To Be Observant Is To Be Wise

When I was smaller, I’d look at my feet while I walked around. One day I was visiting my Grandma Stucki and she said, “If you keep looking down like that the whole world is going to pass you by and you’ll never know it.”

Since that day, I’ve worked very hard to be observant. It’s funny how grandma’s can offer one line of advice and have it be remembered forever. I just enjoy noticing things now and I believe it has made my life more enjoyable. I don’t need to be obsessive compulsive but observing also allows my mind to stay busy.

You can be visually observant in everyday little things.

Being observant of your surroundings will offer you more opportunities to serve others. You will see what they need and how best to offer it. 

One thing I do is keep a list of things people enjoy. That way, when Christmas and birthdays come around I’m able to offer a gift that I know will be appreciated. 

I’m glad that grandma was observant enough of me to offer her advice and change my life.
