Why do you say NLP is a science?

This information is not metaphysical mumbo jumbo or blind faith. It’s how the neurology works.  If you know how something works, you can do things to adjust it.  But if you don’t know how your own nervous system works, how you encode your reality, how your past influences you, how you program yourself, then there’s no way to really drive the vehicle of your life in the direction of your heart’s desire. People are floundering out in the world and creating immense suffering which is passed to their children for generation after generation.  Before you know it we have a complete world of dysfunctional people who are in intense pain who will die for the rightness of their illusions.  My vision is to unravel the stories of the past to awaken people to their fullest potential.

How are you different than other NLP Master Practitioners?

I’m different because I am 100% totally committed to changing people’s lives for the better. I desire to help people who, by their own example, can create a community of positive, resourceful, focused and successful people.  They can go out there and positively inspire their families, their friends, and who knows, maybe thousands and thousands of people that I’ll never see or touch.  All it takes is a small group of committed people to change the world.  And that’s the only thing that ever has.

It sounds like you’re putting a spiritual spin on it.

That’s true.  I really believe NLP is just a prop for me to talk about this creative force we call God.  Because above and beyond all of the technology that NLP teaches is another whole level of existence, which is our spiritual body, our spiritual essence, which is why we’re actually here.  But we cannot access those qualities inside of ourselves if our mind is filled with fear, unresolved negative emotions and the drama of our past. 

Until we can literally quiet that fear, we can’t access the truth about ourselves.  So my whole premise is to first give people the tools to quiet their minds so that the natural propensity to be who we are can rise to the surface.  Otherwise people will be in too much fear to be able to quiet themselves enough to do the spiritual work they came here to do. 

So for me everything I’m doing is about building the foundation, how to take people from “I know nothing” to “These are practical skills so I can have more options, so that I’m not totally locked in to my internal hell, and I can start making different choices about myself, my life and my world.”  Once they have that, there’s another whole level of teaching that has to happen. I know this because in my experience, I meditated for years and years, anticipating these huge spiritual awakenings.  I had minor ones, I had unique experiences that are paranormal, but the predominance of my meditation time was stuck in my head, rattling around my past and trying to quell the deep, deep emotions that were running my life. 

I tried for years and years to be this spiritual guy. I went to India; I studied with a guru.  I was meditating two and a half hours a day, from 3 to 5:30 EVERY morning for 15 years and you know what?  It was painful.  And I could not achieve the spiritual level I felt I should be reaching in the spiritual discipline I was involved in because my mind and emotions were completely out of control.

But the instruction I was given at the time was just “Keep meditating, brother.  Just keep meditating.  Use your mantras.”  And I’m like, “No!”  I’m in total agony about my mother, I’m in total agony about my father, and all these incest issues – I got all these repressed sexual feelings, I can’t cope with any of it.  Sitting for two and a half hours at 3 in the morning and falling asleep half the time is NOT going to resolve the issues!  It is about working at the level of the mind with the tools of the mind – that’s how you can awaken who you really are.  So until we can quiet our minds, we really can’t get to our hearts.  And that’s the whole reason I teach what I teach.

Do your teachings go beyond the basic NLP model?

The Master Practitioners at my Center and I teach a whole Life Design^© process – that we can redesign our lives in alignment with a higher reason and a higher function.  But until we’re able to really do it and heal the voices of our past we won’t be able to progress

The more that we continue to dwell on things we can’t do or things from our past, the more we become entrenched in the negatives.  So the focus of our mind is really the definition of our heaven or hell.  And if 97% of the 60,000 thoughts we think a day are about our past, then all we’re doing in our future is simply recreating the structure of our past.

Life Design is literally the tool to quiet the voices of our past so we can wake up to the natural stillness and the natural spirituality that we all are.

Are some people turned off by your focus on spirituality?  Do they think you’re advocating a particular religious doctrine?

Spirituality is not about a denomination or a structure or methodology of practicing worship of God, whatever that is to you.  It could be anything – it could be the wind, it could be Buddha, it could be Mohammad, it could be Christ – it could be anything.  But it’s something bigger than our egos; something larger than the definition of our personality.  When we create a reference point that is   something larger than our ego and our personality, then we start to live at a higher frequency.

How do your Life Design teachings facilitate that?

Our personality is very much like a glass of milk.  When the milk is stirred, meaning when the mind is restless, we’re constantly, habitually thinking about the past.  We think 60,000 thoughts a day, and 97% of them are about the past.  We’re constantly thinking, dwelling, perceiving, interpreting our future through the lens of our past, so that all we really see is our reaction to our unhealed emotional issues from our past in our future, so we keep recreating it.  That’s like the milk being stirred. 

We’re constantly being reactivated neurologically — we’re reactivated by what we perceive through the five senses.  Everything we see, hear, touch, taste or smell, we’re filtering through what memories it evokes from our past. When we still that, when we still the unresolved negative emotions from our past experiences, we reinterpret the internal voices so they’re our cheering section for our success rather than a booing section for what we have as our perceived failures. 

We can turn that around and change that, systematically, scientifically and neurologically, through reimprinting our nervous system through the three principal learning channels of visual, auditory and kinesthetic.  When we do that with the assistance of NLP and Life Design training we still the milk.  When the milk becomes still, then the cream naturally rises to the surface, the richness of who we are naturally comes to the surface.  We don’t have to learn how to be loving or spiritual beings – we already are. It’s the restlessness and the endless jabbering of our minds and our egos, our defenses, our pasts and our distorted filters that cause us not to function from the essence of who we naturally are – which is love.

Just had a incredible day in the wilderness of wild New Mexico amidst thunderstorms, rainbows, meditation, mule deer and aspen tree forest. Truly makes me grateful for the life that I have been given. I realized so much of my time is spent writing, teaching, lecturing or doing research but too little creating the bond with the natural world. So I stopped and went to the woods and listened so my essence could beat with the rhythm of the Mother. Just thought I’d share the idea that to stop, be still, and remember your center will return you to you very quickly.
Have a amazing day

Now take three deep breaths.  Deep inhale in, relaxed exhale out.  And as you breathe, allow your eyes to close and allow yourself to become internalized, please.  And as you continue to breathe allow anything like focused, concentrated attention to flow out of your exhale.  Any wanderings of your mind just allow it to flow out as if it was a color or an energy leaving your body through your exhale.  For all that remains is the bliss of this moment, the tone and the tempo of my voice, the sound of your breath entering and exiting your body, the way your feet feel on the floor, the way the weight of your body feels, either from the left or the right or right center.  Allowing yourself to be very aware of the micro-sensations within you.  And as you focus your mind and allow your focused concentration to increase, imagine a circle on the floor in front of you.  And imagine all of your love, your compassion, your connectedness with this thing called god, whatever that is to you, your connection to the divine, your connection to the ones you love, your peace, your passion, your heart, imagine all of those qualities of you creating a colored circle on the floor in front of you.  And only those qualities exist in that circle in front of you.  And imagine that circle growing in intensity and in power and creating a column of that color with those qualities in it that is the height of your physical body and imagine this is your circle of oneness, your circle of your own excellence.  This is the memory of you that always was the eternal you.  When you are ready to reconnect and remember the eternal you of yous, leaving out of it everything unlike this eternal soul of you.  This is the truth of who you’ve always been through time.  Take a step forward into your circle of oneness and remember the feeling of who you’ve always been.  Do that now.  Physically step into you.  Physically move and step into you.  Step into that color, into that column of your light and breathe it in, allowing that column and that color to influence, reeducate every cell of your body, shifting and rearranging the molecular structure of your body, washing you in the color and the bliss of your eternal you.  And breathe it in, allowing this color to enter every organ of your body, every cell, every molecule, every atom and breathe it in.  And let yourself feel you once again.  This is the you that is the love that is eternal through time.  This is your innocence, your connection, your joy, your compassion, your angelic you.  And breathe it in.  And feel.  And when you’re ready, step back out of your circle, now that you have an experience of it.  Step back out.

 

I’d like you to think of a memory from your past that, if the qualities of your circle of oneness were there in that memory, the memory would heal instantaneously.  Think of a memory from your past.  When you have that memory that will be healed by your circle of oneness, raise your hand.  Pick a memory or a relationship.  Very good.  Keep your eyes closed.  When you’re ready, I’m going to ask you to take the pictures, sounds and feelings of that memory, which is the only way that memory is alive in your now, take the pictures, the sounds and the feelings of that memory and step it into your circle of oneness.  When you’re ready, take that memory and step it into that circle of oneness.  Physically move it into your circle.  Do that now.  Physically step in.  Take the pictures, the sounds and the feelings of that memory and allow the qualities of your circle of oneness to wash through it, the colors, the infinite capacity of who you are to love and allow that aspect of you, the eternal you, to wash through that memory.  Reorganizing, reshaping, reimprinting the pictures, sounds and feelings of that memory and notice what changes.  And let yourself release.  Very good.  Take three deep breaths, please.  Breathe with me.  When you’re ready, open your eyes and come back to the room.

 

I have this formula for happiness.  My formula is know why you’ve come and live that with every word, every thought and every action you perform and you will be in bliss.  Some people say to me, ‘how do you possibly do all the things you do?’  And I say, ‘This is my life purpose.  There is no other place on the planet that I would rather be than right here in this room.’  Because I know that I am fulfilling what I am destined to do with my life expression is to teach this information.  And there is no other place I’d rather be.  There could 3 people or there could be 500 and I would have the same level of bliss.  Once you discover that and live from that reference point something happens in your life.

 

Have we shifted some memories?  Have we shifted the emotions around the memories?  How did that happen?  We sat in this room and imagined our circle of excellence.  We imagined it.  And then we imagined the pictures, the sounds and the feelings of an old memory, which was a little unresourceful.  We took that imagination into our imagined circle where we imagined all of our resources to be.  And what did our nervous system do?  In our internal representations in our minds, because we had such vivid imagination and we felt it to be true, what happened was that our nervous system did something that I call a collapse anchor.  You already had an existing memory with a set of pictures, a set of sounds and a set of feelings.  True?  And because you reimagined it differently, your internal representations changed.

 

Now, did you know that your subconscious mind did not know the difference between imagination and reality?  People who are screaming on the street corner at imaginary individuals in complete internal dialog that has now become external, are they in their imagination?  Is there reality real to them?  What I believe is they have lost the filter to keep their internal dialog silent.  We’re doing exactly what they’re doing but we’re doing it silently in our heads.  Have you noticed that?  You’re walking around with a conversation inside of your head, sometimes screaming at someone or something but you still have the filter to be socially acceptable so you keep it in silence.  They’ve simply lost that filter.  So what’s that saying?  One filter.  So what we get to do is we really get to look at this.  Because within this dynamic is a very powerful key to personal change, often overlooked.  When you imagine vividly enough your subconscious mind and your nervous system doesn’t know the difference.  Which means you can literally, if you imagine your resources greatly enough.  Remember how we built the circle of oneness?  We put in lots of resources, and we built that resource up so powerfully that whatever we took into it began to shift and change automatically.  How did that happen?  It happened through the imagination and creating internal representations, which is how you know yourself to be you, the pictures, sounds and feelings, vividly enough that your nervous system and your subconscious mind took them as true.

Language of disempowerment.  Our subconscious mind takes it literally, we’ve been speaking in forms of language that we hear around us daily.  We are often unaware of what we are actually programming into the subconscious.  Our goal is to use language as outcome oriented, first person accountable moving in the direction of our heart’s desire.  When we use the language of disempowerment we keep our thoughts and emotions in a place of stagnation.

 

Examples of the language of disempowerment: I want and I wish.  Everybody say I want.  Now say My choice is.  How does it feel?  Does it feel different energetically?  Yes!  The volume totally went up.  Now say I require.  I need.  I want.  Now say I require.  Which has more power?  I need.  I desire.  Desire means from the Latin root for the father.  I want and I need literally means more desire without ever having the outcome.  That’s what it literally translates to.  Yes, it’s an outcome in the way it’s languaged is that because you’re wanting it and the subconscious takes your language literally and personally, you can continue wanting it for a very, very long time.  But when you say my choice is, I create my divine partnership, by this date, that’s something quite different than wanting to get married.  What you do is you actually take the infinite power of your subconscious, which is 1 with 8 million miles of half inch zeros, and you go snap – go there!  When you sit in the emotional state of actually feeling that your lover is actually there and you fall asleep at night and you feel your lover’s breath on the back of your neck and you go to sleep in the emotional state of already being in that committed relationship – because before you go to sleep at night is the seed time of the subconscious mind.  Your subconscious processes that emotion for 6 to 8 hours.  What do you think that does?  When you go to sleep in loneliness, in tearfulness about what is not, what do you think your subconscious mind processes for 6 to 8 hours?  For more direct manifestation of what you will experience the following day and have evidence of.  You will see it when you believe it!  We believe it first and then we see it.  So that’s the difference between want and I choose.

 

I’m not.  As soon as you hear I’m not coming out of your mouth cancel, clear, which I’ll teach you in just a little bit, and go I am.  Whenever you’re speaking about I’m not, whenever you use that, you’re going to go into your story immediately.  You’re talking about what you’re moving away from rather than what you’re moving toward.  Remember that when you’re speaking about what you’re moving away from you’re in your story and you’re giving mental focus to what you’re moving away from rather than what you’re moving toward.  So it’s very important that I’m not is a huge red flag for you that you’re going into your story and you’re speaking at the temple and you’re praying at the temple of what you’re moving away from.

 

I would.  I will.  I must and I’ve got to.  How many of you do that one?  I choose to, I can’t, I will, I should, I will, I will try, I will, I hope, my choice is, I don’t know – how many of you say I don’t know?  Big time.  So I don’t know is replaced by I’ll find out, I choose to know.  You make me.  I love that one.  In the context of relationships…how many of you have been in relationships where your partner says, ‘You make me…’  You know you’re in trouble.  I create for myself.  Let me.  From whom are we asking permission?  It’s hard.  It’s a challenge.  It’s an opportunity.  So if it has been difficult for you in the past and you choose to claim it as an opportunity, because in reality if it’s been difficult for you in the past it is literally an opportunity to strengthen those parts of you that have been atrophied so it can become easy.  Is that true?  So it is literally an opportunity.

 

If all else fails.  That means you are starting on the worst possible case scenario which means that is the temple you are praying at and that’s what you will get more of.  My highest choice is, at least I’ll be able to…  What if you said, at most I’ll be able to….  What would that be like?  Where would your mind be?  What I’m speaking about is literally the minutiae of your thought patterns.  This becomes an active system of meditation through your use of language.  When you do this your life completely changes because your thinking must shift.  It must shift with the language and it becomes an active meditation 24 hours a day.  And as you apply this, your life completely metamorphoses because your thinking does, therefore your reality.  At least, at most.  If/then.  If you go to the dog pound with me, then I’ll buy you lunch.  My choice is I’ll buy you lunch.  When/then.  When my choice is.  Almost/kind of.  I’ll kind of marry you.  I’ll almost marry you.  Is that a commitment?  Do you feel empowered?  You replace that with it is, you are, and that will get you there.  Specifically speak about what it is.  When you take those vague qualities out of your languaging you become more directed, more direct and more committed.  When you are consistently speaking about how something will be and you refuse to claim it now, first of all it’s a fear of feelings.  When you claim it now, you bring it into manifestation and creation now.

 

I keep hammering this one point.  Speak toward, speak toward, speak toward.  Stay out of the story.  If you find yourself going to the I’m not and all the negations you know you’re going into your story.  That’s your red flag.  What you are dwelling on you are creating more of.  Whatever your mind thinks about habitually, you are creating the neurosynaptic networks in your head that create the perceptual filters which makes up how you will immediately respond to the world.  This is how you created your reality.  This is how you created you to be you.  So the more you actually focus on where you’re moving instead of the story about where you’ve been, you create your life out of your heart’s desire. 

 

We can no longer stand in the light of the victim archetype which is cultural through our entire world.  Time is speeding up.  How many of you know the planet is slowing down in rotations?  That the particles rotating around the nucleus of the atoms is actually speeded up.  That the entire foundation of all we know to be real has accelerated.  Does this have an effect on you, then we are manifesting quicker than ever before and that means either heaven or hell.  That’s why this information I feel is very important to get out there.  Unless we provide the conscious choice of the words, feelings and imagination to direct our subconscious mind our habitual, ancestrally influenced thinking and our language which represents that thinking will direct our subconscious mind for us.  The choice we make moment to moment is do we create from our potential outcome or from our past limitations.  We make our choice with every word we speak or think.  Our words are our representation of our thinking.  Our thinking represents the focus of our minds.  The focus of our minds is our prayer.  Whatever your mind focuses upon is the temple at which you are praying.  I love that page.  Transformational choices.  My highest choice leaves our highest vision for the event, circumstance or person as the last thing on the screen of our minds.  I make up, I give meaning to, gives us the reality of being accountable for the filters we perceive our life and relationship through.  I choose: expression of our will and identity moving toward our outcome.  I can: expression of our identity, our will and our potential in choosing our outcome.  I have brings a desired state to now, collapses time from the future to the present.  I am; expression of identity claiming the emotional state of our desire fulfilled.  I create; expression of identity claiming our divine right as co-creators.

Today, we’re going to do a process called The Theater Of Change.  It’s based on the NLP phobia technique and one of my thoughts is that we are this amazing being that has a whole series of pictures, sounds and feelings via our internal representational systems and that these internal representational systems act as drivers for much of our behavior and how we hold our reality.  They create our heaven or our hell based upon what we focused upon.

 

What we’re going to do is shift the pictures, sounds and feelings of our past.  It’s going to happen by partnering with me. Based upon the focus of your mind and your desire you can make many changes to the history that has blocked you.

 

So those of you who have had in the past seemingly poor visualization skills, you actually have great visualization skills.  Just take the specific modality that you’re representing your experiences from, whether it’s kinesthetic or auditory, give a symbol to what those sounds or those feelings are and visualize that way.  Remember, the subconscious takes things very metaphorically and symbolically.  So imagine you are going to enter the theater of your past.  You wrote the movie, you starred in it, you produced it.  You are the maker of the internal representations of your entire experience from conception to now.  You made it up and you can edit the movie.

 

So when you’re ready to just allow yourself to go into a more focused and concentrated state within yourself just imagine yourself entering the theatre.  Uncross your arms and your legs so the energy flows freely in your body and we’re going to go inside your imagination allowing yourself the opportunity to allow those parts of you that know how to change to begin to change.  And what I’d like to suggest to your collective subconscious minds is that it now has an opportunity to begin to meet its highest prime directive by allowing a process that can be very quick and very powerful to begin to shift and change the unresolved emotions of the past in a way that is easy and comfortable, knowing that the highest prime directive of your subconscious mind is to preserve the body.  And as I speak to your collective subconscious I’d like to suggest to your subconscious to know that any stress caused by unresolved emotions is less than optimal for the human body. 

 

So as your subconscious mind begins to understand the opportunity it has, your conscious mind can begin to drift, drifting to a place of focused concentration where your conscious mind can begin to let go.  That’s right.  Just letting go in a way that’s right for you.  Letting go in a way that is comfortable for you as your subconscious begins to understand the opportunity it has now.

 

  So allow your  body to relax, allowing all the sounds you hear, and the sound of your breath entering and exiting your body, allowing yourself to feel the surface on which you’re sitting, awareness of how your hands, your arms, your legs, your feet are and allowing a sensation of just letting go.

 

And as you continue to focus your mind, imagine that you are now in a theater, a theater looking up at the screen and as you look at that screen, sitting in the theater, imagine a part of you, the observer part, the part of you that’s in control, can lift up out of that body sitting in the theater, and sit in the projection room of that theater. Your able to see your body watching the screen in the theater but your also sitting in the projection room.

 

 And imagine now being in the projection room looking down at your body watching the screen and just breathe and be there in the theater with your imagination.   We’re going to review a film.  This is the film of your life.  You starred in it, you produced it, you directed it.  You’re going to edit it now.

 

 I’d like to suggest to your subconscious mind that all of the positive learning’s from your life, is preserved in that place that you retain for such learning’s.  Allowing all of those learning’s to beautifully and generatively contribute to your life from this point forward.  Allowing your subconscious mind through the internal representations that you have carried up to now to begin to shift and change in such a way that allows you now to have a different set of pictures, sounds and feelings which promote and produce the necessary internal representations to fulfill your life purpose in the optimum manner, according to your destiny. 

 

So imagine now that we’re in the projection room and we’re going to watch the film of your life, the film from conception until now.  It will take approximately 3 minutes to watch this film. 

Now imagine in the editing room as we’re going to review your film that there is a very large white paint brush that is filled endlessly with white-out.  I’m going to ask you to run your film in a moment, because I think we can make a better one.  What do you think?  We’re going to run your film and we’re going to white out all the frames of the film that have had a negative impact upon you and your future, preserving all the positive learning’s from your entire life span of time.

The curtains are beginning to open on the screen, the part of you who controls things  can now be ready to flip on the switch of the projector and allow your  film to begin to roll from conception to now.

 

Are you ready to change things?  Begin now.  Turn the film on and run the film in Black and White only.  Review your life as it happened from conception or birth to now. Paint white paint on the film and start whiting out every single frame that is the history of what has been stopping you.

Do that now and let the film roll until the end which means you have reached now. 

 

We’re going to run the movie backwards.  And distort the pictures sounds and therefore the feelings of the movie of your life.  Only the characters, and the internal representations in this film that you desire to change are going to change, all positive frames of the picture will remain the same.  The scenes and characters you are changing will be speaking backwards, the sounds will be backwards creating a new sound track for the movie, the characters will be walking backwards.  You can place Mickey Mouse ears on each one of them and a ballerina skirts on each one of them.  Also coupled with this you can put an elephant’s trunk on the faces of every character you desire to change in this film. 

 

Are you ready to have fun with the past? Remember the only way the past is still alive is in just a series of pictures sounds and feelings. Start the movie from the present now and run your movie backwards, rewinding the movie back to the beginning at birth or conception and filling in the empty frames you desire to change with all the new characters and sounds and feelings. Run the movie in full color leaving all the positive scenes as they are.  Do it now. Repeat the above process three times by fast forwarding in Black and white adding a coat of white out to all frames of the movie that require to be re-translated and imagined until the movie looks great with empty frames and positive memories.  Rewind the film distorting the characters and making the movie in full Color, almost funny and rewind back to the beginning filling all the empty frames that use to represent your past pain into a fun character filled funny sounding movie of your new life..

 

  

Bring your movie back to the very beginning where you originally started.

The better you imagine the more successful the re-imprinting of the past.

 

Now we going to add more resources to the movie. So as you stand at the beginning of the possibility to re-imagine the characters, the pictures, sounds and feelings, creating a new sound track, creating new characters in bright, vivid color, in the color of your circle of excellence and oneness.  We are going to place the qualities of that circle of oneness and we’re going to create new characters of your past where all of the characters are behaving and acting out of their circle of oneness with the heart, the compassion, the connection and the love of the essence of who they have eternally been.  All characters will be performing out of their circle of oneness and true self.  And your new film will take on the color of your circle of oneness. 

 

Create this new film in bright vivid color with every character acting out of their highest connection to whatever is divine in life.  When you’re ready you will begin your new film based in the color and the qualities of your circle of oneness.

Begin re-imagining your life now in the light of all your finest qualities and run the movie up until now.   Once at now, begin to rewind your film at high speed back to the beginning adding in more color, emotions and beautiful sounds.  Back to the beginning. 

 

Now we’re going to run your film through again.  This time we’re adding Steven Spielberg special effects, the highest quality of special effects.  Thx sound.  Make it three dimensional.  Make wind blowing.  Make symphonies playing.  You are just going to enhance these pictures so vividly, so powerfully with so much emotion into every single aspect of this film.  When you are ready, run the film through again and put in the most amazing colors in the color of your circle of oneness and each character acting out of the script of following their circle of oneness.  Run the film again please.  Enhance every frame.  More powerful.  More loving.  More compassionate.

 

Now that we’ve created new internal representations of your past, let’s bring this process to a gentle close  and allow your attention to return  to the now.

 

Now why and how does this process actually work?  The only way you know that you’re you is by the pictures, sounds and feelings in your head.  That’s it!  You’ve got eye patterns that retrieve your memories and go, ‘remember – this is what happened to you.   What if your eye patterns retrieve memories where all you saw was your circle of oneness flowing through every single memory of your past? 

 

 

The next opportunity we can take to explore our ability to shift the internal representations of our lives, is the concept of time.  In the quantum field time really doesn’t exist at all.  It is a construction of measurement. Time is very much like a river of life.  If we become attached to very little, or avoid becoming obsessed with the mundane, or things we cannot change, we begin to us our focus of mind beneficially.

 When we understand the river of time we will know that all things change constantly and is the only thing consistent that we have. It is not the events that occur in time within our lives that cause the pain, it is the meaning we have given those events that create either our heaven or our hell. It is the focus of our minds that either release us or imprison us.

Time is like a river, and the events in our lives are like leaves floating past us. What leaves do we choose to pick up and examine. For how long…And which do we choose to let flow by us.  The answer to this question will determine our degree of happiness.
