Seeing What We Want To See

"'Mindset' functions all the time, consciously or unconsciously, for better or worse. For example, if you decide you want to buy a hybrid vehicle and ask yourself, 'What's the best hybrid for me?' you can be sure that the next time you're out on the road or walking through a parking lot you will notice the hybrids... Your mindset reflects your sense of purpose, and your sense of purpose organizes your perceptions. In other words, purpose determines perception. As psychologist Abraham Maslow observed, 'People who are only good with a hammer see every problem as a nail.'" - Michael Gelb

Tomorrow I'll go to work. The question is, do I have to go to work or do I get to go to work?
