Have you ever looked directly at something and not seen it?
It amazes how much we can be awake yet NOT be be awake.
Sure, you can be walking around and talking, but are you awake?
Did you notice what your mom was wearing the last time you saw her?
How did you best friend sound the last time you saw/heard them?
It amazes me that every-time I drive down a certain road that I can notice something that I never noticed before.
Has that ever happened to you?
Can you see the difference between being "Awake" and AWAKE?
Being awake means that all of your sense are focused on the sounds, sights, feelings, and smells of the immediate environment.
If you were to take a moment and notice what you smell, what do you smell?
If you were to take a moment and notice what you see, what would you notice?
Have you ever been looking at a friend or lover and all of a sudden, you notice something that you never noticed before?
How does you shirt feel on your body?
How does your ass FEEL in your seat?
How do you feet feel?
That is what being present is all about.
Do you realize that many of the accidents that people experience is because they aren't PRESENT. For a brief moment, they couldn't "See" the driver that suddenly pulled out and nailed them.
It's always the punch that you don't "see" that knocks your ass out COLD.
Can you think of all the places that you life can improve when you're PRESENT?
Sincerely,
Amir Campbell
