You may be surprised at how answering just these  few simple questions can shed light on the overall influences that can affect your OUTLOOK on life.

Natural Inventiveness

Whether related to choices made in appearance, relationships, or a general way-of-being-in-the- world, you can reveal new perspectives. On whatever level you examine your life today, most people believe their experience needs to make sense to them. The Sage Companion Project joins you as  we  stretch our natural inventiveness and  pinpoint a self-portrait appropriate for a life well-lived. So many personalities. So many variations.

Where is the starting point for making choices?

Perhaps it is with healing heartache we all experience in life... .

Joan Borysenko, Harvard Medical School-trained cancer cell biologist, a licensed psychologist, and a New York Times best-selling author wrote: “The stories we habitually tell ourselves change our brain circuitry, our relationships, and our path through the world. They can elevate life to heaven on earth, or drop us unceremoniously into the fire.”   This self-guided series from The Sage Companion Project  applies Borysenko's advice, proposing  that we can look anew at our own self-messages and re-energize enjoyment in our lives ... regardless of age or physical ability... .

Honor and "Know Thyself"

"Voltage" is that energy for life, that joie de vivre, that special intensity that comes with wisdom earned over decades that happens when combined with a positive attitude and curiosity. It emanates-  like auspicious  moments on a sunny day-  from those who tap into their own potential  and can influence all around with pure possibility.
