Eyes wide open

We live in a truly amazing world.

We are surrounded by amazing things, structures, wildlife, nature, people, images and so much more.

Even in our urban worlds we are surrounded by so much nature.

Yet on a day to day basis how much of it do we really see?

How often do we ever stop on our daily commute and take a moment to take in the world around us? Do we ever pull our cars over, park and watch the world? Do we ever get off the train and just sit on the station bench and watch?

When was the last time we spent any time looking up at the buildings around us?

When did we just sit in a park and listen to birds singing?

We all miss out on so much that goes on around us, as often we are in a rush somewhere, we are on schedule.

Maybe it is time to occasionally take a pause, appreciate the world that we live in.

Live life with our eyes wide open and remove the blinkers of our daily schedules, even if it is for a moment each day.

We could all be amazed by what we might see.

Are you transmitting the right messages?

Are you transmitting the right message to the world?

What you look for in life is what you get. But you will only get the things that you want by sending out the right message too.

Many people miss the opportunities that drift past us all the time in life, often every day. Simply because they are not looking for them, and even if they are, they are not transmitting the right messages to attract those opportunities to stop by.

When we are buying a new thing, say a blue car of a particular manufacturer, it is amazing how many more of those exact cars we see, and in the same colour. That is part of the equation. If I ask you to focus on the colour red for a minute and then look up. You will immediately notice the red things around you first.

The other part of the equation, once you look for the right things, you will realise that others do not know what we are looking for or want, unless we tell them in a clear, genuine and inspiring way.

You need to look for what you want, and tell others what you are looking for. That way, you will bring a whole host of the right opportunities for you, to you.
