I often wonder about the state of infatuation. What is gained by practicing it? It is a state that upon onset is strong and intense. Infatuation is defined as falling in love or becoming extremely interested in someone or something for a short period of time. Infatuation can take many forms and shapes. We can become infatuated with a person, an action, a thing, a behavior and a food. Infatuation can cause us to act foolishly deprived of sound judgment and reason. We can easily be swept away by the state of infatuation causing us to stumble into life’s danger zones. The simple act of slowing down positions us to gain perspective. It provides us with the opportunity to explore and evaluate our needs, wants and desires. Soon a powerful shift occurs within us. We begin to experience the power of perspective. We start the process of defining our needs, wants and desires. Rather than being defined by them. We learn to use perspective to put the lid on infatuation. We become a decision makers. It is just that simple. margiesdaughter.com
