This weekend Lydie and I went to bathe in one of our favorite artistic performances, Cirque Du Soleil. If you have never seen one put it on your to do list now!!!
If you've seen it on DVD or TV make it a priority to go to a live show.
If you aren't move to tears by the "magic" you experience it's time to check in.
The first few words that come to mind are impeccable, freaky and mind blowing.
Impeccable because of the way the show is "delivered". The greatest attention to detail is placed on everything that is done, from the costumes, to the live music being played in sync with each and every performance.
Mind Blowing because while you are watching you mind is saying that is impossible. "These people must be aliens".
Freaky because they are humans just like you and i.
They remind us of what the human body is capable when we commit to something with that degree of perseverance and dedication to their art. The performers training MANY MANY hours everyday (some of them) only to perform for 20 minutes in the 2 hour show.
This brings me to my point of EXCELLENCE.
Cirque Du Soleil- Totem
Here is a brief clip (which in no way does THE SHOW justice)
Excellence as define:
'a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards'.
The Ancient Greeks had a concept of arete which meant an outstanding fitness for purpose. This occurs in the works of Aristotle and Homer. Another related concept was eudaimonia which was the happiness which resulted from a life well-lived, being prosperous and fulfilled.
Many people work towards perfection and that leads to madness for it is a state that does not exist.
You can strive for excellence in everything you do, no matter what you walk of life, profession, job or vocation.
Excellence in the areas of our relationships, academics, sports, hobbies (to name a few), causes us to GROW in all areas of our LIFE. That is my definition of wellness, growing in all areas of our LIFE. (Wellness has nothing to do with the early detection and treatment of some labeled disease state- that is Wall Streets and Big Pharma's definition)
One area i would highly recommend you strive for excellence is in your health and well-being. Remember health and well-being are not "states" to achieve, they are not "places to arrive at". Yet they are states of being that require constant mind-fullness and proactive nurturing throughout your life. Wellness is an ATTITUDE which then directs your lifestyle choices.
