Your lens

In the past few weeks i have started to see something about life that is true for everyone.  I have come to learn that life is not always as it seems.  This life is truly about what lens you look though.  God gave us an amazing mind and an amazing brain.  we have a system in our brain called the reticulating access system or as david wood calls it the ras.  This ras pulls the things out of unconscious thought to conscious thought.  david did a great job in describing it as our secret service.  The secret service doesn't look for people cheering for the president they look for people that may harm him.  That is because they are trained that way.  So it is with our ras system if we train it to see the bad in the world it will but if we train it to see the positive in the situation it will bring that to conscious thought.  This system has a lot to do with our happiness in any situation.  I am so programmed to look at the negative that almost every situation i find the negative.  There was a point in my life that almost every day i would have a mental breakdown about some situation anything that was change would freak me out.  With the knowledge about the ras system i have learned to take chances.  Some of them are awesome and i am so glad that i have made them.  Some i am glad i did them but my are they a learning experience.  in everything in life there is a lesson and as i have said in the past learn your lesson and you will get your blessing.  This ras system is so important to your success and your happiness.  

Take for example myself.  I am truly an entrepreneur in my spirit i crave to have freedom in my life and want the ability to be with my kids whenever i can and to work hard when i am not with them.  That being said in the past few months i have had a few opportunities to start a small business come my way from a lot of people.   But since my ras is set up to see the way it will fail i have let those things go.  i am changing my ras which is a slow process thanks to some of the behaviors i have learned it is changing in a lot of ways.  but that ras has kept me safe which is its job but the juicy part of life is not lived in the safe it is lived in the unknown out of the comfort zone.  

i am so thankful for the lessons i have learned in that past few months and thankful for the people in my life and the ones leaving and coming.  each person has taught me lessons.  I am not perfect i have my bad days but like david says why does it have to be a bad day how about just a bad few minutes.  

My next project is to work on my sacrificing for others before myself and make myself number one in life.  cause when you love yourself to put yourself first you will love others more deeply and be more authentic which creates deeper relationships which creates a KICK ASS LIFE
