States, Stages, and Peak Experiences
Some experiences, no matter how beautiful, novel, or exciting, are still just experiences. They are to be enjoyed for their own sake, and once they pass, they remain primarily as beautiful, novel, or exciting memories.
Other experiences change you. They give you a glimpse of what’s possible, of who you might become at a later stage of your development. Once you’ve had the experience, it keeps pulling you in the direction you wish to grow.
If you are committed to your ongoing growth and development, it serves you to seek out these peak experiences to help you grow. If you are committed to the growth and development of the people around you, you need to go further, not just seeking peak experiences, but helping to create experiences for others that show them what’s possible.
