Support


Conversations with The Archer at work about how we only exist as a unit. We are much more powerful as a company, when we all pull together. This togetherness allows us to be able to move forward as a collective in the desired direction. Working together requires understanding and trust. I always happy for independent initiative but not with the exclusion of thinking about others in the team.

The Archer and I wondered if it was immaturity as he, Gandalf and I are the old people in the building. Maturity cannot be forced. Sometimes people are not ready and the readiness can only come with age.

Maturity is what makes you react with the appropriate emotion or behaviour to what is happening around you. We all have lapses when we revert. Certain emotions can force reverting and the inner child reappears. Nothing triggers old childhood wounds and shitty behaviours like workmates who drive us potty. I suppose because we cannot always choose who we work with. Workmates can have as much as an affect on us as our family can have, another set of relationships we can't choose.

Maturity comes in different ways and in different guises. Anytime you are responsible for something, someone, then you begin to mature. Especially if things do not always go according to plan.

I am off to mother as Gandalf is at the coalface.
