We have a deep perception of life that is not totally accurate. Why? We filter everything that happens around us through a "lens" that we wear, else by a paradigm. How we see the world is not how the world is, but rather how we are! "You see but you do not observe rightly" poignantly remarked the late Dr. Covey. one of the most powerful ways to enhance your observation capacity is to begin writing a daily journal. This process will sharpen your ability to go deeper. For example you will find that you are spending much more time on customers than you are selling and billing them, or short changing your exercise routines, or not walking your talk all the time! You will be humbled at times with this process, but clarity will be significantly enhanced. All great leaders have heightened awareness . This one quality will make you stand out! source: speaking tree
