We often miss what's in front of us.

Because of our own biases.

‍

We are humans.

We respond with predefined behavior. 

‍

On top of reality, we:

- add layers of distortion

- add our own meaning and interpretation

- adjust the information to fit our vocabulary

‍

These biases have an impact on us.

They cloud our judgment and limit our ability to see opportunities.

‍

Here’s what I ask myself:

How can we become more aware of our biases and see the world more clearly?

→ Think before I act

→ Look at the nuance beyond my instant response

→ Seek first to understand (paraphrasing Ray Dalio)

My closing thought today is not a question. 

It's a challenge:

‍

Go out, open your heart, and listen more before jumping to any conclusions.
