Nurture Your Wellness Ethic and Thrive!

The LAST Relationship Model covers the fundamentals of a rewarding relationship that will LAST. Relationships thrive when two people foster love in their feelings and interactions, accept the perfection of their imperfections, share things in their lives in meaningful ways, and talk (communicate) to deepen their emotional connection and work through disharmony. That’s the essence of what it takes to maintain harmonious relationships. Learn more about creating loving relationships in The Wellness Ethic by Mark Reinisch.

Think about what your life would be like if you fully embraced your life purpose and moved in that inspiring direction. Then, as you went about your day, you felt genuine love for all living things, including yourself, and that love was reflected in your actions and the good you propagated in the world. When stupid things occurred that you couldn’t control, you chose to surrender to that reality and respond with your Self-Actualized Genius to move forward in a positive direction. A life like that would be exquisite.

Your SAGe represents your best self. It is your internal guiding force that nudges you to promote well-being. When your SAGe steers your life, you:

• Know your life purpose and move forward in that direction with passion, confidence, and resilience.

• Tend to your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

• Feel connected to the universe and develop loving relationships.

• Have a positive, value-centered approach to life that honors your autonomy and authenticity.

• Choose love-centered responses to your circumstances.

• Pursue experiences that bring love, happiness, and fulfillment to your life and the lives of others.

• Minimize suffering because you understand that impermanence is an inescapable reality of how the universe works.

• Accept the perfection of your imperfect existence.

The wisp of life against the backdrop of the ages, I surrender because I am humble.

The faithful current that ferries glorious dreams, I surrender because I am on purpose.

The unbearable weight of a million mirages, I surrender because I am unattached.

An encounter with circumstance that cannot be foretold, I surrender because I am strong.

The mysterious origin of a fortuitous beginning, I surrender because I am awake.

The mighty gale that nudges a ship to uncharted seas, I surrender because I am trusting.

The rumbling ground beneath the chosen path, I surrender because I am courageous.

The knowing spirit that transcends mind and body, I surrender because I am wise.

The unyielding march of the abundant moment, I surrender because I am grateful.

The torrential monsoon that floods the parched land, I surrender because I am one.
