Our Life, Our Work, Our Humanness: The acceptance of our humanness is a gift to self and others that provides greater peace, exploration, and rewards

We are more divided than ever in too many aspects of life, and we too often feel various levels of emptiness while pushing to keep up or protect ourselves from all that is coming at us. Our Life, Our Work, Our Humanness explores our relationships with ourselves and others, and how our stressors and society’s negative influences affect and slowly tear us down. What helps is empowering yourself with more and easier options, so the bad effects you less and can even become a powerful lesson to greater peace. Bad will periodically happen to all of us. However, finding more goodness between the bad, and how we handle most of it, can become easier.

We, and our lives, are built of emotions, relationships, concerns, expectations, harsh realities, and painfully even politics. Vincent is trusting us to open-up about his thirty-four years of front-line public service in both emergency nursing and law enforcement. He then trusts us further to look at our shared difficulties and tragedies as humans, his personal life mistakes, lessons, observations, and what made it all easier. He validates our issues and pains, then quickly moves to solution-based concepts and functional tools to tame our life stressors.

The author writes:

I am periodically asked, “With the amount of tragedy and death you have seen, how do you still laugh and love life so?” Sometimes the same question is worded differently, by ending in, “. . . how can you always be so happy?” My answer to the first question is that life is hard, yet an amazing and unfortunately short, powerful journey. So yes, I do find the good, the lessons, and the laughter, as often as I can. My answer to the second question is the same, but it starts with, “I am not always happy . . .”

We are human, and that is a messy condition. Sometimes bad is just bad. Yet, seeing and working with the bad from new perspectives can make often help it be much less bad. This book is for those who want less conflict and desire a more meaningful and peaceful life filled with greater joy, exploration, and ease.
