Hidden Depths

You’ve heard the old proverb “Don’t judge a book by its cover” many times I’m sure. But do you ever find yourself surprised at the hidden depths you find within others.
There have been many occasions when I thought I knew someone, and find myself pleasantly surprised when I find that hidden “treasure” within them.
Someone that may seem hardened and cynical or shallow. Then you find out that they volunteer to help children to read in their spare time away from work.
Maybe you are talking with someone who is normally quiet and reserved, socially very shy and suddenly the subject touches on their passion, art, gardening, cars, their children…their eyes light up and they become almost another person as their passion for something they love. You learn so much about who they are as talk with them.
Always amazed at those moments, how they touch you and change the way you see someone else.
My final thought to leave with you is to look for that hidden treasure in others that you meet, even those people you think you may know. They may truly surprise you, and enhance your life in taking the time to get to know them for who they are.
If your not sure what I mean by this, watch the youtube video of Susan Boyle on Britain’s got talent and you will have no doubts.

A great reminder! It’s a wonderful surprise to find others’ hidden treasures. As long as we keep our eyes open, we can spot these opportunities. I’ve enjoyed seemingly unlikely friendships because their hidden passion or talent connected us. Excellent example in Britain’s Got Talent’s Susan Boyle.

Jennifer,
I know what you mean, people that you find that connection with, because of those hidden treasures, always seem to surprise us. Thanks and what a hidden treasure Susan Boyle is, beautiful voice, beautiful heart!
