portant. So correct me if I’ m wrong, but it sounds like one of the things that you are focused on and excited about and applying, it’ s basically just helping people. This is going to sound probably way too simplistic, but basically helping people know themselves, and create their life on purpose, intentionally, and be at peace with God. I know those are generic phrases.
K- Yeah they are, but it’ s powerful. We just don’ t see the power in it. The power of awareness is huge. We are doing things all the time that we are just completely unaware of.
D- Give me some examples.
K- OK, say somebody cut me off in traffic. My natural inclination may be irritation and blame toward them. I may feel like a victim, be frustrated, and believe there’ s nothing I can do about these feelings. It’ s just a reflex to feel powerless and angry, right? And for seconds, minutes, hours, or even days, depending on your emotional maturity, you’ re going to be holding that negative emotion. And if you are unaware, those things happen every day. You think that’ s
a normal part of life. When you become aware you start to realize that what you expect of people is the experience you’ re going to create, regardless of what happens to you. You’ re going to realize that you’ re never a victim, you’ re never powerless, there’ s always something that you can do, you get to choose how you feel, you get to choose how you think and believe about yourself and others. And that is where the core of our life comes from, the creation of our life. How we feel. Become AWARE, do things for different reasons, and look through a different lens. You’ ll change everything and get a new perspective on life.
D- I like the language you’ re using, that’ s fascinating. I think people will really latch onto that.
K- Ha ha, good! They’ ll be happy if they do.
