HURRICANE KATRINA/RITA –
LEARNING OPPORTUNITY TEN: APPLY MY VALUES
Look at your life as you are living it now and as you would see it from the perspective of the values that you have identified. What are you doing that is not truly important to you and what are you doing that truly is? Are you giving that which is truly important the emphasis and time that is appropriate or is your time and emphasis going to that which is not truly important in disproportionate measure? If you see something that needs to be changed, experiment now with changing it. If you realize that the people you are with, for example, are more important than the things you have, then begin to pay more attention to the people and less attention to the things. Keep your life in balance. It is appropriate to have a home that is well-ordered and to your liking. It is appropriate to have the systems in your life functioning properly but what is the use of them if the people who are important to you are not there?
Ask yourself questions such as these. Apply what you have learned. Begin to use your experiences of the great suffering on the Gulf Coast to improve yourself. If you do not use your experiences to improve yourself, you squander them, and you do not harvest their potential. There is an enormous learning potential for every individual who is a part of this experience whether it is an individual who has been displaced, or languished in the heat on a freeway in the sun with no food or shade, or whether it is someone on the other side of the globe from the Gulf Coast of the United States looking at this suffering. Learn from it and from what you learn change your life. When you do that your experience and their suffering will not have been in vain.
