Mottos and Living
My motto has always been "expect the unexpected always". It has been a way to prepare for anything and everything. Why? Am I afraid that something really weird is going to happen? perhaps it is just a habit that I have conditioned myself to be ready. You could say that it is a monumental waste of energy, preparing for disasters or surprises that never appear. Maybe it is a fear of being unable to react when a reaction is necessary. Whatever it is, it is a part of me. It must be examined and changed to meet with the circumstances under which I now live. Easier said than done. All of us have things within us that we must re-evaluate to see if they help us with our lives or if they hinder our growth and development. We change, we grow, we live. This journey we are on challenges our beliefs, our perspective of the world and the things around us. It is easy to stay like a locked door and ignore the knocking outside. That does not help us to understand other people or ourselves. Encountering others challenges us to examine ourselves and our beliefs. When we talk to others we get a different perspective, we might not agree with it but it shows us that there are other ways of doing things, living and seeing the world. Being able to face differences is not difficult, to learn from the differences and respect them as being valid is one of the greatest challenges that Humanity has today. Unlock the door, by keeping it closed you are only diminshing your opportunities for friendship ,understanding and building a bridge between cultures. We all share this planet we live on. We need to learn to work together.

Look Around
Spring is a wonderful time for the awakening of the imagination. Nature is reviving after winter's break. If you look there are many things going on around you. Stop and take a look, wherever you are. Often we are in rush and do not really see what is happening because we are in a hurry to get to work, school or an appointment. This shuts us out from experiencing the world around us. By slowing down a little bit or stopping for a while you might see something you never noticed before. A chipmunk scurrying up a tree, something new on a building you walk by everyday. Open yourself up and see what is going on. You will be surprised!
