Episode Notes
- How can you tell when you are truly in awe of something?
- When your mind can’t wrap itself around something
- When something is awe-evoking, it’s difficult to conceive of it fully
- How do awe and wonder differ?
- Awe is brief. It’s like you the short circuiting of your brain when you can’t understand something. In fact, you may immediately try to find answers. So then awe induces wonderment.
- Wonderment is longer lasting and is the curiosity behind a thing.
- How does awe help you lead a fuller life?
- A full life tends to be one that feels full of purpose and meaning.
- Awe can help you feel like you’re part of the larger whole. It helps to facilitate the feeling of purpose and meaning.
- Being in awe keeps you in a constant state of growing and learning and helps you look forward to more in life.
- As humans, we find awe sufficiently rewarding
- The things we build: pyramids, cathedrals, temples, structures
- We create art, music, performances to awe others
- Speaking of performances…FB conversation
In anticipation of Savoring + Appreciation
- You admire someone’s hair/fit/accessory/car etc that you asked for the number of the person responsible.
- You dip down low and appreciate a fit so tough that you give the person dap at their ankles.
- You start hitting the person so angered by the state of wonderment they took you to.
- The slow roll, the pepper see, the wop, the cabbage patch you break into when your friend got the job.
- The way you appreciate the in the past when you hear good news and say, I knew it!
