Two Words :: Be Aware

Are you awake? Are you sure you're awake? Our daily lives are chock full of stuff, they are replete with distractions and filled with tangents which can easily cause us to lose focus, and worse, lose sight of what's around us. Ever driven down the road for a few minutes only to suddenly "wake up" and realize you don't remember driving the last ten miles? You were distracted (hopefully not sleeping).

Not good. Our powers of observation can be a powerful ally to our goals and what we want to do with out lives. But we have to remain alert and awake in order to make those important observations. It requires stepping back and taking a higher view of things sometimes. This is a good. Go climb a tree or sit on a high dune and recognize what kind of perspective you have from those vantage points. Be aware.
