VerAegis-Contribution

Achieve a Dynamic Balance in Life Like You Have Never Experienced Before!

The word VerAegis signifies a unique and dynamic balance in life. This fragile balance between relationships, contribution, and spirit is our key to orchestrating a meaningful and lasting legacy. VerAegis is an evocative word derived from Veracity and Aegis, together invoking the essence of courage; being considerately courageous.

What we do in life, especially for others, matters. It matters a lot. Our contribution is intimately linked to the health of both our spirit and our relationships. Arthur Gordon, a soldier, husband, father, writer, and editor-asserted that if we strive to help others, our strength is increased and we do the job well, but if we are consumed only with helping ourselves, we fare less well. Gordon declared this to be a law inexorable as the principle of gravity. When we each contribute using our strengths to complement and build, we improve our relationships, strengthen our spirit, and increase our effectiveness. It's time to earn a unique balance.

Live beyond your comfort zone. Grasp the importance of our contribution to our overall effectiveness. Gain insights confirming that as we travel through life what we do for others has a lasting impact on our relationships, and our spirit. Investigate tools and develop healthier habits to help you work smarter, not harder; to better manage finances and time; to make better decisions, and to set healthy boundaries that free you to be more creative while balancing your time so that you do not neglect relationships or yourself. Internalize that, through our contributions; we can positively impact others, inspiring them to "pay it forward." What better way is there to forge a legacy?

We all face times of stress, heartache, and pain; how we respond is our choice. Dare to live life to its fullest. Endeavor to direct your lasting legacy.

VerAegis is an evocative word derived from Veracity and Aegis, together invoking the essence of courage; being courageous:

• Courage and veracity represent truth, honor, integrity, and the adherence to principles such as the golden rule; the simultaneous application of courage to stand up for one's beliefs and consideration to listen confidently in order to understand the beliefs and convictions of others.
• Aegis represents our spiritual connection with and protection by a higher authority, and our internal struggle to resist temptations; to do and to be good.
