If only we had ...

Avatar - watched it countless times, watching it again(writing this assuming you have watched it:-))

Neytiri and Jake have met, and I’ll not bother with the details. Jake starts to follow her and at one point the seeds of the sacred tree starts to rest on him, Neytiri thinks it’s a ‘sign’ from their great mother takes Jake to Hometree, Now we all know how it ended up for the whole of Na’vi.

‘See it through her(Neytiri) eyes’ – Grace tells Jake because he is so focused on collecting Intel and experiencing his new found excitement(legs) as Colonel Miles Quaritch(The guy with the scar) promises Jake that he will walk again if he gathers intelligence from the Na’vi. This plus excitement of the new experience through the avatar, has made him so focused.

‘I see you’ – we hear Neytiri say it aloud more than a few times and later by Jake too.

I think that we all miss the signs around us every day/each moment, as there is so much clatter going on inside our mind, and we are so FOCUSED on what we want, we really don’t stop to see what we have, appreciate it and also see the signs all around us. If only we had seen the signs...

When was the last time you stopped to see the other person’s perspective, we are so full of ME we never stop to see it through the other person’s eyes. If only we had seen it through their eyes...

How many times have we REALLY seen what the other person has done (for us), how many times have we really appreciated it out loud. If only we had seen the other person and appreciated them for what they have done...
