I am really enjoying this book, I am connecting with the author. i am sure I heard this in other arena's however I am getting it now. Maybe I'm just ready now and she happens to be the right author at the right time.
The latest thing is about perception, studies have been done about it and how we each perceive the same thing. Google gorilla on a basketball court and perception, and check it out for yourself.
Anyway so perception is all about what a person sees and interprets this does not necessarily have anything to do with me. With this in mind I find myself being able to detach emotionally from situations easier (I am not Vulcan of course) and try to look at a situation from their perspective.
I'v heard this a million times but I just had a full on aaahaah moment, yes the light finally flipped on.
