Humility

Many lessons in life I learnt from the stories people shared with me in their therapy. It is always a privilege to hold space and be a part of another persons journey of self reflection. People who have overcome difficult pasts and who persevere and live meaningful lives.

I am conscious of the fact that there is still so much I have to learn in life. I think of the mythological story of Icarus who was puffed up in his own arrogance and he was told not to fly too close to the sun. But he was stubborn and he continued despite the warning. The wax on his fake wings melted and they fell apart. Humility is accepting that as a fellow human being, you are not really better than anyone else. We are all fallible and capable of making mistakes and of overcoming difficult circumstances.

Starting over is rebuilding. But this time with the insight from lessons learnt.

Be open to feedback and failure and keep moving forward.
