Feel Free To Change Your Mind

I remember once at College, when a teacher grabbed a piece of paper with a red dot right in the center and asked the class what we were seeing. In a consense, everybody answered "just a red dot". And then she asked us if we were sure. For minutes we tried to find another answer, but we couldn't do nothing, but stare straight to the red dot.

With a big smile in her face she asked "what about the huge white space. Can see that?". Off course, someone said. But why all the time we were just concentrated in the red dot?

Well, obviously it might have an scietific answer behind it, but once you relate this test to your life, you can see how we tend to do the same. Aren't we wasting time staring at problemas while we have gaps to be filled in with positive stuff?

Something I learned years ago reading about Neuro-linguistic programming, is how we waste so much energy just creating obstacles to solutions, or simply resistence to a postive life, when we should be doing the oposite.

But why can't we just be positive straight away? Because we've been building our thoughts and signs our whole life till this moment, but luckely this can be changed simply by deconstructing them.

"I am not pessimist, just realist". Well, like Albert Eisten said "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one". There's no such thing as reality, but a sequence of different concepts and rules we addopt as real. This way, we are able to change it whenever we want.

Before moving to Holland I always thought living abroad was an exclusive privilege to fortunate people, but after moving in, I think it is possible to everyone. Reality took a new form.

Possibilities, action, sucess and happiness are products of perspective, and it's up to you to choose how you see them.

Today I'd like to share these thoughts and invite you to reflect and watch your thoughts. Are you colaborating or just being a rock in your path? Is it really someone else's fault, or you are also guilty for not getting what you want? Don't tell yourself things you wouldn't like to hear from someone else. Cheer you up as if you didn't have problems. When you change the way you see life, life will change your ways too and which road are you willing to take? the good or hard one?

Thanks for reading,
