LOOK AROUND YOU WITH MORE INTENT. - REGARDEZ AUTOUR DE VOUS AVEC PLUS D'INTENTION.
"If you don't see what you have, you will only have
what you see." Tanho Attah.
We now live in a world where
private affairs have become public affairs. Many people’s lives have become
public properties and many more are doing all they can to showcase their lives,
at every opportunity, for the world to see. Most times, the problem with that
is that many respond badly to this kind of pressure and they start to falsify
their lives. People begin to keep up appearances, they have an imaginary life
that they now put on display. Many are too busy trying to build a false life
that appeals to the public rather than build the real life that they have so
that it is sustainable and impactful. Many of us would have been further down
the road if could only see what we have. Most times we look away from what we
have in us and around us to source for what we need in order to accomplish our
purpose in life. We mostly believe that what we have in us and around us is
never enough. We limit ourselves because we evaluate things at just their
surface value without spending time to think about their real but often hidden
potentials. Real potentials are never visible on the surface, there is always
more and these can only be discovered through our resourcefulness. The
discovery of these priceless gems is what separates creative minds from the
rest. When we only look at the face value of things, we will always see things
that are never enough in our own little estimation, to pursue our dreams.
Someone else will see what you have and try to point it out to you but if your
perception is outside that scope, you will still not be able to see then, you
short change yourself and waste precious time and resources. Some people are
waiting until they can afford studio time when they have smartphones that they
can improvise with. I was talking with a friend who does workshops for
teenagers about having a variety of activities to help engage them and keep
them interested for longer. He pointed to the fact that they did not have enough
resources to afford such instructional materials. Then I started showing him so
many things around him that he could improvise that would even help to
stimulate their creativity, he was shocked. There is so much we have that we
are not paying attention to that could help our innovation and move us along
further and faster than we can imagine. All we need to do is re-evaluate our
strategy and take complete stock of what we have without condemning anything as
useless. If you look at an object long enough, you will discover uses that
would never have crossed your mind. The problem is that we would rather that
someone else go through the hassle while we just wait to benefit from their
sweat. Become the reason why someone else's mind is stretched to a wider
capacity. Do have a great day!
"Si vous ne voyez pas ce que vous avez, vous n'aurez que ce que vous voyez." Tanho Attah.
