I’ve been going on and on a lot lately about paying attention to the lessons around you. There’s a saying “when the student is ready, the master will appear” and I’m starting to see that the master appears over and over and over, in the books you read, on the tv shows you watch, in the conversations you have.

Funny, then, that one theme which has come up a lot recently is the difference between reaction and response. How fitting then that Steve Pavlina would have written an entry called Reaction vs Response on his personal development blog yesterday.

Just as interesting is the fact that they topic of authenticity is another one of those things that has been coming up a lot, and while reading Steve’s blog, he had a link in there to another entry, simply called Authenticity.
