Positive Potential Medicine 19:Finding Meaning in Life – Answering Your Calling

On September 3, 2010

Health is more than the absence of disease, and life is more than just living. We are each called to achieve our positive potential in this life and to help those around us to achieve theirs. I’ll talk about the work of Joseph Campbell, the reknowned mythologist popularized in Bill Moyers’ PBS series, The Power of Myth, and his invitation to “follow your bliss”. We can not only live healthy lives but also meaningful live engaged in our calling, the intersection of our passions, our talents and the needs of the world.

I’ll talk about the Practice Support Program, the BCMA/Ministry of Health initiative, that is helping family physicians in British Columbia achieve their potentials in providing care to their patients.

High School and Other Stages of Life

My oldest son is graduating from high school as I celebrate a high school reunion with old friends. As we journey through the stages and challenges of life, we grow and learn, age and mature. At each stage, we face new challenges. Our priorities change, and our goals evolve. Our physicians must be attuned to our changing personal priorities before they can help us achieve our personal goals
