I walk into every room and every situation as if the world revolves around me. And it does, after all it is my world.
That will sound vain and pretentious to those that don't know me, and indeed, even to some that do.
It is not meant as such. I've recently decided to embark on a new course in life. I'm trying to be a bit more Zen, a bit more aware. That seems counter to the above statement, no?
I would argue not at all. I am sick of feeling like a spectator in my own life sometimes. Yes, things/events will happen as they will, but you can also contribute to the outcome.
Think about it. My life revolves around me. The decisions I make. The people I chose to interact with. The places I decide I want to go. The work (job/career/volunteer/hobby) I do. The music I decide to listen to, for even when the iPhone is on shuffle, I have chosen the music contained in my iTunes account. The entertainment I chose to participate in. These are all things I have control over and that influence and impact the world around me. Extrapolate further and the world revolves around me.
Therefore, in my new Zen like approach to the world, and not letting the world happen to me, I am going to walk into any situation like the world revolves around me.
