"The Art of Possibility" book is
so fascinating and speaks some great truths. It enlightens your mind
and brings about possibilities. In the seventh chapter The Way Things
Are, it speaks about taking a situation and spinning it in a way that is not
like how many have mentioned before. It speaks on how some things cannot be
changed or controlled but one can take their situation and find a solution that
is suitable. This chapter allowed me to look at some of my situations and state
the issue and then I actually finally found a solution. It was like a foggy
storm just cleared up and vanished. Vanished like it never existed. Wow. I
enjoy "aha" moments. Sometimes things are placed in front of you to
provide you with the light you were needing for your darkness.
"Accept the wrong, come to terms with it and then ask what
next." Love it.
As if that was all that brought a bit of clarity. This next
section speaks about clearing your "shoulds". I can't tell you how many times that I have
done what it stated there. I know that I have thought or said, this should be
like this and this should be like that. You become stuck and I have caught
myself doing just that. It takes time to change your thought process but what
great advantages.
The two steps to giving way to passion. I know many have the
problem of enjoying what they are truly desiring. Barriers placed by oneself,
society, family, loved ones, friends, and the so called norm of society, cause
many to withdraw from what brings the most joy to their lives. I most say that
my passion for being a graphic designer was never diminished. I have never felt
like a barrier was placed. So the steps provided in this book are a perfect way
to spark up those flames that have been slightly lit for so long.
"Where is the electric socket
for possibility, the access to the energy of transformation?....... lean our
bodies to the music; dare to let go of the edges of ourselves....
participate" (Zander & Zander, ch8, pg121)
Man, did this hit it on the nose. "lean our bodies to
the music; dare to let go of the edges of ourselves.... participate" I
had to say it again. Listen to that beat and dance like no one is watching. Let
go and enjoy what's in front of you, enjoy the possibilities of life. Holding on
to the shoulda, coulda, woulda brings nothing but an endless wall of barriers.
Let go, Release! "lean our bodies to the music; dare to let go
of the edges of ourselves.... participate" Participate.....
My Response:
Rosa, I
think it’s amazing that you have never felt barriers in your work and yet you
can embrace the need to participate more fully in the dance. Somehow that seems
very insightful to me. It’s so easy to see a lack when you struggle, but when
you’re living your passion and doing well, it’s easy to become complacent. I
love your candor is describing the dimly lit flame. Your blog reminded me that
there is always more…more life to lived, more greatness to be given!
