Your Gift

I firmly believe that everyone has a talent. A gift that is theirs alone. One true meaning for their existence.

Finding your talent doesn’t mean that suddenly everything falls into neat, successful piles. No, finding your talent means now the work can begin. 

You’ll know when you haven’t found your true gift. Every moment spent on a  new project may seem exciting at first, and it may hold your interest. For a time. And then it becomes commonplace, it loses its luster, and you soon begin to hate this new task.

But when you find your true gift, every commonplace moment is a joy. Every new piece of knowledge is amazing, and you feel the joy long after the moment has passed. It’s the excitement you feel in your bones, your very cells come alive. And even though there is much work to be done to bring your gift to the surface, it feels like unwrapping a gift at every turn.

And just like unwrapping a gift, there are layers to be shed before the prize can be held. There are old thoughts, old ways, that no longer serve a purpose. That is part of the work. Shedding our layers to reveal the gift.

Blessings,
