| Warrior Work Week 11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week we are going to challenge you to be mindful of the 9 precepts of Musashi and to look at each of the principles from different points of view. 1. Seek the truth. Do not be dishonest in your thinking. What is your goal in regards to a relationship or your work? What is the goal from their POV (point of view) and does it integrate or harmonize with yours? 2. The way is in training. What are you doing to train your body, mind and spirit? How does that integrate with your long term goals in regards to relationships, work and life goals? 3. Become acquainted with every art. What new arts are you acquainting yourself with? The great thing about new arts is that they can be used to reawaken the child within us and to help revitalize and humble us simultaneously. How can you use that art to look anew at yourself and the world around you? 4. Know the ways of all professions. Are you doing any new networking and developing different POV's and seeing new truths? Remember you can validate other's truths and not agree with them as being your truth. How is that reshaping your larger world view and the integration/interrelatedness of fields of knowledge? 5. Distinguish between gain and loss. Look at this week's gain's and losses on physical, mental and emotional levels. Look at the same pattern of the last 12 months to 6 years. What wisdom have you gained? How open is your heart? Is it better to look at relationships as a tally sheet or as an open account that never needs to be paid? 6. Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything. What is your intuition and understanding telling you as you look at your body, mind and spirit? Do you like who you are? What is it telling you about your work and relationships? Do you like where they are going? 7. Perceive those things which cannot be seen. How is you ability to look beyond the form of people and things coming along? How is your ability to see the energetic effect of how the form of people and things affects others around you? 8. Pay attention to trifles. How is your ability to pay attention and see the small things that are out of sync in your body, mind or spirit? What about the trifles that are in sync? How is your ability to see the trifles that are out of sync in your relationships or work? What about the trifles that are in sync and make both a better space to be in? 9. Do nothing which is of no use. How are you doing at applying this one? What effect is it or will it have on your path 3-8 months or 3-6 years from now if you continue as you are? What will you create within and around you? Remember to love yourself and to serve those around you. Be gentle with the process of becoming and evolving. Warrior work can be revitalizing or draining based on your POV. By Peter Hill, Copyright 2004 www.getittogether.net Week 12>> |
