In today's age of overwhelm, distilling simple formulas to help us in our daily lives is challenging. Ikigai is way of being that we can all live by. So true about reading just one page of an inspirational book. Right now I'm reading The Creative Act by Rick Rubin.
It comes to mind with the question David...how does one eat a 74 selection course meal (big buffet) and the answer is one mouthful at a time. As you suggest it is important as in the military to take each mission in the present moment with assignments to do in a way as to best complete it. Funny how you got 47 and curious of the significance but that for later ;) the PMI is a great way to start and being curious is part of the process. What may be added to increase the PM portion is to ask trusted friends once completed to perhaps see if these may be actually true or at least provide some feedback if a critical decision. It is said we make over 30,000 decisions a day...well we must be pretty good after awhile right...um...not if we are not curious as well and may change some of the decisions that may make us a better person....have the courage! Here's a prayer to consider! The Serenity Prayer is an invocation by the petitioner for wisdom to understand the difference between circumstances that can and cannot be changed, asking courage to take action in the case of the former, and serenity to accept in the case of the latter.
