Choosing what we observe is crucial as this will ultimately reflect in what we learn and what we pursue. In a world where everything thrives on immediacy and impulsivity, observation allows us to set aside the distractions, tune down the noise, and embrace patience and silence. Something which allows us to properly align our course to our goals. The art of observation allows us to see the ephemeral nature of life, and thus brings us a sense of urgency and purpose otherwise not seen. Just like the prey who just laid eyes on a passing predator - what we choose to observe is key, and may impact us more than we might ever imagine.

“If you gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
