We spend a lot of time in our lives just watching. What are we watching? Depends really. TV, movies, internet, people, plants, animals, planets… this list could go on and on.
During our “watching” what are we really seeing? And are we really paying attention to what we are seeing? Is what we think we see really what we are seeing?
It could become a matter of how we view things. How we were raised. What we believe in. Sometimes reality can take over and sway our thoughts into a whirlwind of never before seen or thought ideas. Scary huh?
Would you agree that there is a difference in “watching” and “being attentive”?

I always enjoy your posts Tony and this one was very thought provoking. It reminded me of the difference between listening and hearing. Thank you once again!!
ReplyDeleteIn the military we call it "Situational Awareness" and it is defined as not just watching and seeing what is going on around you but understanding what is happening around you and understanding it's effect on you and your mission.
ReplyDeleteBeing successful in business requires you to be situationally aware as well, not just watching as things happen around you.
Great post Tony!
