If left to its own devices your mind will stay firmly closed - and the life you could be having will pass you by. Open your mind by opening your eyes. Take five minutes - a couple of times today - to look and really see. Notice the colours and textures, the detail of what you're looking at, the features of the people passing by, the colour of their hair, the texture of their skin, their clothes. Stop taking your surroundings for granted because, if you don't, you'll take everything for granted and, in the process, miss it all.

KILLING OR CURING
Your habits are killing you. But like many things in life, your problem is also where the solution is to be found. Breaking routine will depotentiate your mind - grab its attention and develop your ability to focus. And, on the basis that focus is the key to success and happiness, that might be no bad thing!

So, what are you going to do today that's different? How are you going to unsettle yourself? What simple step could you take, right now, to step outside your comfort zone? Until you take such steps, you'll always be too comfortable - or not uncomforable enough - to live an extraordinary life.
