THE BRAIN TRAIN

I had the opportunity to continue a higher education when I was young, but didn't.  Most of my friends hopped on the train and went off to college. Not me. I went back to school off and on as an adult, but no curriculum spoke to me. I felt like I had failed all those years ago. 

The School of Life

But, had I?

Since early childhood, I tapped into the right side of my brain … dreaming, imagining, drawing and designing … all things creative.  From the time I was kicked out of my home at 15, I ignored that side of my brain in favor of the left, more rational side of my gray matter.  I was in survival mode.

When I was age 40, I became reacquainted with my intuitive, creative side and haven’t looked back.  This is my higher education.  I know now that I chose (subconsciously) to forego over-development of my left brain in order to preserve and nurture the right side.  There is no degree to obtain, no letters behind my name.  

Spirit is my professor and continues to guide me to higher personal growth and love.

This is my school … The School of Life.

WANNA BE RIGHT OR HAPPY?

These days my confidence comes not from being right, but from not fearing to be wrong.  

Know Thyself

But it wasn't always this way.  Looking back, I  see that many of the debates and arguments in which I participated revolved around wanting to be right.  There was an urgency coming from deep within, a powerful push to come out on top. 

This wasn't about winning and certainly not about thinking that I was more intelligent than my “opponent”.  No, it was something much deeper; so deep in fact, I wasn't even aware it existed.  When it reared its ugly head, I had to instantly and robotically become one with it so as to be able to continue the charade.  I didn't know it was a sham, mind you, but it was just that.

That thing so deep within, well that was FEAR.  Growing up in a war zone mandated the appearance of assurance.  It wasn't safe to be seen as wrong or weak.  So, I bucked up, pushed out my lower lip and stood strong.  As strong as a little girl can stand, that is.  I was a great little actress but that didn't win me any awards.

The Most Important Relationship is with Yourself

Not fearing to be wrong was a result of a great deal of trial and error.  Eventually I found that falling, then getting up and falling again and getting up again indeed make me strong.  I learned that making a mistake is not equal to death.  Owning my missteps makes me more powerful and confident. 

Ultimately, it’s about loving me.  I didn't yell at my young son when he made a “boo-boo” because I understood he was learning something new.  Ah; I get it. I now feel the same way toward myself.  I’m always learning something new and hope to continue until I draw my very last breath. There will be many more ups and downs, but each journey into the valley and up to the peak is precious to me.

Peace accompanies not having to be right.  The more I let go of being right, the more RIGHT I become.  Go figure…!

Discernment vs. Judgment

Understanding the difference between discernment and judgment is on my mind at the moment.

A very memorable dialogue took place a few years back at a private women’s retreat I held.  Heated and passionate views were voiced about which practice is “good” and which is “bad”.  There was even obvious confusion about which word went with what action.

If we look at the Miriam Webster definition of each, it is easy to see the difference.  But, is it as easy to know the difference when using these practices in our own lives?

DISCERNMENT:

the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure

Which Way Do I Go?

Discernment is vital in our daily interaction with the world.  As you can see from the above definition, it pertains to being able to understand what is in front of us and the likely ramifications of making a specific decision or going in a certain direction. It is our Divine Right to Discern! 

Note:  It’s not uncommon to run into the occasional accusation that you have imposed your judgment, rather than using your Divine Right to Discern, especially if the other person doesn’t agree with your observation. However, getting quiet, going within, and getting in touch with that subtle, inner sense helps us distinguish between “yes, this feels right for me,” or “no, this doesn’t feel like it is in my best interest” will always steer you right.

JUDGMENT:

an opinion so pronounced

Fair is Fair, RIGHT?!

A judgment is simply a view expressed in a way that makes it sound like the only “truth”.  It may not be the truth at all, in fact, it is only an assessment, and generally favors our own beliefs over the beliefs of others involved.

Judgment is often used to control or dominate situations and/or others.  It is not used to make sound decisions, but rather to keep someone or something “in its place”.
