Climbing your ladder! Great Blog Reg.
The first thing that came to my mind was; how often do I climb a ladder, frantically focused on the next step, rather than, how did I decide to climb that particular ladder, and against this particular wall. Looking around can really help, as well, notice the surroundings, is it safe to climb that ladder right now?
Would it help if someone was holding it for you? Sometimes we may find ourselves so determined to achieve a goal without checking if it actually fits in with not only our values, also of those around us, something like ‘The ecology’.
I also have noticed that I sometimes have already achieved so many things, and a polite reminder of this helps, remember the journey…. When I look back at where I have come from, I realise I sometimes have a ladder proped up agianst a wall, which actually I have climbed before, and therefore do not necessarily have to climb again. I see my values as the central hub for my goals, if I am clear on my values, the goals almost become a tactical aspect of achieving the values.
I now feel I am stepping into the world of babbling, so thanks Reg for a yet again brilliant blog!

I especially like the thought ‘would it help if someone was holding the ladder for you?’
For many of us (especially men), when it comes to goals and values, the old childhood admonition to ‘be a man – stand on your own two feet!’ can get in the way of realising that we may part of a couple or of a family and that there is this Relationship Ecology thing to take into account…
