Don’t Forget To Open Your Eyes

Life can be an adventure, it can be crazy, beautiful and amazing. But if you aren’t paying attention you’ll miss it. Since I work at a summer camp I live in the country (at least right now). I was walking back to my room and I happened to look up at the sky, it was close to midnight. What I saw was beautiful. I saw the stars. I’m not even sure there was a moon. But the stars were so bright. I don’t know a lot about the stars. I don’t know many constellations or planets. But I do know that they are beautiful. The idea that the universe is so massive and yet we can still see so much of it every night and not even realize it is amazing! Now thinking about it. How much beauty do we miss on a day to day basis because we are so focused on our self that we don’t take time to look around us? Doctor Seuss once said “You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.” sometimes we forget that awesome things go on around us all the time. I don’t want to be the person who forgets how to stop and enjoy beauty. Maybe you’ve forgotten to look for it lately in your life. All it takes is a minute to stop and appreciate all there is in your lives. But keeping your eyes closed only deprives you. Remembering to open your eyes helps open your life for new and exciting opportunities as well. So open your eyes and you might be amazed at what you see.
