Listening to your passion leads you to your gifts
Do we all have gifts? Are some people more richly blessed with natural abilities than others? What happens if, in our lifetime, we don't discover our gifts? For many people working toward a better life, these questions trip along the back roads of their mind, and so they should, since it is vital that we deeply contemplate these matters. It's essential that we all spend time getting answers to these questions.
I personally think each of us is chocablock full of gifts. Different, diverse and unique, they are a consequence of being human. Knowing what they are, and actively expressing them, will result in health, happiness and more fulfilled living - and that's exactly the better life that most people desire.
Aside from offering us more enriched living, our gifts are the doorway to our destiny. They are expressions of the soul and have the potential to lead us to work that feeds both our soul and our bank balance. When we combine our gifts and our work, we take the 'heath, happiness and fulfilled living' up a level, to moments of pure joy and abundance. I have been a motivational trainer for years and yet I am still awed when, at the end of a talk or course (which I have loved presenting), someone gives me a cheque. I leave on cloud nine, considering myself the luckiest person alive.
It's my personal mission to help as many people as possible to live at this level. Imagine a society of people doing work they love - Monday morning blues would be replaced by Friday freedom feelings, everyday!
But I have discovered something else about gifts: in the moment of working with your gifts, a mystical process, beyond yourself, is activated. In that space doubt falls away. Ideas, words and actions come together to move you to a level beyond your own knowledge, skills and ways. It's as if you're operating at a higher realm where your spirit drops into your body and says 'let's go - you're doing the work that you were put on this planet to do, so relax and be helped'.
I have also discovered that when I'm working my gifts and following my highest possibility, I automatically lift others up too, offering them the possibility of doing the same. Following my dreams and using my gifts is not only good for my soul, other souls are fed too. Expressing your gifts always helps others. Even unseen expressions of your gifts releases a powerful energy into the collective consciousness. Don't limit the mystical process unleashed by those unpublic moments.
What you totally love doing is your gift. What sparks a natural focus and passion in your being is your gift. If you love working with the public, being a shop assistant is living your destiny. If your mind cannot stop thinking about high finance, being an investment banker is walking your path. There's mystery, magic and power in your life when you do what you love doing.
You do have gifts, plenty of them. Everyone is worse off if you don't work with them. So this week, listen to your passions and celebrate your soul by letting the world see your natural abilities at work.
