LIVING THE MOMENT: A Sacred Journey


by Lance H. K. Secretan

 



In these fast and furious times, we all seem to be searching for greater meaning in our lives.  We're fed up with credit cards and major debt, houses and vehicles we can't afford, gloomy economic forecasts and political uncertainty.  A yearning for simplicity, contentment and substance is replacing the quest for status and material gain.  Suddenly everyone is talking about values, love and peace of mind—in the workplace, at home and in all of our relationships.  Issues Lance Secretan has been talking about all along.

Lance Secretan, author of the international bestseller The Way of the Tiger, and 15 other leadership titles, has given us a great gift in Living the Moment—a lavishly produced book, with stunning illustrations, and a touching, meaningful story.  Its central characters are Hawk and Eagle, Native North Americans who embark on a Vision Quest that exposes them to the fundamental truths of their lives.  Along the way they learn many lessons, the greatest one being that they must "live the moment".  We learn that, if we treat each moment as a privilege, a sacred sense of belonging and fulfillment will envelop us.

“This is a wonderful 'tip of the iceberg' book for your spiritual quest. It's beauty and simplicity speaks directly to your soul. My thanks to the author for writing it.”

Lance Secretan -- philosopher, consultant, and leadership expert—teaches and inspires thousands of people every year.  By using the principles of Higher Ground Leadership® he coaches leaders of outstanding organizations to inspire employees and find and keep customers—for life.

A corporate healer and visionary, he is a man whose wisdom has been of benefit to many.  He inspired us with such books as Managerial Moxie, The Way of the Tiger, Reclaiming Higher Ground, Inspire,One and The Spark, the Flame, and the Torch.  He has taken the simplest, most valuable wisdom he possesses and distilled it into Living the Moment.

Living the Moment articulates what we all know within ourselves:  that not one precious moment of life should be wasted or thrown away; that we need to be aware of and live each moment.  It follows that our lives will unfold in a prosperous and satisfying way.  If we address the truths of our lives, we will be empowered to make resolutions about the future.

In the tale of Hawk and Eagle, the brothers discover that they often viewed acquisition—of things both material and intangible—as an end in itself.  They learn that life, with all its moments, is the journey:  "The most important thing at this instant in their lives was the quality of this Moment.  Of this relationship.  Of this task.  Of this emotion.  And of this thought.  In this Moment one criterion eclipsed all others:  that this discrete Moment of life should be invested with passion, making it the best that it could be."

Lance Secretan has often used parables and fables to convey his message.  This ancient method has proved to be both enlightening and entertaining.  People seem to learn better when they enjoy the message. Living the Moment is a sacred journey, not only for Hawk and Eagle, but for all of us who are ready to change our attitudes and live a simpler life, based on spiritual rather than material values.

Included with the book is an audio version of the story performed by Theater and Company with original music and narration by Lance Secretan.
