What's
Up Front
By Sheri McGregor
What do you put in front of you?
I ask this question because what's in front of us, what's right within our
sight, is often what we reach for. Positive results can come from placing
beneficial things within your reach.
Today, I realized suddenly that I hadn't been taking my green food for at
least two weeks. Green food is a powder made from, well, green foods. When
I take the bland powder mixed with water, I see a definite result -- in
things like my hair and nails. So why wasn't I taking it? The answer came
quickly when I went to look for the canister--and had to stand a
stepstool, moving bins of flour, sugar, and cooking oil to get to it on
the top shelf. No wonder I hadn't been taking my green food. It was out of
sight, and out of mind.
What beneficial items are out of sight in your life?
Stop for a few minutes and really consider the question.
Maybe what you've let slip out of your sight is a healthful product or
activity like my canister of green food, your daily vitamins, or even a
good book you intended to read. Or maybe it's something more abstract --
like making time for play, or a dream you let slip behind the hassles of
daily life.
Sometimes another strange phenomena occurs. Things we once cherished and
appreciated, beautiful things have somehow become hidden to us. Like a
beautiful butterfly hidden in plain sight among dry, dead leaves, the
things that are important or beautiful to us can sometimes be lost to our
thoughtful sight.
.
Whatever important items or ideas you've lost
sight of--whether they're truly hidden or you just don't see them-- take
stock of what's in front of you, what you do clearly see. The things we
keep in front of us are often what we reach for. And these very things
might just be blocking the way.
The next step? Take action. Shove aside the bins of cooking oil, flour, or
whatever else is blocking your view of something beneficial to your body,
your mind, or your figurative heart and soul.
It's never too late to reclaim something you've let temporarily out of
sight.
