Inquisitive minds

I've come to find that there is a very sharp contrast between what you want and what you can get, what you desire and what you can achieve. Though I may not be readily armed with the best examples I believe each of us is capable of providing sufficient supporting evidence. It seems as though every time I turn a corner there is something new staring me back in the face. I see it. I want it. I discover that, at this time, it is not waiting there for me but making sure I pass by without stopping. I've gotten into the habit of slowing down as I pass by, taking a closer look at what it is that I want and why it is that I cannot have it. I've learned that some things are simply not meant to be had while others are meant to be passed by several times until the proper outcome has been reached. If I have learned, as I say I have, why then do I continue to stop and stare when I know the path my eyes follow leads nowhere? The answer is that everything in my path, whether significant or not, deserves attention simply for the reason that I can see it. Have you looked around yourself lately? Have you seen everything that has been placed in front of you? What significance does it hold? Have you studied it thoroughly before moving on?
