The Stages of Life

DEVELOPING OF LIFE
Life stages show you where you are in terms of your level of development -- and the beginning and end of a cycle of evolution. Knowing what they are can help you track your progess and get unstuck or back on track if you are lost.
They are divided them into eight stages ... from exploring as a novice through becoming a master to undergoing a regenesis ... so you can easily figure out where you are in any area of your life.
Once you know what stage you are in, you can focus on succeeding at the critical tasks, challenges, and opportunities while avoiding the pitfalls so you can smoothly transition to the next stage.
Eight stages of life:
Exploring
In life stage one, you begin by exploring your world in search of ... inspiration ... answers ... a life direction ... or a lover. IT all depends on the area of life you are dealing with.
Calling
Life stage two is a time to follow the promise of things to come and seek to understand what you are called to do. Dreams, touchstones and things that delight you all provide hints and clues worth pursuing.
Focusing
What drives life stage three is a quest to follow you calling and find your passion and what makes you unique. Questions about life, who you are and who you can become ... lead to a sorting through to find the ideas, lifestyles, values and career choices that fit you best.

Working
The Working stage is the opportunity to start putting into action the things you have sensed in the Calling stage and learned in the Focusing stage. Now is the time to begin trying on in real life the ideas, lifestyles, values and career choices that you thing fit you best.

Excelling
In the fifith stage of Excelling you move beyond just working out the basics of life and now focus on excelling at what you do. The switch is one of attention -- becoming mindfull of the results you produce instead of just the paycheck you earn.

Mastering
Life stage six marks a major transition that few people make. Now, your attention shifts from excellence to mastering the tools, materials, and process of what you do in order to achieve at the highest levels.

Transcending
Few people reach this stage -- where you start to interact directly with the principles that underlie reality and determine what is possible and impossible. At this point, you start to redefine the boundaries of what is possible, probable and certain.

Regenesis
This is the last stage of life.This Life stage comes at a time when your life energy lasts beyond the role you were living and it is time to undergo a rebirth. A whole life begins and you need to begin anew the quest to figure out who you are and who you can become in this new life. As disconcerting as the transition is, it catapults you to start on a new cycle of evolution with a new Exploring phase.
