Poet and novelist Hermann Hesse on remaining open and receptive to what the world is offering you:

"When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal...

For in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose."
