Ep. 5 How to Find Your Gifts When you Don't Think You Have Any
Have you ever wondered why they dont teach us about our gifts in school? One of my favorite scriptures says your gift will make room for you and bring you before great men. Notice it didnt say your education will make room for you. It didnt say your connections will make room for you. It didnt even say your money will make room for you. Its your gift that opens doors and allows you access.
For nearly two decades I had no idea of my gift nor my purpose. It's amazing they teach us about history, English, math, science, physical education, and yet I have never taken a class on the most important element of my life, finding out what my gifts are which lead me to my purpose. Did you know each and every day there are over 1 billion people searching for what is my purpose on Google since that is the case why Not add it to the school curriculum
A lot of times your gift is the thing you do so well but dont recognize, this makes it hard for you to find it. Your gift comes so naturally to you because its part of you, it's something inside of you that comes outside of you. Some people have easily identifiable gifts like they are athletic, they can sing, they are naturally humorous. A majority of gifts are not easily identifiable like productivity, the ability to solve math equations, organization, collaboration, and many others.
Most people will see your gift more clearly than you will. For myself, there was a gift that Ive always had and many people would tell me over and over including my wife that you are so good at this. They would say David youre a teacher your good at teaching and I would always think teaching is for teachers in a classroom. Remember these gifts have no boundaries and cannot be confined by. I would teach naturally and it wasnt something I sought after or looked for.The gift can be so close to us and we dont think it's anything special so we devalue our own gifts because weve been using those gifts our whole lives.
That gift that you have that innate talent, that special unique ability, that thing your able to do or multiple things your able to do without much effort, thats your gift! I didnt think my ability to teach or encourage was special or to even be seen as a gift. I know now the power of my gift and I want the same for you. I believe everybody on earth has a least one gift they can use to make a difference in another person's life.If you dont know what your gifts are I am going to challenge you to ask people close to you to tell you what they see in you that comes naturally to you.Like one of my mentors Delatorro McNeal says it's hard to see the picture when youre in the frame. You may be surprised at what you find and then when you identify you have the responsibility to develop it and from that development more doors and opportunities will come to you. Let people help you find what you are unconsciously amazing at. Maximize your gifts and you will receive gifts also!
