“Instead of worrying what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” Roy T. Bennett
Irrespective Of What Others Might Think Is your life compartmentalised, a series of snapshots reassembled to look as if something is happening, in the way that others think a life should be happening, or have you reordered your understanding, embracing the long view, encompassing a stretching, an elasticising of time perception so that everything is a part of a whole, and the whole is a unity, a seamless flow of energy, irrespective of what others might think?

Excellent, but then it is the only way to go. In my imagination, if everyone did it, then the world would be transformed.

So true, Paul! If anyone always looks at the reaction of others, he will forgot to act for himself. Like Liz wrote, the long perspective is more helpful. xx Michael

Beautifully put! I’m longing for the second part and it ebbs and flows, sometimes I think I’ve got it and then it drifts away again but I won’t give up, because it’ll be worth it in the long run!
Needed to read this today, thanks Paul.
