Keeping the big picture in view

One of the ways we can add meaning to our lives is to make the connections between what we’re doing and the ‘big picture’ stuff that’s really important to us.  (And making changes – now – if we find we’ve lost the plot as to where we’re going.)  That might include checking in with your longer term goals from time to time.  Or lifting your eyes from the immediate path and looking ahead to the bigger panorama.

There’s a lovely reminder of this at Embody Coaching.  They have an amazing ability to use visuals – the range of mountain peaks in this example – to connect with our creative, right brain mind.  And get us wondering, reflecting, on where we’re going and what kind of big picture we’re creating, what kind of story we’re telling.

I’ve been lucky enough this year to make some creative connections between my holiday plans and my long term ‘gotta get goals’.  I’m off again now for a fortnight (fingers crossed) in Skye, to do two weeks of beginner’s Gaelic at the Gaelic college (Sabhal Mor Ostaig).  I know it’ll be fun.  And I’ll also enjoy the knowledge that the learning connects – somehow, in a way I don’t yet understand – with the rest of the journey I’m on.

No idea if I’ll have access (easy or otherwise) to the Internet while I’m away, so forgive me if posting and commenting is sporadic for the next couple of weeks
