Perspective = experience

How important is perspective in my experience of life?

I've been collecting quotes that shift my perspective and help me remember how powerful my choices to make life experience amazing. 

People say amazing things, and I will attribute when I know who said it....

Is this a great opportunity disguised as an impossible situation?
Joe Dispenza

Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Jim Rohn

If you don't like the answers, ask better questions. Tony Robbins 

Forgiving does not change another's past, it changes your future

If you want the best from the world you need to give the world your best.

If you are still alive, you still have an opportunity to choose direction.

There are many ways to move forward, and only one way to stand still.

Don't let the complainers and the excuse makers change you or make you quit

Spend time with those who want to win

Pay attention to those people who don't clap when you win.

Treat people well

Don't listen to the negative ones

Don't worry about what others say

The sun will come up tomorrow

Things will be like they have always been

Don't worry about making mistakes. You learn by screwing up.

Get a hero who lights your fire.

Always be positive. Except never. 

Don't wait for the stars to align. Reach up and create your own constellation 

Dig the well before you get thirsty. Jordan Harbinger

In your life, there are people who can really help you, and people who could really use your help.

Challenges are opportunities in costume. Simon Lange

Handstands

I’m waiting for a coffee on a Saturday morning, standing next to the counter in a suburban shopping centre. Around the corner comes a Mum with three spirited children. The impact of the small family on the shopping centre energy is palpable. The children are full of life, and the mother has her hands full as the little troupe, aged five, four and three, I estimate, engage with everything with energetic gusto. ‘No running’, Mum says to Mr 4, as a four-year-old energetic boy goes tearing past me. Mum turns around to see the three-year-old walking slowly behind. ‘Come on’, she says to Mr 3, coaxing the littlest one to quicken his pace. Distracted from the older members of the troupe for a few short moments, Mum turns around and sees Mr 4 doing a cool breakdance style handstand in the middle of the shopping centre floor. ‘No handstands’, Mum says. She does not see the coolness in Mr 4’s handstand.  Mr 3, however, is visibly impressed and cannot resist the call of acr...

When days become years

The 2nd of March.  In a couple of weeks, I will commence another lap around the sun. So it brings with it a moment of reflection. Perhaps more than a moment.... How is my experience of the year that has been? Wins... New job New mindset, and stepping up. Awareness of my health and wellbeing, and action towards higher sense of health and wellbeing. Letting go of the little things Engaging the big things, the important things Getting to know the difference between little things and big things, realising them earlier and more consciously, and having the courage to take decisive action. Facing my personal history and family trauma Losses... Innocence of early fatherhood  Pretending to be nice (not really a loss) As I reflect on the year that is to come, I'm filled with excitement and enthusiasm. I feel I am in the right place, and the right time is 'getting ripe'. I trust that I will know the time and have the courage to step when the time and place are right.

Chapter 2

Not again, she thinks to herself. And then the stairwell begins to lose its composition. Damn she says. It's early.  She grips the balustrade, knowing that it's useless. In the realisation, grips harder and closes her eyes.  This, at least, is helpful. The visual experience was harrowing the first time. It still is, but at least this time it is somewhat expected and 'normal'. Remembers the first time, it must have been 3 months ago now. Was sitting at a cafe in her home town, the smell of fresh waffles thick in the morning air, mixed with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Ethiopian, she knows. Pip and Pup was a weird name, but the coffee was to die for. The light has been different, that morning, and she wonders how it might have been different if she had not needed to use the bathroom at Pip and Pups.  She had walked down the passage past the kitchen, and the passage seem to stretch out and bend to the right. Even though she had screamed loud, no one paid any attenti...
