If you get a chance to see the Post Secret exhibit when it comes to a venue near you, you should definitely go! And if you go you should try to hear Frank Warren speak. What a great guy. So genuine.
I saw him last night with my friend Rochelle. We snagged the tickets off Craig's list at the last minute, as he was sold out! He talked a lot about how this project has effected his life and how he thinks it has effected others based on their emails and comments. You can sense just by being in the room with him that all the secrets he is bombarded with (1000 a week) have made him more intouch with himself, others and the world. It seems setting free a secret liberates your soul.
It allows you to:
Move on...
Confront an issue...
Become a new you...
He has a stamp that he uses when he signs your book and it says Free Your Secrets and Become Who You Are. I find for myself that the more honest I am the more me I am. The more real I have to live my life if I'm living it out in the open for all to see. Love me or leave me I am what I am. I am notorious for admitting when I am angry, jealous, envious....usually in the end as the words leave my body I am able to figure out what the root of the emotion is and work through it. Sometimes I work through it on my own and sometimes the person I'm talking to helps me.
The great thing about honesty is that you find that when you're honest, although it is embarrassing sometimes, you find out quickly that others are feeling or have felt as you do. They sometimes get honest with you at that point and become more real and alive too. It Sparks a change in the world to make things true and real and creates a never ending circle of human empathy.
But ....Honesty or a secret doesn't have to be shared with anyone, but you. Sometimes we tell ourselves the truth and are evolved instantly into a new person.
When you're bugged, agitated, angry, sad or experiencing some emotion that is eating at you...ask yourself what's my secret....what do I need to set free.
PS
As I finished this, and at the same time am listening to CNBC, I realize that a transparent govenment comes down to individuals being honest, getting real, not keeping a secret. If that were the case then Ponzi Schemes would not exsist. When that person who is telling themselves most likely, "That the money will come back, this is temporary, it will all work for eveyone just need to keep it on the down low for awhile.." finally gets honest they will admit to themselves they are taking a risk with other people's lives and trust and if that doesn't stop them nothing will. No big law can change a human soul. Honesty can though.

This sounds neat, I'll have to see if it's in the area!
It is still in Walnut Creek at Dean Lesher until April. Bill and I are going again on Tuesday to look again! You can take a stroller in there.
