Just A Thought ~ LOOKING TOO HARD

"We aim above the mark to hit the mark."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Philosopher/ Poet, 1803 - 1882 ~

If we are looking for something, very often that obscures what is there, and to see it, we must back off a bit. It's like looking up at the night-sky, and singling out one particular star. After a while, we can no longer see that star; our gaze has obscured it. In order to see it again, we have to shift our gaze slightly to one side, and there it is, still there.

We aim for success, but often, we do not know what success is, and our ideas of it prevent us from seeing the success we already have.
