Thriving: Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life with Rand Selig (Episode #134)

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Rand Selig, accomplished entrepreneur, coach, scoutmaster, board member, and roll-up-your-sleeves conservationist, to talk about his book Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life, and having the power to make choices about how to live and change, leading to enhanced vitality, a sense of purpose, and even reach our full potential. Are you Thriving? It’s not about money and material things. Our society has a problem of not knowing what is enough, and we tend to constantly want to compare ourselves to others. Rand reminds us to be superior not with your fellow man but with your former self. The trick about aging well is vitality, not longevity, and that involves having a purpose all the way to the end and being emotionally healthy. Embrace what you can control, everything after that is only about influence. Learn to clean your relationships and finish your business with other people as early as you can. Find out about writing an ethical will to those you love. Thrive with yourself, with others, with the world, and by moving ever forward in your life!

“Just think of ‘Thriving’ as the climate and not the weather. Any given day might not be the greatest day for you, but on average, are you thriving or not? It’s a personal kind of assessment. There are four different components to Thriving. The first is to be thriving personally. It means building character, to having gratitude, having your emotions in check – the good ones and bad ones. It means to have purpose and meaning in life. That’s half the book actually because it’s so foundational.” – Rand Selig
