Taking time

I think it is really important to take time to think about things, to reflect a little on ourselves, our life, our world and our place in the scheme of things. It takes time to understand things and that includes understanding ourselves which is a life-long process. The world is so busy now that we can find ourselves lurching from one happening to another, racing to get through a never-ending to-do list, struggling with procedures and systems and so on, but in doing so, we can lose ourselves. As Dr David Daniels, a leading authority, teacher and practitioner of the Enneagram said:

'There is nothing more important than self-awareness and self-understanding to bringing peace and compassion to our relationships and to our world'.

Stop. And take some time.
