When people ask me why I work a day job that demands so much of my time...
When people raise an eyebrow at my buying dahlias and peanut butter...
When people shake their heads at the explosion of plant-ness in my kitchen...
When people want to know what's up with my obsession with light angles and the weather...
And my return question is "Who would you be if no one could see?" and then "what are you waiting for?"
The lenses through which we view the world influence so much of what we think we see, what we focus on. And oftentimes we let the lenses through which other people view us shape our lives in ways both good and bad.
Heard someone speak a couple weeks back, a Michael Dearing, who said that throughout our lives, we're all continually striving to succeed as a coping mechanism to childhood rejections, constantly seeking "authority"'s approval. Here's a revolutionary idea people... Be your own authority and become that which makes you happy.
