The Living by Design School

We are more than human beings, we are human becomings, evolving and growing into something next. Studies show that people who are happier, healthier and live longer are people who live in a learning mindset. This world is full of opportunities for education. Yet there is one area where we fail to educate ourselves. We are left to figure it out on our own. And that’s the area of Life itself. 

Over the course of more than 35 years of listening to people, I realized our culture lacks a wisdom community for people to tap into and that most, if not all, of us can use guidance and support in growing up into next. We believe since we are intelligent we should already know how to live well. Yet most of us need support in learning to grow our lives in fulfilling and meaningful ways. 

Life happens and we don’t know what to do about it! We grope in the dark figuring out the most important things in our lives.

Oh, these feelings I have! Sometimes I really feel anxious. There are nights I don’t sleep well because my mind won’t stop. I feel like I’m spinning, spinning, spinning, going nowhere fast. I’m quite dizzy from it all.

How do I navigate my relationships at work and at home and learn how to partner in ways that work for all concerned? How do I even find a partner — and make it work?

And how do I manage myself with the more than I can handle things to get done? I’m doing my best just to keep up. Forget about knocking it out of the park in a big way.

I look at into the world and everybody seems to have it together yet I feel confused and lost inside. Is this something I am to keep a secret? I don’t feel very normal.

As Freud said, normal is someone you don’t know very well. We all are groping in the dark, doing our best to navigate life. Many, if not all, are anxious. It’s unsettling to be alone without guidance. I get it. 

Early on I was fortunate to come across a philosopy of living I was able to embrace and use to support me in this complex journey of life. Over the course of more than 35 years I have been helping myself, my clients and my students learn these foundational life skills, thus growing ourselves and our lives in ways that are deeply fulfilling.

I welcome you to The Living by Design School. It is here so you can deal with the important things we were never taught at school. 

Take a moment to think about it. How useful is it to learn how to decipher a calculus formula when you don’t know how to honestly share with your partner? Not very. Or, how much time did you spend in school memorizing the periodic tables of the elements in chemistry versus learning to negotiate agreements that serve the good of the people you live and work with? In my case, the answer is zero. Nada. No time at all, which turned out to be not very helpful in navigating life as a grown-up. 

But that was then and this is now. We don’t have to keep making the same mistakes. There are things to learn so you can make life easier more joyful and fulfilled. Practical, useful, tools to implement, starting as soon as right now, so you can change your life for the good.

Life isn’t easy. I think that is how it is supposed to be. I see life as challeging on purpose to get us to grow, evolve and mature into the next best version of ourselves.

The Living by Design School is dedicated to helping you do so. It is devoted to teaching how to grow into a calmer, fulfilled, joyful and successful person. It will assist you to come present to your life. You will learn the secrets of happiness, which aren’t secrets at all. It’s just that we have been looking in the wrong direction. You will learn to Calm Down and Lift Up, tapping into inner resources rich with creativity, wisdom, intuition and more. From here you become a co-creator with life, taking actions that will make a positive difference in your life. You will be living by design.
