Sometimes new information and experiences are like discovering dots and then connecting them. Since each experience is run through our own personal filter, each bit of information and each experience has many ways to be interpreted. What I make it mean and what you make it mean may be drastically different. We all connect our dots a little differently.
We each paint our reality with these dots. We gather them, connect them and design our world.
Within this context, how much of this designing is conscious? What sort of realities are people creating? What if I rearranged the dots?
It seems that there are infinite combinations. So how come so many of us paint similar realities? Realities such as: not enough, I'm in a hurry, gotta make it, no one loves me, why me, it's not fair, etc...
I propose that as we grow up learning to paint our realities, we copy the "pictures" we see around us. As a way to fit in. We learn to mimic. Then at some point, most of us start to question the norm. We see that there is something more to life than fitting in. We see something broken within the "system". Some use this glimpse to fight and resist the norm. And others, a growing number, start to reconnect the dots to create their reality with love and intention.
So create! Paint reality in pictures of consciousness. Pictures reflecting what you are committed to. When information comes in, or you experience something, become aware of the dots and the pictures you are creating.
