=============================================
When
we think of people who were born gifted, we most often think
of famous people, artist or world leaders. They are definitely
gifted, but I have a surprise for you. You too are gifted.
We are all born gifted and it really doesn't matter what
gifts we were born with. What matters most is what we do
with our gifts.
When
we use the gifts we were born with, we will go farther and
be happier in life. It is only when we ignore those gifts
that we can feel unfulfilled. Often what happens is that
we do not recognize our gifts for what they are. We think
that because we are good at something everyone must be good
at it too, or we think because we are good at it the gift
has no value. Not true. We all have special gifts that are
unique to us. Perhaps we are great communicators, or good
nurturers, or have a green thumb. Gifts come in all varieties.
The
task of life is to determine what your gifts are and then
decide how to use them. We may want to turn our gifts into
our profession, or use our gifts in our volunteer work,
or in a hobby. We don't have to make money with our gifts
to have them be of value. Using them to make our lives and
others richer is priceless.
Coaching
Gifts
come in all shapes and sizes. We all have many gifts. The
gift really isn't the important thing. What is important
is how we use it. An unused gift is a terrible waste.
The
trouble is that we don't always recognize our gifts for
what they are. The first step in putting our gifts to use
is to discover what gifts we have. Once we become aware
of and appreciate our gifts we can begin to use them for
our own benefit and the benefit of others.
Make
a list of all the gifts you have. If you are having trouble
coming up with ideas, have someone close to you help you.
Often others can see our gifts more readily than we can.

Quotes
"I've
always known I was gifted, which is not the easiest thing
in the world for a person to know, because you're not responsible
for your gift, only for what you do with it." Hazel
