The Tyranny of the Obvious

Stop Burying Your Head in the Sand.

Truth is obvious yet it is missed by a great many. For, they look for it in the complex, great and mighty things and or events of life. Yet, truth is ever so present with us, ever so close. It is ever so present in the minute details of our everyday life. It is taken for granted because of its simplicity and obviousness. Relax!

"It is the familiar that usually eludes us in life. What is before our noses is what we see last." (William Barrett)

Relax, my friend. There is a lot you can learn by simply being calm and appreciating the things you already have. There is a reason why you are where you are. There is a reason you are who you are. There is a reason all that has happened to you has come your way. It is all for you not against you. Relax! You are fulfilling purpose. 

"Never assume the obvious is true." (William Safire)

You are knocking off the things that don't work. You are noting the ones that do. You are learning. You are growing. You are becoming. Only let it work for you, not against you. Will you? There is wisdom in small, deceptively looking small packages. Don't miss out on them.

Like Jim Rohn so rightly said,

"Success is the study of the obvious. Everyone should take Obvious I and Obvious II in school."

Time to go back to school.
