What is life ? The metaphors you already link to it. When you're in a lousy state you probably think of it as a battle or war and when you're in a good state you probably think of it as a gift. If life is 'sacred' what does that mean to you: benefits and limitations.

All the metaphors you link to relationship or understanding.

Pick another area of your life and write down the metaphors. Write the positive and negative metaphors.

Then create some new metaphors one's that work for you and live them for the next 30 days.

It's never the events that control us it's always us!

1. Your state - mentally and emotionally.
2. Questions you ask yourself - constantly evaluate what you're focussing on and meaning you take from it.
3. Values - what you focus on most
4. Beliefs - About ourselves, other, posibilities, rules - if you do this it means that. A feeling of certainty (a reference)
5. References - experiences of your life - legs of belief.

An idea is a table top with no legs.

Your imagination to create a vision for your future is as powerful a reference as the memories from your past.

Limited references create a limited life. You want to expand your life, expand your references.

The only danger is destructive beliefs.
