Studio Video, Bill Donovan, July 2009

I make a Freudian slip in the beggining of the video and say that I have been "unaccepting" lately... introspective pause... maybe. Maybe I should open up more, and be more accepting.

Recently I was on a Eckhart Tolle kick, and reading his books and watching his videos online, and he has a great quote that goes: "If you are not friendly with the present moment, you are not friendly with life."

I have been trying to live the idea from this quote lately, I wonder if I am not totally open to the moment.

Now I am on a Fritz Perls kick, and I have ordered some of his books. Fritz Perls created Gestalt therapy with his wife Laura. He is a fascinating character/persona, and Gestalt therapy is very interesting as well.

Here is a great Fritz Perls quote I found online:

"Our dependency makes slaves out of us, especially if this dependency is a dependency of our self-esteem. If you need encouragement, praise, pats on the back from everybody, then you make everybody your judge."

I just read that Dash Snow died yesterday. Dash Snow was famous for pushing boundaries, and he pushed through the last boundary yesterday at age 27.
