What are you missing?

In the winter of his ninth year, Frank Lloyd Wright was walking across a snow covered field with his reserved, no-nonsense uncle. As they reached the far end of the field, his uncle stopped him. He pointed to his own tracks in the snow, straight and true as an arrow, and then to young Frank's own tracks, which crisscrossed and meandered all over the field.

"Notice how your tracks wander aimlessly from the cattle to the woods and back again," his uncle stated with a scowl. "And see how my own tracks aim directly to my goal. There is an important lesson in that."


Years later, the famous architect relay
ed how that single experience had so affected his outlook on life. "I determined right then," he said, "not to miss most things in life...as my uncle had."

Where is your focus?

What are you missing out on?

Is your narrow vision of life keeping you from experiencing the world around you?

"The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving." - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Now you think about that...
