The Treasure Among Us

There is a world of treasure all around us. Rarely do we see it, because we do not look for it. The reason we never seem to notice it, would be perspective. Or for the simple reason, that familiarity breeds contempt.

Have you ever seen a child draw, it looks really simple. In fact, when you walk into an art museum you will probably see the same drawing that a child draws, but instead it has a fancy French name. Similarly, you might have a nice pair of jeans, but you get a hole in it. So you might go to buy a new pair. However, it might also have a hole in it. The difference, one is done with flair and the other not.

So many times, there are things that others or you will do, that you take for granted because it’s does not have foreign name. Instead, you see it as nothing seemingly special.

However, what others do, and we do, is sometimes treasure. It’s not worthless. The only reason it would be worthless, is that we lack perspective. This is why, people are always finding new talent, because they are looking for that talent. It was always there, but no one realized it.

If we can add perspective to the things that are around us, you might just realize how much you really have around. When you are not able to see what their worth is because they were familiar, because they were normal, and because you never saw it with fresh eyes.

Humans get use to things very quickly. If you live your whole life with acrobats, acrobatics aren’t probably going to surprise you. On the other hand, if you are someone who has never seen it, you are going to be amazed and awed.

Other times, it takes a while for it to click, to really realize just how amazing someone or something is. If we could have new eyes we would be able to see really all the wonders that constantly surround us.

Sometimes the only difference between what famous people and “normal" people do is really the fame or the recognition. Words “normal” people say are great quotes. The only problem is that a so called “great” person hasn’t said it. Greatness is every where we look, but rarely do you find something if you don’t look for it.
