Comment on Inception in Real Life by francy

Sure, sometimes I wonder where I might have ended up had I not started Hello Kelly … but while I might be more wealthy, secure or stable in those daydreams … I’m nowhere near as excited about life!
So it definitely did change my life for the better!

That’s super interesting that a dream helped you identify and correct small problems. What did that look like?

Now THAT is a good call.
I’ve been learning quite a bit about this kind of thing in the church I go to back in Nashville. And how the best way to have joy (aka “a good perspective”) in all situations is to ask God for joy. In other words, it can’t happen on our own …
I think that makes sense.

Francy,

You definitely put all of my feelings of Inception into one amazing post! I think what made that movie such a great watching experience (for me!) was the openness it left to bring to our own lives. Your post definitely was comforting in the sense that I’ve had those Inception type dreams that carried over when I was awake. While I haven’t had a dream that completely defined my life, I have had the kind that show you how to right the small problems. It’s crazy how dreams can work like that!

On a totally separate note, I’m a big fan of your music (and writing) so I hope that dream changed your life for the better!

Nice closing line. -I donno, I think you can always keep your cool in a situation (not that I regularly do). Not sure if it relates to a “dual personality” in the way described. I might consider it more to be the ‘sin nature’ (our humanity) and the ‘dead to it’ thing…

Hey thanks a lot for reading, Stephanie!
You articulated that well: “If you search for the good things, you’ll always find them”.
Do you think that’s always true?
When my laptop was stolen from my van, it wasn’t easy to find the “blessing” in that … I guess at least they didn’t also steal the van.

I’m not sure that I’d say surrendering to God’s will = Happiness. I think that kind of submission will always make our lives much more difficult … But maybe I just have a dark outlook …
Am I out in left field on this?

i forget this so often. thanks for that. i really needed it this week.

and i totally think there are 2 versions of ourselves. they are the ones walking in God’s will and those not walking in it. when we submit under Him, we will always find happiness. and it’s not to say you won’t have hard times when you are in His will, but if you search for the good things, you can always find them. (like you said)

i’m totally being a hypocrite right now, but from past experience i know it’s true.

i know that was totally off the subject, but just a random thought.

Thanks for reading, Margaux!
I like to think of life in terms of what “The Universe” is up to as well … Obviously, what “The Universe” means is different for different people.

I figure that nothing THAT good can happen if we’re not scared. So … We just gotta figure out what scares us and do those things. What a terrifying idea!

Francy, Francy,

Wow, great post. I totally get you with the whole, Where is my path leading me, thing?

It sounds like you are on the right track just following your heart and having faith in your path. I’m in a similar place and the thing that keeps me going is, It’s all gonna work out. The universe is designed for us to succeed. In what? That might not be up to us. But this path is where you’re supposed to be because it’s obviously making you ask the big questions.

Fingers are crossed for you.

Hey Francy, I’m starting to miss your semi-usual blogging! When’s the new CD out?
