"The challenge is not to wait for something to inspire awe but to look as if we have never seen, listen as if we have never heard,and be alert to aromas as if we have never breathed them in before". Paul Pearsall,PH.D. Awe,The Delights & Dangers of Our 11th Emotion.
"Your beliefs act like filters on a camera,changing how you see the world. And your biology adapts to those beliefs. When we truly recognize that our beliefs are powerful, we hold the key to freedom." Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.
We all wait to be inspired, but it rarely arises spontneously. In my life experience, it has taken strength,openness and a willingness to learn about ourselves. It takes a great deal of self-awareness. How has our past shaped who and where we are? Can we recognize negative behavior patterns that are self-defeating? There are resources to help us.
How many of us really know who we are? Do you know your underlying beliefs that trigger your unconscious to make decisions automatically? When did you last ask ourself: What does my heart want? We can quite literally be frozen in time ... held hostage by our past without understanding how it controls our lives.
