The Red Car Phenomenon

The Red Car Phenomenon
or Baader-Meinhof phenomenon
roughly states
that once you start to look for something,
you tend to see it everywhere.

You might not notice red cars,
for example,
before you started looking
for them
but now that you ARE looking
for red cars,
you see them everywhere.

You might think
there are more red cars
than there actually are.

The red car phenomenon
greatly benefits business builders.

Once we start looking
for opportunities,
we see them everywhere.

Look for opportunities.

Gaze Forward

A loved one
often
replays the bad decisions
in his life.
He dwells on them.

And that is causing him
to make more bad decisions.

While he’s thinking constantly
about the past,
he’s missing opportunities
in the present.

If we drive forward
while
gazing constantly
behind us,
we’ll crash.
We should glance behind us
once or twice
briefly
and then concentrate
on the road before us.

Study the past.
Learn from it.
Then take those lessons
and focus on the present
and
the future.
