Jenny´s last blog post..Not My Omega

@Dayflyer – That’s exactly the message I’m looking to get across, so thank you for seeing it as such. What one person sees as dizzy, or maybe confusing (going around in circles) – another sees as fun! Children really do so well with this – they don’t have all the baggage we have acquired that leads to our perceptions – they just “do”! And that’s a great way to look at life! Thanks so much for stopping by!

@Cricket – Good for you, Tammy – on living more in the moment! And I’m so glad you continued back to the beginning – to where you are today. You are a blessing – and not only for your children – you touch lives every day – including mine.

Life is all about how we look at it. A perception.

Asking is the only solution ‘what does that mean for you?’ is a good way of making sure that, even though you have different realities, you’re sharing words you both agree the meaning of to describe them.

I agree with Robin that children are much better at avoiding preconceptions, living in, and accepting the moment – and quickly getting over their disappointments and moving on. This is a part of childhood I’d love to be able to access more frequently.

This really made me think. Although I am an extremely open person I still have certain preconceived notions arise in certain situations. Usually only situation similar to what you describe here. My sweetheart was just called for jury duty and had to attend an afternoon session where they educate on judicial procedures. I immediately got wigged out thinking. “Oh dear, am I going to have to go through 4 hours of this at some point? I hate this sort of things, blan blah blah.” Then this morning I heard a voice in my head say, Robin you are just going to have shift your perception or at least not go into it with a preset notion of what it’s going to be like (IF, IF, IF I even am called in at all). I am going to remember this post…I just know it…and I will draw on it in future situations like this.

While reading this post I also thought about children who, more often than not, have no preconceived notion of what something is going to be like. So they tend to stay only in the present moment. I am this way with most things, but occasionally something like what you describe here will arise.

Thank you for being such a clear thinking and honest voice. Just wonderful Lance. I love how you see right to the heart of the matter on these core issues. Very exciting. I revel in it.

As always sending you a big hug and lots of respect for the person you are choosing to be. Very amazing to see. Robin

@Avtcoach – That’s an excellent point Avtcoach. Sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know. So our perceptions are limited to what we know – until we can see this something differently – maybe through experience, or maybe through others. And maybe that avoids some of the vertigo!!! Thanks much for this thought. And COURAGE…you’re helping for me to keep this word in my forefront – so thank you for that also!!

@Christine – Looking back, it’s interesting to look at how we used to perceive things. And how off-base that was. Hey, I think that does show we are growing, learning, becoming more aware. Whether that’s from just being more aware, or from the studying we’ve done – the fact that we’re moving in positive directions is what is pretty awesome. Here’s to enlightenment!! I love that thought Christine!

@Alik – Well, that’s another good point. Sometimes, we just can’t change perspective – and that’s okay, as long as we can move on.

@Mark Salinas – You too, my friend!

@Suddenly Slimmer – Hi Alia! We CAN change our perception – thanks for sharing that!

@Lori – Good point! It’s like we’re going in circle, and spinning in other directions also. And how does that affect our perspective? Interesting thought Lori, thanks!
