The Sibley Senior Association and t he Bethesda Metro Area Village are excited to offer Chris Palmer’s free thr ee-part workshop on how to improve your life: Design Your Life for Meaning and Success.
The workshop explores the goals, strategies, and tactics necessary to live a meaningful, successful, fulfilled, and productive life . We will reflect on our lives, discuss what really matters to us, consider how we find purpose and meaning in our lives, explore life goals, think ab out our values, produce personal mission statements, examine how to take be tter care of ourselves and learn effective time management skills.
Th e goal is to actively design our lives rather than drift forward reacting t o what happens to us. This is the time to look at the person we have become and ask if this is really who we want to be. Wouldn’t we like to live in a way that is true to our most honorable, generous, and best selves?
