SCOTOMAVILLE 01.01 Rice University Scotoma Awareness

We're experiencing a global pandemic together. There are fabulous stories of human ingenuity, compassion, sacrifice and wonderful solutions being invented. Unfortunately millions of people don't see things this way.

Frustration, fear, rage, anxiety and even suicide are the norm for many people. It doesn't have to be this way for you. Going from ignorance and a lack of self-awareness to fulfillment and happiness is an expedition. It's a journey with a purpose. It's a personal Everest that starts with a choice.

And you're gonna want to take crap off because you don't need to carry it all the way. It's stuff that's not doing you well. It's beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, that you can change. And we're gonna get into all of that. But for now, just remember, we don't see things the way THEY are, we see things the way WE are!
