus in on is that between one chapter closing and another beginning, there is a space. This space is night and it’s your time to reflect, rest, and level up. In this in-between, you may find yourself open and willing to deeper levels of reflection — whether you’re really where you want to be, whether you’re really successful, happy, fulfilled… do you like your average Tuesday? Are you creating the type of impact you desire?
During times of transition and change it’s natural to be in a state of deep connection and awareness, seeing where your decisions have led, and reflecting whether the processes you’ve been running on are successful.
The other element in this visual is the tree, let’s dive into what it represents next.
The Tree Analogy
The tree is a framework you can take with you. When you find yourself tracing the branches of a tree and connecting your big projects to action steps and reflecting on how they’re connected to your roots which represent your beliefs and values.
Unseen but foundational, the tree’s roots and made out of your beliefs, mindsets, they are underneath, supporting all other growth. The roots support a steady trunk which are your values and uncompromisable pillars that are at the core of everything for you. The big branches growing from the trunk, this tree has four of these are your big projects, they’re things that you dedicate you time to, could be: school, profession, health, personal, this list is uniquely yours. The smaller branches are all the actions that create the outcomes. The fruit is the outcome and result of your efforts. The fruit carries seed which has the code for growing and creating this type of outcome again in the future. It’s a full loop of growth from seed to tree.
Sometimes we plant and nurture but don’t getting the fruit we desire. I’ve gone all in before, only to find the harvest wasn’t what I expected. Perhaps you, too, have grown cautious: which seeds do I sow? Will nurturing them grow trees that bear the fruit I want and need to survive? Will I love how I’m spending my life? What do I desire to spend my time doing? What do I actually want? Will the effort even be worth it? Your answers may vary widely based on where you currently are.
And sometimes, having someone to talk to—who actually listens, takes notes, has your best interests at heart, and asks the hard questions instead of just nodding along—makes all the difference.
