Looking Up

When your head is down,
the world becomes smaller.

You see the pavement.
The cracks.
The immediate step in front of you.

You become focused — but limited.

There is a kind of safety in looking down.
You avoid eye contact.
You avoid distraction.
You avoid uncertainty.

But you also avoid the possibility.

Look at the image.

The walls stretch forward.
The path continues.
Light exists ahead.

Yet none of it is visible
when your gaze stays lowered.

Looking up is not about ignoring reality.
It is about expanding it.

When you lift your head,
You see direction.
You see openings.
You see how far the road actually goes.

You also see people.

Opportunity rarely announces itself at your feet.
It appears in horizons.
In signs.
In signals, you only notice when you raise your perspective.

Looking up requires courage.

Because it means facing the world.
Being seen.
Allowing the possibility to enter your field of vision.

Life changes at the level of perspective.

The same street feels different
when you choose to lift your gaze.

Sometimes progress isn’t about moving faster.

It’s about looking higher.
