Что делать или Кем Быть?

Доктор психологии, Президент Международного Эриксоновского университета Мерилин Аткинсон задает простые вопросы, ответив на которые вы можете взглянуть на окружающий мир с позиции мудрости и доброты.

Have you ever noticed anything special about transit times?   These are great times for doing the important things in life, for finding the "giant stones in the bottle of life that we need to keep putting into focus."

You know the story of the multiple bits of gravel in the Bottle of Life that uses up our time; and how if you don't put the big stones in first there is no room to get them in later. Travel provides those moments to contemplate the giant stones- to think about what is truly important!

Traveling- being in transit-has always been a very special time for me. While in transit it is as if the Universe opens up its arms and says, "OK, you are in my arms now:  What is really important for you to  Be at this moment? You have all the space you need for it..."

I stop.  I move from prose to song, from details to overview, from doing to Being.  I relax and contemplate, and gratitude opens.  I think of the power and growth of inner value, and it warms my soul. 

Transit is a great time to ask the important questions- "Is all right with my own heart?"   "With those around us?"

Who, today, needs gratitude?

Whose courage needs to be seen?  

Whose efforts need to be supported? 

Whose loving efforts kindle mine?  

What incompletions  are there of major importance? 

Is anyone dying? 

Is anyone truly not available?  

How can I knock on their door?

What can I do to bring a little gratitude and blessing to bear fruit in their lives?

Give yourself some moments of inner transit.  When travelling, check your jar- your 'Bottle of Life".  Move from doing to Being and allow your inner jar to be filled with clear connection to what is truly important to you.
