No one has seen what is inside…until you are doing it there and then
It should be delicious and juicy (which is what most of us hope for when we peel an orange), but on occasion, it can also be poor and not what we are expecting at all. We could therefore be slightly disappointed in that moment as we were expecting so much before we peeled that orange.
No one else knows exactly what you contain inside of you unless you are willing to show what that is.
Others may anticipate someone who could one day show greatness. This could certainly be the case with family members hoping you can become something extraordinary.
Now, this greatness doesn’t mean being world-famous or inventing something extraordinary. It is using the talents you have been blessed with to their full potential. Not hiding them away, but instead letting them out and trying things in life until you find your “thing”, whatever that “thing” is for you.
Some others who don’t have your best interests at heart, as can happen on occasion, may believe you won’t amount to anything at all and are less likely to want to see what lies underneath “your” surface.
They could be fearful of what it could reveal. Perhaps someone not amounting to anything and not fulfilling their true abilities. They don’t have much faith in you.
But only you can answer what you have beneath the surface. Is it worth seeing?
Have you used what you have to the best of your abilities to fulfil that faith that others may have placed in you and what they think you could achieve?
Or have you just given up and taken from life? Instead of giving back and revealing your true abilities?
While you are still breathing, you can show people who you really are. And make that reveal something wonderful.
Surprise others with your attitude, your outlook and your uplifting nature. Make the world “better” by revealing a little of YOU, the true YOU! The one who has hidden it inside.
Do it!
Don’t hide; show the world the real you, and make a positive difference to everyone you meet. Be “the orange” that everyone will want to see.
