appreciate the many things we are thankful for and share that with our
family and friends, can we also think about this? What are the
talents/gifts, I might be overlooking? What are my friends and families
gifts and talents?
Sometimes it's amazing the
insights others have about us. We could ask each other to speak to
that, what they see in us that we might be missing? What "gifts" and
talents do we have that others see and appreciate and we take for
granted and forget to appreciate.
Are
you living from your connection to you Soul desire or someones
projection of what you are? If you can get into a loving and friendly
discussion around this it might clear up some beliefs about yourself and others.
excerpt..
"Although living someone else’s life and burning our own dreams
and talents on the pyres of fear or obligation may sometimes appear to
be succeeding, it never does on the soul level. At the level of
Essence, we are being called to be a unique prism through which the
Divine can be reflected. In response, every fiber of our being is
magnetically drawn toward becoming who we were meant to be. Anything
less is hell for our spirit"
"Each of us arrives in this life with special talents, aptitudes,
and dreams, which we add to, augment, and refine as we mature. These
aspirations and yearnings are the visions of our souls, the blueprints
of our very being. It is our sacred assignment to actualize our
personal visions as best we can, both for our own fulfillment, and as
gifts to the planet and humankind. If we sacrifice our dreams or
denigrate our gifts out of fear or as a concession to others’ desires,
we set ourselves up for a life of disappointment and resentment."
"Living our own life does not make us selfish and self-centered.
Quite the contrary. When we actualize our vision, we become centered in
our hearts and connected to our spirits, which naturally makes us more
loving and less selfish"
What are your special gifts and talents? Do you feel
comfortable "about how you are expressing them? If so, great. If not,
what one small step can you take today or tomorrow to actualize your
unique vision?"
