Is it LIVE or is it MEMOREX

This was a huge unforgettable slogan coined in 1972 when Memorex launched a campaign for their cassette tapes.  I remember hearing it constantly and applied to everything.  What it was really implying was “are you hearing what you think you are hearing? 

I love things that challenge my perspective.  Give me a current theory and I love to search my mind and soul, dig deep into the depths of my experiences and come out with a whole new way to interpret something.  I don’t really think we have opinion or controversy issues.  We have limited perspective with the inability to see the world from a new angle. To experience life in a way that stretches our comfort zone.

Our perspective is being challenged everyday and we are constantly being approached to see things in a broader sense to create the inner ability to love all things.
I thought about this on a smaller scale as I ventured outside in 3 degree weather thinking that a high of 42 tomorrow is going to be awesome.  But wait, just the other day, I recall specific complaints of the 40 degree weather when it followed a 60 degree day.  Perceptively speaking…. I can apply this theory to anything.


How do we enhance our view of the world we live in to create a community environment?  Be thankful for all things.  Celebrate the cold as well as the warm, the eccentric and the mundane, the rural and the city, the drug addict and the CEO.   No one is greater than the other; it just may be your perspective.
