"What You See Is What You Get"
Dear Friends,
"What you see is what you get" carries more truth than we often admit.
Look at this scene below from the Masai Mara in Kenya: three Thomson’s gazelles stand in sunlit grass. What do you see?
Now, what if I told you something else hides in plain view?
Would you believe me?
Would you linger to search, or dismiss it with a quick “Who cares?” if the answer isn’t instant?
Suppose I assure you a cheetah lurks—would you look again?
Many would, yet most might miss it, giving up with “I don’t care” or “I don’t believe you.”
This moment hints at a broader truth… Most of us, most days, fail to see what’s right before us—threats or opportunities that are masked by habit or haste. The gazelles, unaware, mirror our own vulnerability.
Why do we miss so much?
Could it be that our minds, overwhelmed, filter out the Sacred amid all the secular noise?
This isn’t just about the plains—it’s about life’s journey. What we choose to see—danger or grace—defines our path.
In a world where Spiritual forces, both light and dark, shape our days, this power matters.
The Art of Living calls us to
SCAN BEYOND THE OBVIOUS,
SENSE WHAT IS HIDDEN and
GUARD OUR VERY EXISTENCE with quiet and dignified grace.
Post Scriptum: Did you see?
When looking at this scene from the Masai Mara in Kenya, did you see the Cheetah hiding? Yes /No?
Is it not often the case that if we don’t go looking for something we won’t see it / find it?
Similarly is it not often the case when we do go looking for something we still don’t find it … even if it right in front of our eyes?
The truth is that are our eyes are not perfect and our minds plays tricks. But imperfect as they are we must use them as best we can.
Until next Thursday,
God bless,
