You must be prepared to act on your dreams...
just in case they do come true."

"Its all in the way you think about people that often determines their behaviour."

This is truly an inspiring video! I have to change the way I see people in order for their behaviour to change. It is all in who I am being that defines who people are for me.

Pathways to Mastery

I've been listening to Wayne Dyer being interviewed by Michael Toms of New
Dimensions. The thing that interested me the most is the 4 pathways to mastery which are Discipline, Wisdom, Unconditional Love and Surrender.

As he explains it, traditional education only involves the first two, Discipline & Wisdom. To reach mastery requires to reach beyond "Knowing & Doing" into the realm of "Being." I was surprised to hear that reaching the level of mastery involves surrendering. Surrendering myself to accepting that I am one with the universe and one with all.

When Dr. Dyer quotes Michelangelo's famous quote, it makes perfect sense
-

"David was already in there I just chipped away the excess."

So to relate this to my life. When I'm designing & I have an urgency or 'need' to get the design done nothing happens. I just can't do it - I could be sitting there for hours and the design just does not flow.

But when I 'let go' of the need - I put loud music and just let my hand sketch away & not force an outcome - The ideas flows and the design just comes out. Surrendering to what is inside of me and letting it flow out is what I am getting from Dr. Dyer's words.

Not forcing it out but just letting it be what it needs to be.
