We humans have the unique ability to observe our circumstances from every angle and make decisions or rationalize based on what we see. Unfortunately, we often forget to do this and get so caught up the in drama that we become focused on a single facet of life and lose sight of any other possibilities. This shrinks our perspective and turns three dimensional reality into a flat two dimensional picture. Our power to change and create becomes lost in the landscape.
Objectivity is a gift. It is our birthright as a human being. We may be the only species on this planet which has this ability to observe and then reason based on our observation. I say we may be the only species with this gift, because I believe it is possible that the cetaceans (whales and dolphins) have it as well, but since we are unable to communicate with them, we can’t know this for sure.
In order to be good stewards of our birthright, then, it is important to utilize it! Take every opportunity to hone your skills of observation and witnessing. As we release judgment, it becomes easier to see that everything and everyone just “is”, and it follows that we can then look at every situation we encounter more objectively, from every angle. Like a photographer, take a step back and allow your viewfinder to include more information. When you do this, a beautiful thing happens—possibilities and potentials begin to appear. Ideas which might never have occurred before light up before your eyes. Pandora’s box of creativity unlocks and opens for you, and you have CHOICES you can make!
Every facet of life shines light on a choice, an opportunity to exercise your free will. After all, that is why we chose to incarnate on this planet this time—to learn lessons involving free will. Don’t waste another minute with would, should and could. Practice using this wonderful tool. Use every encounter to look at every possible aspect and every potential choice. Choose wisely! Your destiny depends on you taking responsibility for creating it and making it happen.
