Opinions are like … you know the saying.

We all tend follow rules for belonging to clubs, we use rules for communication, we use rules for who’s opinions we’ll allow to be heard. I belong to a bunch of different groups. In some, I’ve been described as a bully, others just a very nice man with big opinions. No group has every one of it’s members all on exactly the same page. Generalities regarding opinions and behaviors are measureable yes. Do they help understand an individual? Paying attention and listening patiently always seems to work better.

Some of the more recent insights for me have had to do with noticing that I attract both great events and crushing egos moments at the same time. I started a thread about that somewhere, and someone responded that my energy attracts both. I’d been coming up with this theory that people somehow attract good and bad at the same time, and she blew that out of the water, by simply saying yes, that’s MY energy. She told me I didn’t need to manifest the negativity if I didn’t want to. A little light bulb went off for me!

What am I actually attracting? Is it the same as what I want to be attracting? and my answers are, I am attracting exactly what I need to, in order to learn from these experiences. Ok, I get it.

Cue a little Star Trek please! I used to think all of the world’s problems could be solved by watching Star Trek. Is it true?
