Now, what if I did more things with my left hand? What if I purposefully sought out activities that develop the right side of my brain? Would my life and world perception change?These are the questions I am pondering on, as I am motivating myself to pick up a pencil and start drawing. It's a "love and hate" relationship I have with drawing. I posses a burning desire to learn how to draw (beyond the childish doodles I produce now), and yet almost every time I am with a pencil I just want to stop. Perhaps it's the struggle of the left and the right sides of my brain... Which will I lead to victory?
This idea of the different roles of our brain was also explored by Jill Taylor in her Ted speech in February 2008. Here is the video of her presentation:
Hope it is as inspiring to you as it is to me.
Duality is in our very nature. Without perspective how do you tell if you are progressing. Therefore, what would be the left brain without the right. Cheers to you, who are fortunate enough to be on this path, in time you will harness the power of both, you will learn to use both in tandem as a team, you will be even more amazing.
