Response to Encounter

 


"Things do not change. We change."
Henry David Thoreau

What do we want to call that inner dark spot of ourselves? Do we say spirit, soul, heart, divine, ego ... the list could go on. But this tight spot within monitors all of the energy extending from us, coming into us, or simply being still. It is this source within that determines change. Change is a reaction we choose in response to all that is around un.

We may choose change based on self-doubt, fear, or creative passion. Reactions are determined not by what we encounter, but how we respond to the encounter. The presentation can be of a positive nature or an impulsive negative nudge, but neither will be activated unless we individually choose.

If we do not choose, then life might be happening to us. Doing nothing is a response and our life itself is an animation not reality. Perhaps a good point to start is to ask our lovely selves why we are not choosing? What we have drawn to us may be totally unstimulating or defeating. Perhaps it is time to change the channel ... look for new scenarios, now.
