Where are you looking?

"Two-thirds of what we see is behind our eyes."

-Chinese Proverb

 

This is such a good saying when thinking about our approach to life or to our dreams.  First off, we get to choose the one-third of what we do see.  So what are you focusing on?  Where are you putting your attention and efforts?  Second off, just because we are not seeing something right off, doesn't mean it's not there.  The best example of this would be results.  Maybe someone is trying to lose weight.  When looking at the scale, maybe they are not getting the numbers they want to see, but what about how they are feeling?  We might start to believe that our health level is directly related to our weight and we get so narrow focused and narrow minded that we miss the whole picture.  Whatever you are striving for, remember that you can only see a small portion at one time.  So when you choose that portion, be careful and stay focused.  Also, remember that just because you don't see what you want to right off, doesn't mean it's not there.
