my best life 07.10.17.1204P

He wrote a group of words in what appeared to be an
equation: vitae // corporis animo sensum
It seemed as if the author theorized that vitae (life) is
comprised of or equal to corporis, animo and sensum
(body, mind and feeling) and seemed to implicate they
were all connected.
Dr. Lattimore explained to me the POWER OF CHOICE,
to choose that which results in good consequences OR to
choose that which results in bad consequences, comes
from your mind AND body AND emotions. Dr. Lattimore
thought this was one of the first times the word sensum
(or feeling) was used to describe a person’s emotions;
which was another term that would be more commonly
used to describe a person’s feelings by the early 19 th
century.
This equation fascinated me. It was so simple, yet it was
a guide that seemed to explain much about our complex
lives. I didn’t understand it completely yet but my interest
was piqued to learn more and perhaps I could use this to
turn my own life around.
Dr. Lattimore noticed my enthusiasm and saw that I had
a direction, a goal… a task. What he didn’t realize at the
time was the value of the gift he had just given me.
