Is the Grindset Mindset Working? Ancient Perspectives on Living Well - Lydia Dugdale at Cornell

Striving Everywhere

Are you always striving?

Have you let yourself become obsessed with working, striving, success above all else?

And with that in mind have you considered your death?

You may die today?

Have you reconciled with those you love?

Modern medicine will not save you, it only extends your suffering.

Will you make a commitment to slow down, to rest more, to perhaps change your vocation to soemthing that will allow you to focus on Christ, your family and community?

Today is the day!!

The Medicalization of Life

One of our post-modern delusions is that we can extend life and defeat death with our tehcnology and knowledge.

Eat better, exercise more, meditate and you will live an extended life.

None of those things are bad they just are limited and temporary.

Living longer is not living better.

I spent ten years in healthcare as an LPN. My work in a hopsital witnessed families making unwise and foolish mistakes regarding their loved ones health. Save them at all costs is a downward spiral of pain and suffering. I have witnessed it over and over.

We must accept that our bodies are wasting away and we will die.

Prepare your heart and soul, do this today!

Seek Christ above all else!!
