“You are not born with full knowledge of the abilities you have; a curious mind explores life and discovers them.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 11
The walk-through
You don’t arrive already knowing what you’re capable of. It has to be found — and curiosity is the thing that finds it. “You are not born with full knowledge of the abilities you have; a curious mind explores life and discovers them.”
Innocent ties this to having a role in life: your abilities meeting the chance to use them. When you haven’t found that yet, it shows up as hopelessness, frustration, a life that doesn’t quite make sense. When you have, the same load becomes easier — even enjoyable — to carry.
The way in is to stay curious and open: notice what makes you happy, name the skills you have, try new things. Each ability you unlock opens a door you couldn’t see before.
