Assume Nothing and Embrace Light




"Your assumptions are your windows
on the world.  Scrub them off every
once in a while or the light won't come in."
Isaac Asimov

The day can be filled with assumptions which are conjectured up and not based on fact.  These hypothetical acceptances can play havoc in our day, especially if we stick to a strict routine.  On the other hand, these detours from presumed events may unwittingly lead us to the unexpected.

One wrong turn and we happen to drive by a rental sign for a new dwelling place we have long searched for.   We are upset by the untimeliness of our lunch date, but become acquainted with a lone person at the next table who over time becomes an influential business adviser.  We have unenthusiastically attended a workshop assuming it would bore us to death, but our creative juices become stirred and we are on a new road filled with passion.

When we begin to feel disconnected or experience life as boring, let us clean assumptions from our view and begin to enjoy the world with color filled vision.  No matter where we find ourselves physically, we can always alter the experience through unfiltered light.  We will begin to see new color, depth, and perspectives.
