In SEI Cert class today, Yoshimi said she really liked what I said about Pursue Noble Goals, so I’ll try to recreate it:
Pursuing a Noble Goal isn’t about taking some “lofty” action in the future. It’s about understanding why we might do such a thing, then putting that “why” in action today in “everyday” interactions.
Our lives are made in small moments that add up.
Pursuing a Noble Goal is about ensuring those moments add up to significance — that they add up to what we mean to create.
Sometimes people hear the word “pursue” as something abstract and outside us – it’s really about putting it in action within us.

Thank you Josh and Yoshimi, this is one of those simple, profound descriptions. Very helpful. There are many ways I can reflect on my life using this description of our Noble Goal.
I feel thoughtful and moved. ciao a tutti, Sandra.
