Vuja de and making change happen

When you step back to notice, you see things others might not see - and it's hard to "unsee" it.

But once you notice, interact, and think about it you have the choice to do something about it. Do you point it out? Do you change it? Do you quietly accept it?

I noticed that people tend to say "too funny" in a casual way when they're done with a topic or half paying attention. They're not reacting to something funny, they're acknowledge that I think it's funny and they're okay moving on. That's fine.

I also notice that I tend to get restless when I'm doing something I don't like - and that restlessness is experienced in the back of my neck or in my legs. Once I started noticing it, I got to decide what to do with it. In one instance, I put down a book; and in another, I decided to push through.

When you step back to notice the world around you, what do you see? What makes you restless? What makes you question?

You can't make change happen unless you see the big picture.
You can't change the big picture until you stop to see what's around you as if you've never seen it before.

Now that you see it, what if you could do something about it?
