TRIAL AND ERROR My failings remind me that I am still on the right path. They point me again in the right direction. They encourage me as I start again. This is not about determination or effort. Rather it is about the gift of grace which opens the window to let the light in. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What are your failings? 2. How would you describe the gift of grace that enables you to start again? PRIORITIES I’ve run out of time. I tick the boxes get halfway through but the end of the list never gets done. I just don’t have the time. I start afresh each day. I re-write my list and put my priorities at the top. But the important tasks never get done. I run out of time. It’s the same routine as I set out the tasks. And then it hits me that the real stuff never even gets onto my list. Never gets done. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What is the real stuff for you? 2. How will you rethink and reorganise your day to get the real stuff done? HONOURS LIST I worry about what has happened forgetting all is a privilege. I regret the mess I’ve made forgetting all is a privilege. I feel disappointed by what I’ve done forgetting all is a privilege. Each day brings an ongoing torrent of privileges, opportunities and gifts. Irrespective of how well I manage these the torrent continues. And so, as I try to embrace what happens today I remember that all is a privilege. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What privileges, opportunities and gifts have you already received today? 2. How will you embrace and use these? CONNECTIONS I know that I am nothing but that I am connected to everything through love. I know that I can do so little but that through this great love I can do everything. I therefore give myself to Love so that everyone can be well and all as it should be. In submitting to infinite goodness I unleash a gentle power within me beyond all imagining. For it is in this complete submission that I am connected to everything that ever was and is yet to come. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What are you connected to? 2. Who are you connected to? NETT GAIN If you pull back the net curtain you will see clearly. You will see forever into the distance. If you don’t pull back the net curtain all you will see is the net curtain and a vague light behind it. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What would you like to see more clearly? 2. What is the net curtain? EXCLUSION It is no longer enough to stand inside the tent and call people to join you. Sometimes we need to go outside the tent and work with people, so that we can all walk in together. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Who is in you tent? 2. How can I or others join you? HANDS-ON I can remember you washing your hands in the kitchen sink. You'd just come home from work with garage grease up to your elbows. And Ma rescued the situation with a towel whilst serving us our tea. I can remember you asking me to hold out my hands So that you could wind the wool into balls. And then you'd sit at night knitting Aran jumpers that were admired by all. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. Being hands-on means that we are actively involved. We make things happen with others. What are you making happen at the moment? 2. What hands-on activities do you have with your partner and/or children in the daily activities of home life? 3. How are you working with others who are holding out their hands, asking for help? STEP CHANGE Back to work. Back to the coffee shop. Back to family and friends. Back to barbecues. Back to days out. Back to meeting up. Back to school. Back to all we love. Progress now means that we move forwards by going backwards in small steps. We are rediscovering and cherishing all that we had and once took for granted. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What is the 'step change' you are most looking forward to rediscovering? 2. How do you express your thanks and appreciation for what you already have in all aspects of your life? SELF ACTUALIZATION Mission and purpose ask us to reach into ourselves and try to understand who we are, why we are here and what we are meant to do at this time. Self actualization is made real and visible for us every day through this ongoing inward search and the ever-present uncovering of truth on our lifelong journey. PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT EXERCISE 1. What is your mission and purpose? 2. What have you uncovered today about yourself? |
