The Detective "The truth lies before you in disguise." |
| In being a detective in your
life, you have to start by knowing what it is you are
doing and when and why you are doing it at any given
moment. This means, you must be conscious. You have to be
present. Otherwise, you run the risk of functioning on
automatic pilot. Automatic pilot is okay if you want to
cook the same way you read a book. Or run a mile the same
way you type a paper. Or make love the same way you ride
the subway to work. In life, each activity requires your
separate and full attention. And in giving your full
attention, you will most likely follow suit by feeling
the need to make choices. By making choices you are
deciding what your life will be from one day to the next,
from one moment to the next. This in turn will give your
life a shape, a design, a purpose. By making choices, you
assume responsibility for your life. By assuming
responsibility you are guaranteed a more satisfying life
by the mere fact that no one but you is at the helm
running the ship according to your own wants and needs,
your own dreams and desires. What could be better? You'd be surprised. |
