What AreYou Looking At?

"It's not what you look at that matters; it's what you see."~Henry David Thoreau

What are you looking at? Do you really see what you are looking at or are you just looking? When you go to a store to buy something, when the clerk says "May I hep you," why do we say, "Oh, I'm just looking?"

Because of the way that our brain works, we don't often find what we are looking for. Unless we have already put what we are looking for into our RAS (Reticular Activating System) we will just walk right by what we are looking for. When you think about buying a car, the model and color of the car, you start seeing that car all over the highway, when the day before you never noticed them.

What are you putting into your RAS. Is it helping you or hurting you? Are you able to SEE instead of LOOK? Allow your brain to work for you and start putting into your RAS the things that you want out of life. The more that you think about them, the sooner they will appear in your vision (both visually and thought wise).

"It's not what you look at that matters; it's what you see."

Stop looking and start seeing!
