A video I created …

When was the last time you sat down and had a serious look at yourself. Have you thought about where you are in life in a quiet place? The problem is when you do think about your position in life it depends on the mood you are in, the time of day, the people you are around.

I like to use the analogy of the mind being like the ocean. On the surface the winds cause a lot of movement back and forth but just beneath the surface there is a great calm. This is really how we all are on the surface most of the time unless we dive down deep within ourself and meet the calm . If you are serious about measuring your outlook on life, your whole world, try a little ‘Google search’ on yourself now and then later when a change is felt. Nobody can do this search for you so it is infallible in that sense. If you write down the first words that come into your mind and keep them until you do another ’search’ at a later date it can be interesting. Always remember that all you are searching for is your perspective on life, change your perspective and change your life.

A little search may go like this example:

                       Search (name) mind:                         Results:

                                 Love                 -                     my car

                                 Hate                 -                    dog next door

                                Fear                 -                    boss at work

                                Family               -                     always fighting

                                Home                -                   needs to be bigger

                                Likes                 -                    ice cream

If you want to change, you will and it will show in your answers next time. The family may still be fighting but you may realize it is only one member trying to get more attention not the family as a whole. Your boss may not be that bad and your house is big enough just not as big as your friends. You haven’t met the neighbours dog so he was barking at you. You may still love your car…

Try to get away from the surface of your ocean and dive down a little.
