If I were a piece of candy...

What if we started everyday by asking ourselves that question?
At my age, ive got pieces of my personality that are hard coated with chocolate plaster.
Ive got other pieces that are soft and chewy like a Rolo, but I never seem to go into my day with a plan for tasting sweet.
Consider new approaches to old behaviors.  Life is a series of cyclical events.  Ups, downs, twists, turns we all have them in our lives.  The reason relationships are hard is because we are all on our own paths and very rarely will you be in the same place as your partner, friends or kids.
Sometimes my chocolate doesnt align with my wifes peanut butter. Its up to us as evolving humans to recoginize where we are individually and collectively and to do it regularly.  Thats called self-actualization.  Its up to us to adjust our approach and behavior when it doesnt jive with the world around us.  Im guilty of this myself, but Im often isolated and lost in myself and I forget there are people who need me to do something different in order to make their lives better.  Typically the change benefits all parties so im not sure why our human nature is set to resist change?
For the next few weeks pay attention to what flavor you are putting out during the day.
Make sure and start your day with a bit of projection and give yourself a "candy tag".
Today "I am a green Jolly Rancher!"
Its a fun exercise, will help you stay focused on your insides and will stop letting your outside factors have so much control on your taste.
Stay sweet!
