Observant

Observing is one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal.  It amounts to focusing, paying attention, being aware, noticing (I've written about Noticing before).  

In being fully observant we have multiple tools available to us by which to take "readings": 

• Seeing
• Listening
• Sensing
• Asking
• Engaging
• Feeling

Through those processes we can fully participate in LIFE.  

Two big inhibitors that get in the way of our observing are:

• Going too fast (gotta get stuff done!)
• Talking too much

Everyone of the things in both lists above are completely within our control.
