At this time of year in Great Britain they are a common sight, but no less wonderful when one can see them on a sunny day.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled over a took a few pictures to capture the moment, and also in the rush of life to remind myself that sometimes just to &#8216;stand and stare&#8217; is a delight. A delight that sometimes I fail to take as there is the next item on the agenda pressing us forward.<\/p>\n<p>Yellow is the colour of the Inspirer in Insights Discovery, the Profiling system that I love so much as it can, and does, help people make life changing steps in their performance. At an individual level, at a team level and also making a big impact at a business level too &#8211; if we allow it. And that is the point &#8211; if we allow it.<\/p>\n<p>I was fortunate, as I passed these fields the road was quiet and there was an easy place to pull over and stop. I wondered as I drove off if I would have made the effort if it was less easy. I have to admit that the picture probably would not have got taken; more importantly though, I would not have taken time to stop the pace of my day and think, admire and leave feeling inspired.<\/p>\n<p>With the wonderful technology that we can now carry in a pocket, such pictures are easy to take. The capturing of images to be stored in our electronic files&#8230;.but sometimes our lives can become a series of pictures that record the pace of what we do; and yet we don&#8217;t take time to enjoy. How many of the pictures we take will be looked at again?<\/p>\n<p>I love to be able to take pictures of things that catch my eye. Indeed, I have published books with pictures because I enjoy sharing what I have seen. This also raised some questions which made me think:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When was the last time I went for a walk without a phone?<\/li>\n<li>When did I last go for a walk with just a camera and no phone?<\/li>\n<li>When did I just &#8216;have to&#8217; take that picture, when I could have simply enjoyed the moment; making sure it was logged well in my memory bank?<\/li>\n<li>How often do I really stop and stare and feel inspired by the wonders that surround us?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what questions can you think of to inspire you?<\/p>\n<p>Well I also find yellow a fun colour that makes me smile &#8211; so that is good enough reason to admire these brightly coloured fields. And no, I fortunately do not suffer with hay fever!<\/p>\n<p>My good wishes,<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em><strong>Peter\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was driving along the other day when I passed these wonderful yellow fields.
