I appreciate this essay on Four B's of Resilience and Strength authored by Dr. Soul Levine. The application of the four B's-Being(personal), Belonging(social), Believing(Ethical/Spiritual), and Benevolence(a sense of awareness of kindness and generosity) in our daily life. Practicing these four B's in my everyday life I feel myself like a whole person physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially. This way of living has been the foundation of my everyday life. Or like the author says they are the "foundation of our emotional footprint".
My sense of self-worth is shaped and sustained by implementing the four B's in my everyday life. I know I am not perfect. Being aware of my faults and limitations and working on my short comings kindly and compassionately helps me walk on the path of living spiritually. Self-examination, self-awareness, alertness and vigilance, owning wrong doing, patience, forgiving and correcting are the ingredients of my living a joyful and meaningful life. May I remain awake and implement the Four B's in my daily living! Namaste!

Love this one! Yes, I totally agree! The research on Happiness does find true what Dr. Levine states. He mentioned "awe," if anyone is interested I routinely show the Blue Mind series via Zoom and Bonus 1 is an interview Dr. Nichols does with Dr. Paul Piff a researcher of Awe. Fascinating interview on what is Awe and what it does for us.
