Gifts and talents

 Each individual on this earth is unique and is endowed with set of gifts and talents. The talents vary from creative such as writing, painting, drawing, crafts to practical skills such as business skills, counseling, serving etc. We are responsible for what we do with our skills. We can let them go to waste or we can use them for our benefit and for others. I often see so many people that are working in professions that they are unhappy in and always complain that they are not using their talents. Let me ask you, "Do you try to take a class to encourage those talents?" "Do you try to volunteer in the area of your talents?" Granted that may not make you money, but try doing something towards the area of talents, that will in due time provide you with a contentment that you never knew. Wishing and hoping doesn't make room for your talents. Taking a step towards and devoting a little time from your life will not only give you the contentment but also bring joy and relaxation. So, today take a step in exploring what your talents are and start thinking, "What can I do more to be good at this talent and how can I use it to be a blessing".
