Know Who You Are and Do What You Can Can it really be that simple? With all of the challenges we face in our daily lives-both at home and out in the world--it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. But what if each one of us-yes, including you-has a unique role to play in creatively solving these problems? The Hummingbird Principle is about peeling back the layers of who you have been, who you think you should be, and what you think you can and cannot do to discover the authentic self that wants to express itself through you. Inspired by an Indigenous story retold by Michael Nicoll Yahgolanaas in his book The Little Hummingbird, in which a little hummingbird responds to a forest fire by doing exactly what she is equipped to do, one drop at a time, The Hummingbird Principle invites readers on a journey of self-discovery. It draws on the spiritual philosophy known as anthroposophy to paint a picture of how individuals unfold over the course of their lives, and how the events of one's life weave themselves together into a unified fabric known as one's biography. The chapters are organized around the archetypes of the seven classical planets-Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn-connecting them to developmental phases and to examples from culture, philosophy, psychology, music, and more. With practical exercises throughout, you will begin to reconnect with yourself in order to reconnect with your loved ones and the world around you. No matter the size of your challenges, this book will provide you with fresh perspectives and a framework for approaching life with renewed enthusiasm.
