Life Shifts

Change can take place whether are not they are ones we are working for. Their called “Life Shifts”. They can not only compliment changes we want but they can be of their own doing. As many times as not they can be for the positive.

Mindset
It can set the tone for how these changes affect you, your life and those around you. Another word for mindset is perception. How you perceive change can make all the difference in the world. Of course judging too soon can be detrimental to the change process.

My Friend

He had a good life for him where he was, but as is human nature he wasn't satisfied. Mainly, because during the years things changed around him and he refused to accept them. So, he moved in search of the things that once made him happy. He never gave the change a chance thus never finding the happiness he longed for. Now, he is moving again. Again looking to create change to find the same things he lost. While I wish him well he somewhere along the line to has come to terms with not only his own changes but the life shifts that will take place around him. If not seeking more change to find happiness will forever elude him.

Sources of Wisdom



Most people are always in the pursuit of wisdom. While there are some that consider themselves the almighty sage of life and knowledge, the true wise person is always in search for answers. And life itself gives us many reasons to do so.

That memorable slogan
A very longtime ago a former girlfriend and I were perusing through a collection of posters hanging on a rack in a store. We came across one with the picture of a monkey grasping his head. The slogan read, “Just when I though I had all the answers, they changed the questions.”

We are that monkey
Due the fact a staple of life and living is change, there is always a need to seek new answers. That is why we are blessed with the tools of creativity and knowledge. We use creativity to find, tap into, and even create the answers that bring us knowledge. At times we are the monkey grasping our heads in disbelief we are confronted with yet another situation we have no experience to have had gathered the knowledge to draw upon in order to deal with it. But seriously, that's life playing out as it was meant to.

The answer to seeking answers
Be the monkey. Come to grip with the fact we can't possibly know it all. Though we do all know a person or two that will never develop that comprehension. We have to be wiser than that. We have to have the flexibility and versatility to know when and seek out the how to obtain the wisdom we will always be desperate need of.
