TAKEN FOR GRANTED
TAKEN FOR GRANTEDIt’s an odd term, worth a look.We don’t notice that the tree we planted a few years ago thrives just a bit more each day. We don’t notice that the mail shows up when it’s supposed to, that our civilization persists in the face of chaos, and that the lights (usually) go on when we flip a switch.Granted?What would happen if we paid as much attention to these persistent delights as we pay to the annoying surprises that unfold each day?The narrative of our time here becomes our lived experience. We’re the directors of this very long cinéma vérité documentary, deciding what gets focused on and what we skip over.And it turns out that choosing our focus often leads to the plot changing as well.Source: Seth Godin's Daily BlogREFLECTION:What narrative are you focused on?Do you need to choose a different focus? Refocus?What delight can you focus on today?
