Sometimes we go through life without really looking at things. Observation can bring to life variety, because when we don’t look for details, we miss out on something new. Learning something new excites us because of the discovery element.
We learn something interesting that we didn’t know before, or we see something little different from what we’ve seen before. The magic is in the details. Learning about the details take the mystery out of something.
Milton Erickson thought it was very important to experience things without analysis. When we analyze things, the experience becomes lost. But details are different from analyzing an event or something we do like walking and talking.
Learning the details are learning the ‘what’ and analysis is more about learning the ‘why’ we do things a certain way. Observation looks for the ‘what’ to find new discoveries of life.
