Awaken Your Day - Balance Your Focus

A friend had introduced this to me recently and it got me thinking.

"Sorrows are our best educator. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope." - Bruce Lee

Ponder it, consider it and I think you can agree. Part of the reason this is true, is because in time of sorrow or hardship, those situations have our complete focus. Simply because it is not how we wish to feel and it has our full attention. More attention = more lessons that become visible.

No different than asking a person what they want - it is far easier for us to identify what we don't want as we try to better describe and define what we do want. The uncomfortable or unwanted we can see from a long way off.

So, knowing this, we can try to retrain our emotional learning, and maybe balance it some in our favor.

Be purposeful in the next event you attend, or activity that you partake in. Get wrapped up in the Happy that surrounds you and see what can be learned from it. Investigate the joy much like we do in a moment of sorrow.

Today I will attend a wedding. I will witness a moment designed to be joyful. And I will ask myself what can I learn about happiness, as I focus on how far I can see through a tear - of joy.

Good Morning, Greater Day. Greater You, balancing the focus of learning opportunities.
