Like any good mother, her desire was to have her child grow bright and bold, and to be full of good humor and wit, and to be generous and courageous and kind.

For, being such, how could anyone not have the most beautiful story?

After all, what is the code and concept of life, of living, of humanity, if it is not to find one's calling and to have that calling be greater than one's self; if it is not to pursue that calling and complete it with joyous self-respect?

A Beautiful Life - the series

Welcome to A Beautiful Life curated by your host Neville DeAngelou. We are exploring the essential elements of a beautiful life in the context of wholeness-of-being, seeking out and applying those aspects of lifestyle growth fostering health, wealth and happiness.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.."

John Keats

What is a beautiful life? Do you believe you are worthy of enjoying a beautiful life? Is the beautiful life attainable? How do you measure the beautiful life; what are its hallmarks? What would you need to change or add to your life to make it beautiful? Are you enjoying a beautiful life?

We begin our exploration by examining our five senses to see what role they play in the quality of life.

Our exploration progresses into an examination of how stories we tell ourselves impact seven qualitative attributes of a life's trajectory.

Listen. Learn. Lead.

The Hunks I Dreamed by Neville DeAngelou

Every new era is marked by a challenge that reveals the true nature of its character, its soul, its heart, our very being; a challenge so pervasive, so corrosive, so corrupting, it indulges our need for respite; a challenge that demands a new breed - A Breed Beyond The Hero.
