Hide and Seek

INTRO

Hide and Seek

As kids, we all somehow learned the game hide and seek.

The game, Hide and Seek, as a metaphor can be quite powerful. In life, we can imagine ourselves as people who are go-getters. We like to grab life by the horns and show it whose boss.

On the other hand, many of us spend our lives hiding from the blessings, people, and opportunities that truly have our best interests in mind.
