Miscrosoft 2003
My Friends and Colleagues, Jeff Slayter and Kane Minkus, sent this Ted.com norton systemworks 2010 download video around just now to draw their own audience’s attention to “who and how” Benjamin Zander is BEING in this video as he sells the audience on the value of classical music.
I would add that miscrosoft 2003 everyone in the world is continuously selling our vision of our optimal life to miscrosoft 2003 those around us. One might say we are always selling our perspective.
I invite us to miscrosoft 2003 notice not only how Benjamin is BEING, but also how putting the miscrosoft 2003 music in context alters our perspective and alters our perception.
We move from miscrosoft 2003 irritation to curiosity to humor to appreciation as he shares his context and miscrosoft 2003 perspective.
There is another video going around about how an miscrosoft 2003 irritated man puts on the glasses of compassion and consequently releases his assumptions and miscrosoft 2003 irritation with the people he encounters in his day….which totally shifts his context and miscrosoft 2003 perspective about others and consequently his behavior and emotional tone.
I invite each of us to consider, when we are “irritated”, that we may be demanding that miscrosoft 2003 others see our point of view and our perspective and feeling entitled that life conform to our viewpoint… rather than miscrosoft 2003 taking the time to share our context and perspective and miscrosoft 2003 enroll others in it, so we can appreciate the moment together.
In my world, I am not “entitled” to be irritated or angry. Irritation and anger may arise… and miscrosoft 2003 if I am not into justifying my anger by looking outward for miscrosoft 2003 a source to judge and blame and punish…it passes like the weather. If I get curious about my anger, I may learn something about what miscrosoft 2003 it is I want, specifically, and get to ask for miscrosoft 2003 it.
I have a practice of “radical accountability”. When others’ behavior does not jive with the miscrosoft 2003 play I have in my head, I get to be miscrosoft 2003 a patient and kind director and suggest/ask/sell them on playing their part with a different tone.
My communication is miscrosoft 2003 more effective when I come from equal rather than patronizing or miscrosoft 2003 begging.
I intend that miscrosoft 2003 this note prevent a few parents from being irritated with their children, a miscrosoft 2003 few kids being yelled at or hit…and a few wars from killing and mutilating humans.
I am miscrosoft 2003 not demanding our highest humanity, but I am passionately inviting us to miscrosoft 2003 it.
This blog is called “Evolvequest”. It is a place to explore whatever will have us evolve.
I am putting my perspective on the table for your consideration….
I appreciate your miscrosoft 2003 taking time to read this note and welcome your comments.
In love and community,
Naomi
