It’s in the unfamiliar that we find hidden opportunities.
When human beings first learned how to control fire, it must have been strange, unfamiliar, and weird. Today, fire allows us to cook food and get warmth.
It’s very interesting how we relate to people or things that you don’t understand. We are quite guarded about the unfamiliar. Rightly so but the unfortunate part is that most of us tend to judge too quickly and negatively those things we do not know. At times, we tend to think the worst of anything that we misunderstand. (It’s like that person you didn’t like until you got to know them for yourself.)
I have come to learn and appreciate that it’s actually in the unfamiliar that we find hidden opportunities. It’s in the unknown that we find hidden treasure. Its good sense to be open-minded about what you don’t know. Do not hate something because it’s strange and do not despise what you don’t understand. Instead, learn to have a healthy curiosity for the new, strange, and unfamiliar. Investigate the unknown.
Take up new things. Decide to pioneer potentialities. The stranger can become a great friend. That new idea can unlock wealth for you. It may be the one thing that changes your life forever.
So take an interest. Be a bit more curious. Investigate things that may be strange to you. Learn new things. Be adventurous and discover new opportunities. Do this and see how greatness will come your way.
