Signs of Sanity

Earlier today I was on a conference call of the Steering Committee for an international charity called More to Life.  I’ve been involved with the work of the organisation since 2001, and its principles inform a lot of my work.

As is often the case with charities and not-for-profits the people who give their time can wear more than one hat at any one time.  So on this call we were having a laugh as I was actioned as the Chair to talk to myself, as one of its trainers.

To the question, “Are you able to talk to yourself Louise?” I rejoined, “Well, I often do!”.

Letitia who was on the call said, “Actually, talking to yourself is the first sign of sanity.”   There was a pause, as the rest of us took on the essential truth of her words.

Far from being nuts to address ourselves, it is required if we are to access that deep wisdom each one of us has.
