The Sustainable Life:
The whole focus of the BRAIN-INJURY SURVIVOR NETWORK is about HOPE ….. hope for restoration and becoming again a valued member of the community. This is by experiencing the sustainable life. Such a life has the ability to be continually maintained everyday. It is the belief and personal experience of those who facilitate this network that there are three important components in recovering from a brain injury and and experiencing life in an ongoing way. These are: Structure, Social Network and Spirituality. Each of these components act like legs on a tripod which sits on large rock near the ocean. When the storms and waves of life come (as in brain injury), if the legs are strong, the waves will go over you but you will sit firmly on the rock of life. If one of the legs is weak, the tripod topples over into an Unsustainable Life experience.
The components of a Sustainable life are:
1. Structure .... Like the Body without a backbone, so is life without structure. It gives order, direction, aims and achievable objectives i.e. overall purpose.
2. Spirituality ..... gives ultimate significance .... The window of light and life ….. like a large glass window at eye level …. Is the inner room of your life which will provide plenty of light and understanding. It answers such questions as: Who are we as people?, What is the meaning of life?, Are we significant?, What values should I live by?, what gives identity and destiny
3. Social Network .... The people around us: the synergistic effect … multiplication and complementary effect of effort: Family & friends, Clubs and Organisations, Associations, Churches, General Community
These Sustainable Life Solutions will continue to work for you in the years to come. Inherent in this framework is an understanding of our uniqueness as a created being, sustained by a loving Creator. Having a clear identity enables you to become people focussed rather than self focussed. See details on the Sustainable Life here at this Website.
