We are often lost on how difficult growth can be that we sometimes forget just how much of a privilege it is. How many people can afford to take up a second degree in the University for instance? How many can afford to build a business? We complain but many people do not even have the fundamental tools for growth like education and basic infrastructure.
I took this perspective thinking about certain challenges I have been facing of late. One required me having to sell a substantial portion of my Hive assets. I was pretty beat up about losing them now but kept reminding myself that opportunities lie ahead to reclaim what had been lost. All goes well I should be able to do that in a matter of months. This epiphany I name the privilege of opportunity.
Most people who complain about difficultly also need realize that those opportunities given to another person in need will be effectively utilized. It is like the parable of talents in the Bible where the one who complained about the amount of coins given to him had it stripped and given to another person. Perhaps a realization sparks certain actions that prompt us to better maximize the opportunities right in front of us.
There are some opportunities that open up to us right from the get go. Those ones are sometimes overlooked and under appreciated. The ones which we strive to open up are a lot more difficult to decipher and prompt a larger sense of appreciation. Take for instance the opportunities that open up having completed a degree or stabilizing a failing business. That pathway for sustained or advanced growth is a privilege, but so is the process that created the pathway.
What would you do for opportunities? By virtue of location or family background one may already be more privileged than others. People work their socks off just to create opportunities for themselves, while some who have it don't even recognize it or appreciate it. We have to really give it to the goal getters who create something out of nothing. It is always said that there are opportunities everywhere but it takes a really determined person to see them in really difficult situations.
Hive A Ball of Opportunities
The crypto space as a whole is one bag of opportunities. We have literally created massive opportunities to revolutionize our traditional sectors out of nothing. It didn't exist a couple of decades ago, now the opportunities are endless.
Hive in itself is one of those platforms even within the crypto space that stands out in terms of opportunities. There is the potential side of things, where we hold on to Hive assets and watch them grow. There is also the innovative side where the opportunities come in various forms. Finally the barrier for entry and earning is so low that everyone with a basic smartphone and internet education, coupled with a bit of literacy can partake. The aforementioned are privileges on their own, so recognizing that should motivate us to build our Hive assets and presence to the extent where the opportunities will come to us.
