You have a gift.
There is something, whether you are aware of it or not, that is unique only to you. A work that doesn't feel like work. A task that is rejuvenating. You may not even recognize it because it comes so easily to you. It is so second nature that you do not even consider it valuable. It may seem almost annoying when others praise you for it or point it out.
But at the same time, you care about it. You really care about it.
Sometimes things we care about, we lock away. We want to protect them, after all. We don't want them to fail, after all. Exposing our gifts opens them up to criticism, failure, vulnerability. Exposing our gifts opens us up to criticism, failure, vulnerability.
But, you keep coming back to it. Or it keeps coming back to you?
That's because you are supposed to use it.
It's your gift to the world.
Don't know how? That's okay. It's just may be that you don't know how...yet.
