My Muse
I'm thinking a lot about values at the moment, because I'm thinking of writing a book about them, as I mentioned last month. Living our life according to one's own values leads to our happiness, but I've noticed that in many cases we 'overdo' a value which leads to results other than our happiness.
I
believe
that
values
and
the
behaviour
that
leads
from
them
are
on a
continuum.
Taking
an
example
from
my
own
life,
I
have
always
had
a
strong
independent
streak.
Looking
at a
continuum
with
independence
in
it
could
look
like
this:
Dependence
>
interdependence
>
teamwork
>
independence
>
solitude!
I have such an aversion to the idea of dependence that I tend to veer too far the other way, towards independence and sometimes I stubbornly refuse to accept any help or support and then get left to do things completely on my own. I don't know how many times I've missed out on teamwork and interdependence, but I do believe I may be getting better!
I wonder if you find that something similar happened or happens to you. You believe you are acting in accordance with what you believe in, but you aren't producing positive results. Could you be overdoing it?
If you do, please let me know about it and I'll see if I can support you to get it back into balance.
My
News
This month I am busy writing and preparing a day's personal development workshop, to be delivered in mid-October. If you know of any organisation that are keen to invest in their people, I could work with them to produce the most amazing results.
