![Gorgeous, amazing things come into our lives when we are paying attention: mangoes, grandnieces, Bach, ponds. This happens more often when we have as little expectation as possible. If you say, "Well, that's pretty much what I thought I'd see," you are in trouble. At that point you have to ask yourself why you are even here.

We just have to be open for business.](/assets/img/quote-photos/gorgeous-amazing-things-come-into-our-lives-when-we-are-paying-attention-mangoe.jpg)
