That Nagging Bush

Yes, the admonishment: Stop and smell the roses." has been around since man became obsessively and exclusively focused and bound to one set of activities. The modern world (the last few thousand years) accentuates this through all forms of specialization.

The idea that we can have a richer life by experiencing more of the NOW almost seems trivial but we are more in need to heed than ever.

Waiting for Godot...

Of the 86,400 seconds in a day... how many do you experience as NOW? How does that work for you?

How important is NOW compared to your memory of the experience? It might surprise you to know that your memory is far weightier and different from the nature of the experience itself.

So how do you make the most of "being"?

Small Is Beautiful - If You Remember It!

Our interactions with the world are numerous and mostly fleeting. How can you take advantage of "being" when most of the time your not?

There are only a few keys to mastering your experience and creating more positive value in your life. The rest of TRR will focus on two areas in particular: developing your senses and choosing your perspective.

Training the Troops

Just because you have many senses doesn't mean you use them. It certainly doesn't mean you master them!

We are not indoctrinated or educated to make the most of our senses. We may be admonished for misusing and abusing them or letting them languish i.e. back to "the roses".

Most, if not all, of our "learning" is a poorly scripted sensory experiences. Thanks you all for the pain and pleasure but few of those interactions were focused on culturing these lifelong friends.

Dear Lady Godiva...

Perspective is a highly developed image of expectation stimulated by bits of experience. How is it that we can create a robust perspective. It certainly doesn't come about though the admonition of "be open"!

It is not simply a leap of faith that cultures a greater knowing of the world. It is more a mix of orientation, preparation, experiment, discernment and evaluation that affords perceptual change.

Don't Be a Sisyphus

It is easier to slip someone in a hole than push them up a hill.

The aim of change is a new state. Even if that state appears to be the opposite of your current condition, there is no simple way to "just do the opposite!"

Informing your senses will include developing a greater understanding and experience of your physiology to emotions to feeling chain. This is a wondrous process that creates and sheds light on what it means to be in the NOW.

The nurturing of perspective is no less exciting. That same sensing chain will be extended to include how your think, behave and attain goal or get "results."

This journey will focus on the "adjacent possible" those areas that afford your growing understanding and acceptance of your self and the World.

On with the show!
