As I look back at my life, I have been accused of being impractical (I am), a dreamer (I am) a wanderer (completely), the famous comment ‘you treat life like it was just play’ – yes I do. ‘Act your age’ – I can remember forever. People have said I have an over active imagination (yes, completely), that I should be more serious about life (I agree, but I do not know really know what they mean). The point I have been making is that while I have always accepted these accusations, I have lived under the burden of guilt of all these accusations. I have consistently tried to change them, but neither have I been able to change myself, nor have I been able to be free of considering myself somewhat an irresponsible human being…<\/p>\n


\n… so there is something about our social system or our education that does not recognize that some of us just are completely right brain people. I am, and when I start to try and make decisions that are not emotionally based, or completely left brain decision I am so engulfed by doubt that I land up not making any decision. However if I make those very decisions from my right brain, somehow the decision making process become different. I do not somehow actively make the decisions in as much as seeing them through step by step, but if left in that space, somehow things get done without being an active participant in the doing of them.
\nI am not making a judgment here about the value of the right brain. But simply that is who i am and I have achieved less in my life, by not accepting my right brain tendency as a strength.
\nWell, it is never too late to change. To give your self to the emotionality of the right brain and the exist in it freely without doubt and with complete trust,
