Best framing

Most classic cathedrals have ceilings two to three times as high as they are wide. When eyes are directed upward, the spirit tends to soar.

Being in such a space feels radically different than, for example, walking through a parking garage. Though you’re rarely conscious of it, framing affects every experience.

Your words, your expectations, your attitude, your actions all create a frame around whatever you’re going through. A positive, empowering frame can make for a more enjoyable, beneficial, productive time.

Set aside for a moment the substance of what you’re doing, and consider the way you’ve framed it. Are you operating in a magnificent cathedral of your own making, or in a low-ceilinged parking garage?

Place your efforts into a frame that invites and embraces the best possibilities. Surround each experience with a frame that encourages openness, creativity and gratitude.

The way you frame each moment has a significant impact on the way it unfolds for you. Create the best framing, and gain access to your highest potential.
