OVERLOOKED
The Hidden Cost of Underestimating People, Potential, and PurposeBy Dave Uwaifo
Length2h 13m
About this audiobook
Some of life’s greatest losses are not caused by opportunities that never came—but by opportunities we failed to recognize.
We overlook people because they haven’t succeeded yet. We dismiss ideas because they begin small. We underestimate potential because it hasn’t produced evidence. And sometimes, after listening to the opinions of others for too long, we begin overlooking ourselves.
OVERLOOKED explores the hidden cost of judging people, potential, and purpose too early. Drawing from biblical wisdom, human behaviour, leadership, relationships, and personal development, Dave Uwaifo reveals why greatness is often invisible before it becomes undeniable—and why preparation matters long before opportunity arrives.
From David being left in the fields to the unprepared virgins who arrived too late, these lessons reveal a timeless truth: what appears ordinary today may carry extraordinary significance tomorrow.
This book will challenge you to recognise value earlier, prepare more intentionally, believe beyond appearances, and never allow delayed recognition to become diminished self-worth.
Because sometimes the opportunity you’ve been waiting for isn’t missing.
You’ve simply been looking at it without truly seeing it.
