The Gestalt prayer is a statement by psychotherapist **Fritz Perls** that is taken as a classic expression of **Gestalt therapy** as a way of life model¹. The prayer is: **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.** The prayer reflects the philosophy of personal independence and self-responsibility that is central to Gestalt therapy. It also suggests that fulfilling one's own needs can help others do the same and create space for genuine contact².
