Good morning all, In this week’s exercise “Meeting Aesclepius” we were asked
to take a journey through our mind and the mind of an individual we see as a spiritual
and mental leader. I found this particular exercise to be more eventful and
enjoyable than most. I felt as if I became more mentally stimulated than in
past exercises and this made it easier to become deeply involved in the
exercise. This exercise has also helped me foster a better awareness in my
daily actions and mental states. In meeting this character I have formed a sort
of mental mentor. With this mentor in tow (the back of my mind) throughout the
day I often ask myself what would he do in this situation or my future self
(the me I will achieve through following this mentor).
Next we were asked to explain how the statement “One cannot
lead where one has not gone himself” in our own beliefs. To me this is simple I
look upon this statement as a great tool to help push us to experience all we
can, as we cannot wish to make good decisions with no knowledge or experience.
There will be many situations in life were we will need to decide to lead (teach)
or follow (learn). If we are able to understand we are in the follow stage, we
can grow and learn as an individual and better ourselves and those who we wish
to help.
All these experiences from this week (tandem journey,
statements) can effect myself and my career as they remind me I am not the only
person that is effected by my actions and I must always be aware of how others
will view and live with the results. In my career I must not be ignorant to my inexperience’s
and know that my clients deserve the best they can get. I must also understand
that not everyone will have the same views as me, and be empathetic of this
factor.
