Topic- awe

Topic- awe. Awe is an amazing word and an even more amazing feeling. Awer is a feeling that arises inside of you and can be triggered by a simple everyday experience or by something majestic. Many people think that all is an experience that happens once in a lifetime. It is for most people. However, you can take a everyday experience and create a feeling of all around it. This can be done by focusing your concentration on the event and recognizing and appreciating the beauty and/or the quality of that event. The event could be a sunrise, a observing of someone being helped across the street, etc. You can decide what you will feel awe about. You can feel all when you watch a wave in a stadium or an orchestra playing some notes, you can feel all when looking at a piece of art that takes you to a another place. You should think and look around you and figure out what kinds of things can and do give you that feeling of awe and try to replicate these events as much as possible. Do not lower your standards to create all. Aw should be something that is great, something that is beautiful, something that is genuine, something that makes us have a loving belief in the world and then God.

In the book

It is not. You can take an ordinary, everyday experience and build a feeling of awe around it, simply by concentrating your attention on it and truly recognizing its beauty. We are no less capable of feeling awe than of feeling any other emotion — we only have to find the right trigger. […] Manufacture awe on purpose. Do not wait for the mountaintop. Build awe around an ordinary moment by truly attending to it; keep a jar of awesome; borrow the old blessings that train you to notice the rainbow and the blossom. Practice empathy as a skill. Start every encounter by asking what the other person actually wants; stay out of judgment and take their perspective; and listen long enough and deep enough that they feel safe to open layer after layer down to where the real thing lies. — The Heart in the Cockpit (Emotion/Awe/Anxiety/Regret/Empathy)
