JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT UNDERSTAND IT DOES NOT MAKE IT BAD
When humans first learned how to control fire, it must have been strange, unfamiliar and weird. Today, fire allows us to cook food and get warmth. So how do you relate to people or things that you don’t understand?
Unfortunately, most of us tend to judge quickly and negatively things we don’t know. In fact, 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.)
Friends, it’s in the unfamiliar that we find hidden opportunities. It’s in the unknown that we find hidden treasure.
I urge you today: Be open minded about what you don’t know. Don’t hate something because it’s strange and despise not what you don’t understand. Instead, learn to have a healthy curiosity for the new, strange and unfamiliar. Investigate the unknown and pioneer potentialities. That stranger can become a great friend. That new idea can unlock wealth for you and it may be the one thing that changes your life forever.
So take an interest. Be a bit more curious. Investigate the strange. Learn new things. Be adventurous and discover new opportunities. Do this and see how greatness will come your way.
