Intentionally engaging until we find it interesting
“I can see that my digging into things that didn’t seem interesting at first glance, has yielded terrific results: Learning, surprise, and happiness to name just three. And not just for myself, but for others too.”
It’s surprising how many things become interesting once I spend enough time digging in. Often, other people’s clear interest is an indicator that digging in will be fruitful. “What do they see, that I don’t?” is a question that creates within me an energizing tension.
