Notice the Transformation

Transcript

This is how your life is already wonderful.

I would like to talk about noticing the transformation.

If you’ve listened to some of the interviews I have done for A Beautiful Thought you have probably noticed one theme that comes up in my questions and interviews is why do you decide to do that.

I’d normally phrase it saying a lot of people in that situation would have made a different decision and they might continue in denial or they might not have taken that firm stance about taking action in that position.

So why did you do that? I love asking this question of myself or others because it is often so revealing and you might also notice that if you drill down a bit and continue on that same line of questioning, if I feel someone hasn’t gone quite to the root of why they made that decision.

I also like to ask this question in my regular life so I notice that someone for example someone has given up their hero complex because they have decided it’s not beneficial for them to try to rescue victims in their lives. Especially when those people don’t end up improving their lives.

They say congratulations on making that decision, why do you think they did that?

Or the other night, the other day I saw a friend and she gave me a hug and I thought: Interesting.

Later I reflected on it because last time I had given her a hug after we went to dinner and I noticed how uncomfortable she was and I asked “Do you not want to hug me or something?”

And she said “I don’t normally do that.” But this time she did very enthusiastically because when I sent her a message asking why, what had changed?

I don’t know yet what the answer is. But the point is the question normally yields many interesting answers. Many fields of potential introspection and potential wisdom.

Because yes when we introspect thoroughly, carefully and precisely with persistence and diligence we yes indeed will normally find wisdom because he who seeks fights, look inside for the motivations. I hope you wanna know, something worthy of desire and worthy of our pursuit to find out what really means to want something, to move towards something.

Why would we want to do that in the first place? What the potential is when we do transform, how we can even recreate those transformations and apply that same principle that we discover for the next time we are in a difficult situation where our awareness expands and we find out we are a little different to our concept of ourselves.

We can become even greater in those moments when we begin to notice the transformation.
