Keynote
The point of transition between struggle and liberation.
Collective Perspective
A love of work, combined with the willpower to exert oneself, one naturally takes on the role of provider within a tribal or communal structure. To successfully sustain this role, and continue to look after the needs of others, it is vital that one’s work is successful and appreciated, and that one is part of a healthy, dynamic and functional structure. This is the basis of the bargain, as one’s willingness to provide depends on the loyalty, appreciation and support of those one cares for.
The ability to work depends on willpower, which only takes one so far. It is crucial to maintain healthy boundaries and take time alone, away from interdependent dynamics, in order to recuperate.
Personal Perspective
Here we find a love of work, and you have the willpower to work long and hard. You naturally take on the role of provider within a tribal or communal structure, and to contribute to or look after the needs of those within your family or community. At the same time, you need sufficient rest, as your ability to work depends on your willpower, which can only take you so far.
You need time alone, to be able to step away for certain periods from the dynamics of interdependence that form the communal structure you are part of. Be sure to maintain healthy boundaries and to get the rest and time alone you need to recuperate. To successfully sustain the role of provider, it is vital that you are part of a healthy dynamic structure with those who depend on you, and that your work is satisfactory and appreciated by others. This is the basis of the bargain; your willingness to provide depends on the loyalty, appreciation and support of those you provide for.
