I was listening to an audio book when this image came to me.
So I took out a marker and a ball point pen and started drawing this.
It says that- A piece of magnetized iron could lift about twelve times its own weight. But if you demagnetize this same piece of iron; it wouldn't even lift a feather. (couldn't lift a feather's weight)
There are few ways to look at this metaphor, commonly, this can be viewed from the perspectives of Teamwork. Like if a team focus their strengths together they can achieve momentous work. If they are in disharmony, you can't get anything done from them. Other new age perspectives could be the tuning in of a frequency. Like when you're in sync with a certain universal principal or truths, everything clicks. etc. etc.
This metaphor thingy has nothing to do with the Design the Life you Love workbook. The workbook only encourages us to sketch / draw. That's just to keep the right brain awake so that we get more creative than logical when trying to solve problems. When you sketch, it's like going to the gym for the brain. I guess to play a musical instrument would be the same but not everyone could play an instrument but almost anyone could sketch or doodle. It doesn't have to look good, it only needs to be original.
The workbook is a very simple one. It stems from a lady who is an industrial designer (like for kitchen ware, tea cups, office furniture, etc). She's saying that we could first, Deconstruct our lives in order to study each aspects. Second, to have various POVs (point of views), look at it in another way, look differently, get creative. Third, to Reconstruct. Know that when we reconstruct our lives, we won't be able to have it fall back the same way as it was before deconstruction. Some things have changed and some things will change. Finally, when we reconstruct our lives the way we love it, it will be original and unique. Always remember to be playful and have fun.
That's the gist of that workbook. It's a very basic book and I guess I need to have a refresher.

Decide to see things differently.
P.S: Did you realize the keyword is not "differently"? The keyword is "Decide"!
