I felt the butterfly was ready to fly.

 
I felt the butterfly was ready to fly.

Yesterday I didn't wake up with a smile on my face, I had a terrible headache. In my dream I've been painting a huge and colorful butterfly for hours and hours. I felt more tired in the morning then when I went to bed. I couldn't figure out the meaning of my dream. I drunk my strong French coffee, the way Napoleon liked it, a nice breakfast, a spoon of Ginseng, checked my email, googled a bit, the phone rang and there was my first client of the day...

She wants to make the look of her company greener and I'm not talking about the color. She has tried playing the doomsday card : If we don't do anything about pollution we're all gonna die... and it made her very unhappy about her life and business.

As you could read in "An eyeopener" I learned my lesson and promised myself and the world to train myself in "the noble art of negative thought-blocking". Or as Robert Greene said : "Force them off the negative: It is always easier to argue from the negative side--criticizing other people's actions, dissecting their motives, etc. And that is why most people will opt for this. If they had to describe a positive vision of what they want in the world, or how they would accomplish a particular task, this would open them up to all kinds of attacks and criticisms. It takes effort and thought to establish a positive position. It takes less effort to work on what other people have done, and poke endless holes. It also makes you look tough and insightful, because people delight in hearing someone tear an idea apart.

Facing these negative-mongers in a debate or argument is infuriating. They can come at you from all angles. Hit you with sarcasm and snide comments, weave all kinds of abstractions that can make you look bad. If you lower yourself to their position, you end up like a boxer throwing punches into thin air. These opponents give you nothing to hit."

But I was talking about surprises and a butterfly, I was googling to find out what the meaning could be of my dream and that's how I ended up reading a post on Robert Greene's blog. Although I do not multi-task this blog was still open in front of my eyes and the moment I felt myself starting to follow the thoughts of my client, Mister Greene brought me back to a positive and constructive approach.

I felt the butterfly was ready to fly, it spread his wings and you know what ... my headache was gone.

    Hoi Nancy, bedankt voor je comment op m'n blog.

    Alles draait om het taalgebruik, als ze haar baas ziet als een machtswellustig figuur is hij dat ook. Spiegeltje aan de wand en hooponopono. Het is echt niet zo moeilijk, maar het is wel zo ontstellend anders dan wat we kennen. Alles draait om liefde en vergeving, ook voor de mensen die we hebben leren haten. :flowers:
    Je mag je vriendin altijd een keertje doorsturen. Ik kan geen betere woorden vinden dan die van hew len : love, peace and don't forget to cleanse. Lieve groeten, Ronny
