Wholehearted Human

This is my take on the photo exercise suggested by Gary Barkalow. This is a way to better understand yourself and what you are attracted to. Knowing these things will help give you insight into your heart’s calling.

The Exercise:

Glance through a series of  stock photos and save any that immediately grab your attention or make you take a second look. Next, go through and look for any themes or correlation between the photos.

Here’s the easiest way to do this:

1. Create a new folder on your desktop.
2. View millions of stock photos here.
3. Right-click on the photos that grab your attention and click “save image as” selecting the folder you just created.
4. Spend as much time as you like looking though pictures. I recommend 30 minutes.
5. Next, go to that folder and review the photos looking for common themes. Do the photos include people or things? Do they include lots of color or little? Do they include action or tranquility? What emotions do they evoke?

These are the pictures that immediately grabbed my attention:

Recently I did an experiment and found the results to be very intriguing. While listening to a series on one’s calling in life by Gary Barkalow, he suggested a photo exercise.

The exercise is to glance through a series of  stock photos and save any that immediately grab your attention or make you take a second look. Take your time, but move fast through the pictures and save only the ones that immediately catch your eye.

2. View millions of stock photos here.
3. Right-click on the photos that grab your attention and click “save image as” selecting the folder you just created.
