Recently, I was tricked into admitting I was color blind, when I'm not.
I'm not sure how this will work, putting this down in writing. A verbal exercise is best. However, the lesson is pretty inisghtful.
Whereever you are, right now, I want you to look around the room for anything that is brown. Anything and everything. Right now. Maybe your wallet is brown, right there on your desk. Maybe your desk is brown. Maybe you have a shirt on the floor that is brown. Maybe you're in a cyber cafe, what is brown there?
Behind you, under you, left, right, up, down. Looking for things that are brown. Now, before you shut your eyes for 30 seconds, I'm going to have you get a mental image of where all the brown items are.
Now, before you shut them, use your hands to sort of give yourself tunnel vision so that you can read the next step after 30 seconds. It may not work, as I said, it should be verbal. But here goes.
While your eyes are closed, picture where every brown item is. Close your eyes now. While they're closed, what in the area is red? Blue? Yellow. Without looking, picture in your head everything that is red, yellow or blue.
You might be better off trying this with someone else in order for the point to be valid.
The point of the exercise is that while we focus on looking for brown, we lose focus on every other color.
So what does that really mean for the DJ? It means that opportunity is all around us. We just have to see it. We spend so much time looking for something specific, (i.e.: a girl) that we miss other opportunities. (another girl, a job, etc.)
So, remember, try to see everything - not just what you're looking for.
