If we go to friends for advice, we may not always get what we came for.

Friends have a time and place, as do influential figures in history. There is a reason I make this comparison.

Quite often friends are mirrors of ourselves demonstrating similar beliefs, values and ideas about life. But the problem with friends is they might not always give us what we truly want, correction, need.

Friends can sometimes keep us on the status quo, not challenging the norm of our behaviour, for they too are familiar with our characteristics, even more so in some respect than our own personal awareness.

When we want to challenge the norm, expand, grow, push past boundaries and be even more of who we are, who are we going to model the changes on?

Comfort zones = friend zones.
I love my friends dearly, the value, insight and support into my life they bring is tremendous, but I am awake to the fact they won’t always provide me with the things I require in order to grow.

Sometimes you need to go outside your comfort zone when relating to people because it is there that we can feel most stretched.

Spending time with people who are not necessarily on our wavelength can push us into aspects of our personality we wouldn’t normally assume. At those times we not only learn to appreciate the intrinsic qualities we provide for others, but in return it highlights the diversity of other people and the fact that no-one is right or wrong, we are all simply human beings each muddling through on our own individual journeys.

I always love to change things.
I find myself learning computer programs to enable me to change things.
With an unlimited time pass I would learn to write the computer programs so I can change more things.

Changing things is a daily and ongoing part of creative existence. We see something, sample it, decide what we like, what we don’t, extract the best, remove the worst, alter those things we can alter and ta-dah – we have a “changed thing”; perfect or near perfect suiting our own ‘’world’’.

Ultimately each one of us is creating our own world on a daily basis and it is this that is being replicated on the internet.

I want to change wordpress. I want to make it more orderly.I want a Conversational blog (like this) alongside a Catagorised blog, like my “What About My Dreams”. I want it tidier. The Categorised blog would behave as an ongoing chapter / book system. A paid subscription service would be available where the author can provide a brief synopsis of his/her book with a user paying a subscription for chapters. In essence, a pay-per-chapter system, giving instance feedback and financial return for writers; with users the availability of opt-in and out services. The service could include a profit sharing scheme for both the user and author, perhaps taking into account the lenght of time the user had been subscribing and perhaps optiongs whereby the user takes an active part in the directional content of the book by voting on possible next chapter scenerios provided by the writer… (I could go on)

Actually this service already happens, it just happens to be in different formats.

I am changing and my priorities are changing and the thing to remember is that change occurs at every moment on every level. There is big change, like when systems / structures / people undergo radical alterations, medium change where departments shift / people move house, or small change, where the director gives the team a new brief / an individual changes their hairstyle. Every level of change brings a string of knock on effects, those effects equate to the degree of change. Alongside those effects are the ongoing concurrents that run beneath the surface, as are the daily small daily changes that contribute definitely to the big changes, all adding up to an intricate complex environment of change.

I am experiencing big change at the moment. I study astrology and I’m midway through Saturn transiting my 12th house. Right now everything is changing for me. I’m shifting, sorting, sampling and trying. Finding the best routes, systems and adjusting them to my own internal change. However, – I would hate to tell you the number of times I have redesigned my website to reflect these changes. I have now given up.

Sometimes when we are undergoing radical shifts, it is best to avoid implementing anything new, instead simply allow the organic change to run its course and once it settles on higher ground, we can again pitch our tents and get stuck up (or redesign a website). Chaos can sit within a system if you allow it to.

By changing internal structures we reflect and project that change into the world; seeking resonate forms and structures we alter those forms, ultimately moulding into new creations of our own and changing the world (around us).
