How are my thoughts and actions reflections of a measurement world?
I looked at that pattern of nine dots with the instruction to connect them all with only 4 lines, and immediately saw the box, and the dot in the middle that was unconnected. Seeing the "Possibility" figure on page 14, my reaction was, "why didn't I think of that???" So at this moment since my thoughts are still focused on a grade that is incorrect from a previous course, I guess I am in the measurement world. Is this where I want to remain? NO!
When I am focusing on the people in my life and building connections, but still realizing that I am shaped by assumptions of life in this world, I feel that I am getting closer. My desire is to be open to possibility, to silence the negative voices. "You are more likely to be successful, overall, if you participate joyfully with projects and goals and do not think your life depends on achieving the mark because then you will be better able to connect to people all around you."(Zander, 2000. p.21)

"My desire is to be open to possibility, to silence the negative voices." I think this is something that if successful could be the most important aspect of FSO for you. You do great work, you have applied so much of what you have learned directly to your classroom, yet those negative voices creep up in your head. Silence those voices! Trust in the process and free yourself of worry. Give yourself an A.
