Magical moments

Posted on by philipdodson

During every day that we live around us are magical moments occurring.

Yet, most of the time we are too busy to notice them.

It could be people, nature, words, sounds, smells…

People serving us smile and wish us a good day but we rush off with sandwich and change without taking a moment to stop and smile back.

The sun shines through the trees and leaves blow in the wind, but we walk past head in our iPhone screen.

There are many, many more examples and if we choose to look for them, we can be amazed just how many there are.

It’s like anything, what you look for is what you will see and the more magic we see the more magical our lives will be.

Look up

I’m in Córdoba in Spain for a few days and touring around the city today I pushed myself to look up, rather than just at the pavement in front of me, which is often all I do. We are conditioned to not look outside of the very immediate surroundings, not just physically, but mentally too.

When you break the habit, as long as your careful with crossing roads, then you start to notice many things that most people will not. You will see amazing buildings, architecture, in big cities you’ll see a world that happens and many levels, you will see wildlife, nature, the sky and much more. You will get inspiration.

The same can be said in our mindsets too, learn to look up and break out of the narrow vision we can fall into.

It’s an amazing world and life beyond the end of our noses or just in front of us.
