This is an excerpt from Dilip Mukerjea's new book, Goldensouls:

Here are some additional perspectives:

Wishbone – emphasises the importance of having a goal, a focus and something to aspire towards. This bone provides us with personal motivation and keeps us facing forwards. Have big dreams.

Backbone – underlines the importance of mental toughness, being resilient and seeing things through. Having the courage to stand our ground, to stretch ourselves and attain the goal. This bone keeps us on our feet, even in the most difficult times.

Funny bone – reminds us that we all need a sense of humour, the ability to laugh at ourselves – to not take life too seriously or be too self-absorbed. This bone reminds us that it is okay to make mistakes and be vulnerable on occasions. This final bone helps us to stay optimistic and enjoy where we are and what we are doing.
