Seeing

Your Heart Has Eyes

Garth Beyer

Visual acuity isn’t enough in relationships. It’s not enough when solving problems (or creating new ones). It’s not enough when setting out to create your own business.

Greatness can easier be claimed once intimacy is accepted, engaged, brought forth.

When all we look at is what’s in front of us, we miss a lot.

A co-worker of mine is incredible at being intimate. I always say she has two sets of eyes. One set to see what’s in front of her and one to see how what’s in front of her is. It’s a second, deeper level of seeing.

We can open our eyes, but the best work gets done when we open the eyes of our hearts.

What To Do With What You Observe

Garth Beyer

Relentlessly you’re advised to observe, to notice things, to really see everything that is happening throughout your day, throughout your life. What do you do with your observations?

Write about them? Smile at the moment, then forget about it?

Or invest them, shape the observations into something remarkable, turn them into insights that you can then use to build, to create, to share. Perhaps the best thing to do with your observations is invest them.

Seeing Is Doing

Milton Glaser said, “The great benefit of drawing is that when you look at something, you see it for the first time.”

I like to think this applies to me and my writing the same as it does to you and your form of art.

I could read everything that Malcolm Gladwell has written, then, if I were to type out a story, word-for-word, from one of his articles, I would still be seeing that story for the first time.

Of course, seeing is something much more than observing the image of something, it’s more like seeing into it.

You could craft the same business plan Jeff Bezos has written for Amazon and even after studying every part of it, transposing it would still allow you to see it for the first time.

This concept of fundamental to education. You can be told of a technique or an idea, but you won’t truly see it until you apply it or do it yourself.
