We feel a special connection to some places. But what does that actually mean? And how does such a relationship differ from one with a person?

Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Inner Developmental Goals 3 - RELATIONSHIP

As humans, we are born in need of help. Other living beings are capable of survival from birth; we depend on other people to feed us or protect us from cold and heat. And we organize the world so that it benefits and protects us. The fact that we are social, intelligent, and adaptable beings is our recipe for success.

Living together is (not) a stroke of luck. Look for examples from your own life where this coexistence works well. And consider how the attitudes and feelings below contribute to this.

(1) Appreciation
Approach others and the world with a fundamental sense of appreciation, gratitude, and joy.
(2) Connectedness
A strong sense of being connected to or part of a larger whole, such as a community, humanity, or a global ecosystem.
(3) Humility
Being able to act in accordance with the needs of the situation without concern for one's own importance.
(4) Empathy and Compassion
The ability to treat others, oneself, and nature with kindness, empathy, and compassion, and to cope with the associated suffering.

Even if your first glance at this point is at the lake with its dead trees:
It is definitely worth taking a look at the narrow watercourse opposite the lake. You can spot lots of frogs and dragonflies here!

As we know, Rome wasn't built in a day. And especially not by a single person. The region's man-made "mountains" also prove that many things can only be achieved together.

Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Internal Development Goals 4 - COOPERATION

Collaboration needs to be learned and practiced. Especially when success depends on different people, perspectives, and skills. We ourselves are (only) a part of these.

Especially when it comes to large projects and goals, we cannot be successful alone. What example from your own life comes to mind? And how have the following aspects of cooperation contributed to this?

(1) Communication
What do others think? And what do I mean? How do we deal with contradictions?
(2) Co-creation
How can decisions be made in a way that satisfies those involved?
(3) Integration
How can different perspectives and skills be taken into account to improve the outcome? (4) Trust
How can I trust others, especially when I'm insecure? And how can others trust me, especially when they're insecure?
(5) Activation
How do we inspire each other with ideas and goals? And how do we get on our feet and start taking action?
