How do you know how to respond to anything unless you know what it is and what it means to you?
The question is rhetorical.
Obviously you cannot.
To respond to anything you first have to recognize what it is, and you have to attribute some significance to it. Until then you won't know what it is or what to do.
And that makes us menaing-makers.
...the gap of choice
What is the quality of the meanings that you create?
Are your meanings inspiring, compelling, exciting?
Do they get you up in the morning and excite you through the day?
Or, are the meanings that you give to things conventional, "average," okay, but nothing special? To what degree can you sacrilize anything?
Or, to what extent does your view of life, people, work, relationships, exercise, etc. full of de-sacrilizing and discounting?
Power to create meaning:
Do you view yourself as powerful to do so or do you view meaning as given, fated, controlled, and out of your hands?
The meanings you give to the gap between your present state and your desired state.
How do you think of that difference?
What meanings do you give to the tasks required to move you to your goal state?
Do you love the effort to reduce the difference?
Is it fun?
