Fashion Sense

"To be aware is more important than what you wear."

-- Kenneth Cole

Good old Kenneth Cole, direct descendant of Old King Cole, has his priorities straighter than a high fashion hemline. He knows clothes don't make the man, or woman, consciousness does. Awareness -- clear and unfettered -- trumps fashion every time.

Think about how many things we are exposed to each day of which we are unaware. All the people, smells, sights and sounds, that make barely a bleep on the radar screen of our consciousness. And then think about all the opportunities that come our way that we never even see. Contrary to popular belief, opportunity doesn't only knock once, it's knocking damn near all the time, but most people have the TV turned up too loud to hear it.

So, just for today, simply pay attention. Be aware of all that's around you. You don't have to do anything about it. You don't have to categorize it, judge it, or even understand it -- just be aware of it. Today perception alone is enough.
