Ep.9 Do You Need To Be Successful In Your Gift Before You Share Your Gift?
Do you need to be successful in your gift before you share your gift? The answer is no.
Imagine if we got to see the process or the journey of the most successful people. The nuggets we would have gleaned along the way. The Mozarts, the Helen Kellers, the Serena Williams, the Oprahs, the Bill Gates, if they did not start sharing their gifts with others, would they be where they are today?As youre going through your journey, your peek, your success, you have to understand there are people that would love and benefit from that journey. And that is what we have to do: share. Share that podcast, share the knowledge, share that book, share that course, share that idea whatever it is, whatever you can do, you should share.
A lot of people feel like they have to get to the pinnacle of their gifts before sharing it. The truth is that you need to develop and constantly develop your gift but you also need to understand that the way to develop it, is through sharing it. Your gift, no matter what state is in, is no good when you keep it to yourself.
When you share your gift, you are actually opening doors and opportunities.Your gift will make room for you. It will give you access to opportunities. I became a professor because someone saw my teaching gift. I was invited to make a presentation at an event of 10,000 small businesses.I got little information but I still prepared as much as I could. After my talk, there was a gentleman in the program that took me downstairs and told me that he was going to give me a teaching position in their organization. Now imagine, if I turned down the opportunity to speak in that event, I would not be a professor right now. You dont know how many opportunities youre missing when you decide to keep your gift to yourself.
LeBron James is not just great because hes talented or has the body thats builtfor sports, but also because of his work ethic. Some of his teammates say that LeBron doesnt take a day off, a play off, a workout off. He works his gift like a person who doesnt have one. You need to work your gift like the person whos not gifted at it.
I challenge you to treat your gift with the highest level of degree and intentionality that it deserves.Your gifts have unlimited capacity to grow and develop. Our gifts, though they are given were not confined to stay where they are. You can enhance your gifts in so many ways to make yourself unstoppable.
Do me a favor and do yourself a favor, share your gift relentlessly. Share it, there are people waiting on you.
