I smiled widely reading this. ....I'm still smiling!
I was particularly struck by: "‘the journey inwards’, which by the way is the title of a book which touched me when I was a tender 15 year-old" and how certain phrases or concepts remain with us through our lives ... I hold a similar phrase from a similar age closely and I am seeing more and more that it is 'what I am for'
And I remember when my nephew was four he ran up to me one afternoon declaring "I'm here for to tickle you" ... He still does!
Love this! And the question “what is mine to do?” has been so helpful for me over the past years.
(🎶 Brief digression: “What was I made for?” by Billie Eilish was playing in my head throughout me reading my post)
I also think there is a strategic question in there about what we say no to. If we don’t say no to anything, we’re not being strategic, spreading ourselves very thin and probably not actually helping anyone.
I also love the question: “who am I for?” #notforeveryone
Hi Lucy, thanks for your comment and also pointing out the important "what we say no to".
Liza and I will be doing a PS to the series in a couple of weeks time and I've made a note to include this important point. (You may be familiar with U TheoryOtto Scharmer part of which is "letting go and letting come").
