Random Conversations Between the Left Brain and the Right Brain
Written by Janet L. Whitehead
Left Brain: “That’s all well and good to dream but the reality is....”
Right Brain: “Reality? Don’t we create our own reality?”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “I know someone who tried that and failed.”
Right Brain: “ If I connect this to that, and adjusted this, and added a bit of colour here, and oh wait, I have another idea..” and then adds, “hey, don’t we know someone who tried to make a light bulb hundreds of times?”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “It has to be done by Friday”
Right Brain: “What’s a Friday?”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “It’s a little late to start a new career, don’t you think?”
Right Brain: “oh goody goody goody, something new to connect more of the little synapses.”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “You have to have money to make money.”
Right Brain: “Oh, shut up. How can I create what we need when you are always nagging at me?”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “The books say I should do it this way.”
Right Brain: “Shhh.. I think I’m getting a message from the universe.”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “Who am I to think I can?”
Right Brain: “How are you even attached to me? I can do anything!”
~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “I’ve got to get this report done.”
Right Brain: “I’ve GOT TO PLAY!”
~~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “I’m stumped. I’m going to have to think more creatively to get past this issue.”
Right Brain: “Whoooaaaa, did you just ask me for help?”
~~~~~~~~~
Left Brain: “Okay, we can do this if we come up with a plan that makes some sort of sense to me.”
Right Brain: “I don’t know what a plan is. I’m busy connecting the seemingly disconnected.”
~~~~~~~~~~
Imagine the possibilities when both sides of the brain work together!
Do you have a creative idea that you’d like to move forward on? Ask your left brain (politely) how it can help that idea come to fruition. (Or Contact me. I can mediate.)
