Take time to NOTICE the things that other people are OVERLOOKING.
–Jeff Goins
There are so many things that we do automatically without thinking. One of the keys to success is to LOOK, SEE, THINK and ANALYZE what you see and what moves that you’ve made and intend on making. Learn to ask yourself the tough questions and then demand answers to those questions. Train yourself to see the things that other people don’t see. Become observant. It is a learned skill.
You don’t want to live an automatic, habitual life all the time, but strive for an intentional, on purpose life. Have you ever gone to your car on a Saturday or in the evening and taken off to go someplace that you occasionally go to? You’re listening to the radio, relaxing, just enjoying the moment. When you look up, you find that your car has automatically take you to a place you usually go; work, the supermarket, or someplace that you go on a regular basis. Without focusing on where you wanted to go, the car took charge and brought you where you usually go, along the road usually travel, but it did it automatically.
If we want to do extraordinary things in our lives we have to begin to think, act and be those extraordinary people that can inhabit that life. We have to break away from the pack and use our powers of observation to make us better than we were yesterday. Not better than the guy next door, because we are not in competition with him. We are in competition with ourselves becoming the best us we can be. So every day we compete against our yesterday self to be better today. That takes observing what has taken place in our past and implementing the measures to make us do better today.

You are smarter, more resourceful and more intelligent than you give yourself credit for. Your brain is a muscle like your biceps. Unless you exercise it and use it regularly, it will not grow. On the contrary, you’ll lose the strengths that you currently have because of lack of use.
