What do you see?  Maybe you see a flat plane folded in on itself; or a sea creature; or colored, short, sharp pencils glued together. Whatever you see and experience is affected by your perception made up of past experiences, knowledge, emotional state, and physiology. Art is compelling because it expands perception and stimulates our emotions and our curiosity.

What are you experiencing in your life, career, work, or relationships? Your perception is affecting  that experience in much the same way as your experience of the art piece. If you see your situation as a struggle, impossible to change, difficult, or frustrating ... that's what you'll experience.

It is a mixed blessing, this "being responsible" thing. It means we need to let go of being "at the effect of" circumstances and embrace the fact that we are "at the cause of" how we perceive what happens in life. Are we responsible for the state of the economy in 2010? NO. Do we have a choice about how to respond to that circumstance? I believe we do.

Look at the photo again and notice your perceptions. How can you apply this to your situation today?

Take Charge -- Get Moving!
