What do you see when you look at this picture?Or this one?
The world is not always what we think at first glance.
We trust our senses to get us through life. One wrong move and we will be trying out wings on the other side. Our common sense usually is our guide through the world.
But common sense goes deeper than just what we can see and smell. What about our inner sense? The one that wants to make nonsense out of common sense?
We want to take a chance now and then, but years of upbringing advise against change. We are warned to keep both feet in this world. Heaven forbid we go somewhere by ourselves and get lost. Or create a masterpiece and have too much of one color. Or go to school and flunk the class. Everyone will laugh at you and you’ll be a loser forever.
As you get older you find out that that’s really all bull#*$t.
Life isn’t really like that. That rarely do people laugh at you, and if they do, it’s because you’ve touched a nerve in their own insecurities. That you have missed opportunities to be your own person just because your chatty mind told you something off the top of your head and never really took time to check it out.
And one day you turn around and see all the floors you could have stepped on but didn’t because you never took the time to check out if they were legit or not. Floors that just might have been real, but after checking them out decided not to try them out.
Let your common sense connect with your inner sense. You want to dress differently? Go buy a wrap and go for it. Want to create an art or scrap booking group? Start getting people together today. Want to paint a wall black? (Do you really want to do that??) If it’s part of a color scheme, a bigger picture, makes you happy, then try it.
Don’t let your five senses rule everything. Learn the truth then take a chance. And don’t look back.
Think of the adventures you will miss!
A rare event, but couldn’t leave one out… 🙂
