I recently read this book by Dr. Jim Muncy called 'One Door, Two Locks', and I must say it opened my eyes.
I used to think I was always right, about everything, or that all my thoughts and ideas have merit. Not that they don't but he quoted Albert Einstein's observation that the problems we face can't be solved with the same thinking that created them.
So it's Spring cleaning time, filing away all my thoughts in deep folders, properly cross referenced for the future. I am aiming to train myself out of bad habits and into approaching every new thing without preconceived ideas from my deep database of random information. This approach has its flaws too but after preliminary assessments to my attitude toward the project in question, I am going to follow what a great man once said, " God has given us two ears and one mouth, use it in proportion".
It has made me a happier person, humbled by the realization. I am living in today and taking full opportunity of what I have before I move on. I cannot stress the importance of this decision but I strongly feel you must come to the realisation on your own, nothing that you believe in strongly was because you had to believe it.
When you pursue your passion everyday, there is a constant smile on your face, a spring in your step, warm sunshine, enlivened senses, and honestly that is what I am content with.
Until next time....
