choose a perspective that creates more options
OK, last day of the week… a wonderful week that has been dedicated to me sharing thoughts, ideas and stories from one of my favorite books Beyond Illusions. Yesterday someone sent me a link to an online video of the author and speaker Brad Barton which I was unaware of previously. It’s a fun clip and in it he shares shortened versions of some of the stories in the book. TO view it click HERE.
Let’s end the week with even more content from Beyond Illusions … the Magical Power of Positive Perception. (And thank you all for all of your blog responses and e-mails this week.)

Believe in magic. Not rabbits coming out of hats magic, but real magic - magic that comes out of challenging our interpretations of reality and exercising our power to choose a perspective that creates more options than might first appear. ~ Brad Barton
This requires our accepting the idea that our immediate interpretations of our circumstances may not be accurate. Are you open to the idea that your interpretations of every day ordinary circumstances - even apparent disasters - are probably inaccurate and therefore limiting? If so, you open yourself to wonderful possibilities based on the fact that a situation - even a very disastrous situation - could be your finest hour. ~ Brad Barton
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. — Albert Szent-Györgyi
