What is this life if full of care, we have no time to stand and stare – W H Davies
Beyond the bustling busy lives we live today, is there something essential that we miss ?
To explore this, New Acropolis Main Centre organised a talk titled Know Yourself: Life Beyond the Daily Grind on March 12 2022. This talk was the fourth in the “Live Authentically” event series.
The speaker explained how each of us are much more than just our physical body, thoughts and emotions, suggesting how we can bring more meaning to our lives beyond our busy schedules by incorporating a few philosophical principles in our day to day. One of them was to keep our centre and not be carried away by the constantly changing external circumstances. This in turn can help us focus and bring more depth to what we do.
The audience also participated in a short practical exercise that highlighted the importance of bringing concentration in what we do, which can help us develop more stability into our daily living.
