Blind.

“Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.” ― Paulo Coelho

In many respects, when you go about things with “eyes closed” you choose to blind yourself to the reality of the moment.

Seeing yourself not as a work in progress – but as fully complete. Becoming distracted by your past and what you think is yet to come. Believing that a failure – or failures – means total defeat. Misunderstanding the true essence of criticism, instruction and coaching.

In short, your eyes may be wide open.

But lacking focus – you will remain hopelessly vision impaired.

Blind to the reality of the moment.
