The Livelihood and Lifespan Relation

(Last Updated 12/29/23)

Humanity's shared purpose, to be practical, is the practice of lifespan performance and perceptual control to monitor one's livelihood development transition from ignoring worlds to working upon worlds.

Livelihood Development and Lifespan Performance

Humanity's application of shared purpose translated means that in human existence, the integrity of one's autobiography equates to the holistic application of the livelihood development and lifespan performance relationship as a dynamic and interdependent cyclical ascending-descending hierarchical negative feedback control system.


The Essence of Livelihood Development

Livelihood development transcends the mere act of earning a living; it represents the ascending movement of physical, emotional, and mental consciousness development. In this movement, every job, career change, or entrepreneurial venture is more than a financial decision – it's a step in the ongoing process of self-research for self-development. As we navigate different roles, we engage in research that contributes to our understanding of self and the world by supplying goals and intentions to guide our lifespan performance activation.


Lifespan Performance: A Measure Beyond Time

Lifespan performance is not simply the length of one's life but the quality and impact of that life. It encompasses the achievements, relationships, experiences, and wisdom accrued over time. The lifespan performance phase monitors livelihood development to identify new reference goals or intentions. Then, through performance, we reshape and activate experiences, challenge capabilities, and mold our life view.


The Cyclical Interplay

The relationship between livelihood development and lifespan performance is a dynamic cyclical ascending-descending hierarchical negative feedback control system. Early in life, our livelihood development is often exploratory, driven by curiosity and the desire to establish a foundation. Choices we make significantly influence our development during these formative years, shaping our skills, values, and aspirations.

As we progress through different life stages, our experiences in the workplace, the successes, failures, and lessons learned feed our self-research for self-development. In turn, lessons in the livelihood development phase influence subsequent lifespan performance goals and intentions. For example, a mid-life professional might seek a career shift to align with evolved personal values or to achieve a better work-life balance, reflecting a deeper understanding of their current livelihood development level.


Integrating Purpose, Integrity, and Experience

Purpose, integrity, and experience are central to this cyclical ascending and descending relationship. During the lifespan performance (descending phase), the flow is as follows:

  • Purpose-Intention: The why behind our actions guides our career paths, professional endeavors, and livelihood development.
  • Integrity-Wholeness: How we approach our actions ensures that our lifespan performance aligns with our core values, ethical standards, and consciousness development level.
  • Experience-Action: What we do (where and when), work on, and control contribute input perceptions to initiate another run through the ascension of self-research for self-development of the livelihood development phase.

Physical, Emotional, and Mental Dimensions

This cyclical systemic interplay also operates across the physical, emotional, and mental dimensions. The example, career choice, follows the ascending order during self-research for self-development of the livelihood development phase.

  • Physically, our career choices can impact our health and lifespan.
  • Emotionally, career choices influence our relationships and emotional well-being.
  • Mentally, career choices challenge and expand our cognitive abilities, affect life views, and self-consciousness development.

Recognizing, working upon, and balancing these dimensions is vital for optimizing energy flow between livelihood development and lifespan performance.


Real-World Applications and Personal Strategies

Applying the systemic relation of livelihood development and lifespan performance equates to a holistic life strategy. It involves continuous learning and adaptability, self-reflection to reassess and realign purpose and intention while maintaining integrity in our professional and personal lives by deriving research objectives from our diverse experiences.

Adopting this systemic cyclical relationship means recognizing that our work and professional life are not just a fragment of our existence but our life's narrative and story. Life is essentially a real-time, self-initiated, self-authorized historical autobiography that we cause and control.


The Assumption

The energy between livelihood development and lifespan performance is a perpetual ascension, descension, systemic cyclical movement of action, reflection, and growth. It underscores the importance of viewing our work not just as a means to an end but as integral to our life story about self-discovery, happiness, and individual consciousness evolution.

By consciously connecting with our innate dynamic and interdependent cyclical ascending-descending hierarchical negative feedback control system, we naturally develop and perform a successful life in the conventional sense while rich in learning, purpose, and happiness. This understanding empowers us to make choices that harmonize our professional endeavors with the evolution of consciousness, leading to a more integrated and rewarding existence.


Coaching Evolution: A Hybrid Coach-Play Perspective

The relationship between livelihood and lifespan presents a unique perspective on coaching evolution.

This cyclical ascending-descending hierarchical negative feedback control system functions as a lifespan performance and perceptual control model that monitors livelihood self-research for self-development. In that relationship, they generate the hybrid coach-play perspective, which, when worked through, causes self-initiated self-authorization.

The psychology of lifespan performance and perceptual control (LPPC model) is the activation of mental, emotional, and physical self-consciousness in real-time. Processes, motivations, assumptions, and behaviors influence the quality and progression of an individual's development by initiating the research for development phase of the dynamic cyclical systemic framework of functions and factors that drive a person's decisions, actions, and reactions during their current lifespan.


By linking psychology with livelihood as research for consciousness development, interconnected themes emerge:

1. Motivations and Goals:

  • At the heart of lifespan performance activation are the individual's core motivations, intentions, and goals. What drives a person? Is it material success, emotional connections, spiritual growth, or a combination?
  • When livelihood is viewed as research for consciousness development, the motivations may shift. The pursuit of wealth or status might be complemented or even replaced by a pursuit of understanding, self-awareness, and spiritual growth.

2. Adaptive Learning:

  • The psychology behind optimizing one's lifespan performance would involve adapting, learning from experiences, and making iterative improvements in one's approach to life.
  • When livelihood becomes a tool for consciousness development, every job role or task is an opportunity for adaptive learning. It's not just about doing the job well but also about understanding oneself better through the process.

3. Resilience and Coping:

  • One's lifespan performance is often determined by resilience in the face of challenges and coping mechanisms.
  • By including the consciousness development phase within the dynamic cyclical systemic framework, challenges in one's livelihood development are not just obstacles but lessons. This perspective can foster a healthier psychological response to adversity, viewing challenges as growth opportunities.

4. Integrated Self-Identity:

  • How one perceives their role in their job and society can influence their emotional well-being and overall lifespan performance.
  • If one sees their job merely as a paycheck, they might feel disconnected or unfulfilled. However, suppose they view their livelihood as the evolution of consciousness development. In that case, it integrates their work identity with their personal and spiritual growth, leading to a holistic personal-self-society life perspective.

5. Feedback and Evolution:

  • Lifespan performance, psychologically speaking, maintains a continuous feedback loop through the livelihood development phase, in which we assess perceptions from the physical, emotional, and mental dimensions. Then, utilize this research for development to make informed decisions about future intentions and goals.
  • When every day at work and play is a step towards personal growth, the feedback becomes multi-dimensional. It's about how well the task was executed and what was learned.

6. Holistic Well-being:

  • Optimum lifespan performance would be unachievable without considering holistic well-being, which includes physical health, emotional balance, mental acuity, and happiness.
  • The concept of livelihood development innately promotes holistic well-being, as it works upon not just economic productivity but self-consciousness evolution in the physical, emotional, and mental dimensions.

As a hypothesis for coaching evolution, in the Hybrid coach-play perspective, we find the psychology of lifespan performance is elaborately connected to how one perceives, interacts with, and derives meaning from one's livelihood development. By seeing livelihood as a tool for consciousness development, individual self-initiated self-authorization can encourage a more fulfilling, purpose-driven, and psychologically balanced progression of self-consciousness evolution.
