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

Target expectations and experiences

My son went to soccer try-outs today. For me, the soccer try-out signals the start of the soccer season, and of the new year proper. The first few weeks of the school year are behind us, and my little ones are getting into a routine.  A rhythm. It feels like the year is stretching out before me, the commencement of a consistent blur. The feeling that this year is already lining up like last year. That it is going to be the same. That the time is going to compress. It feels like the same conversations are already being had. How was your holidays? Good, and yours? Yeah it was good. The mechanical rote of disengaged answers.

If the start is already veering off from the experience destination I want to get to, then now is the time to adjust the course.  I don't want to sit in the backseat and buy into a year wit...

Beach

Officially the first day of autumn. Apparently no one told Sydney. Today was glorious, and the only thing to do on a glorious Saturday is beach. Not just any beach. THE beach. Bondi Beach. So we went.  And swam.  And walked. And swam some more. Glorious days are beach days. And today was a glorious day done well.

Hot kitchens

If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen  It's an interesting saying. Heat is a feature of a kitchen. Sometimes it gets hot. You could say it's the price of playing. This analogy of hot kitchens was originally quipped by a US political candidate, Harry Truman, who went on to be the US President. The idea suggests that some environments have immutable qualities which must be accepted as 'the way that it is', and that if one was to enter into such an environment, one could not complain that such features were unfair. However, what happens if the heat of the kitchen, which is implied to be an uncontrollable characteristic of the environment, is artificially altered?  A nefarious type who was able to influence seemingly uncontrollable characteristics could change the environment, prepare in advance and use the knowledge to their advantage. A nefarious type who had a bad temper and implied that said behaviour was an uncontrollable feature of personality and ...
