gestalt prayer


a 56-word statement, originally written by psychotherapist fritz perls, that serves as a way of life model for many who live or seek to live outside the influence of the status quo. the “prayer” has since become synonymous with individualism and peaceful rebellion. it gets its name from a specialized form of therapy called gestalt therapy, a brand of therapy which dr. perls helped to create.

the “prayer” can be found below:
i do my thing and you do your thing.
i am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
and you are not in this world to live up to mine.
you are you, and i am i, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
if not, it can’t be helped.
