Keep Your Eyes Open

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
Be aware of the space, world, people, and events going on around you. Sometimes we are in such a hurry or we're so focused on what is going on in our own head that we miss things. Slow down so you can pay attention to the small things. Pay attention to how people are feeling and what they are saying (or are trying to say). If you keep your eyes open, you will pick up on the millions of possibilities and opportunities that are out there waiting for you to find them.

Along those same lines...
GIVE PEOPLE YOUR FULL ATTENTION
When people are talking to you--no matter how small the topic seems--look at them, think about what they are saying, fully listen to them, and give them your honest response. People deserve your full attention and you will feel better and enjoy the relationship more if you show them that they (and their thoughts) are important to you. When you are with people you love, let the stress of the world fade away and just be there with them to enjoy their company at that moment.
