Every individual is born with a gift and the potential to fulfil a purpose in life. Your gift is an inherent capacity to fulfil a need in society. Our innate abilities and gifts must be self discovered. It is only found within you and no where else outside of you.
Passion & Desire:
Our deepest desires and passions are directly aligned with our potential. You may look within yourself and your abilities aren’t glaring because they need to be refined. The desire you have gives you an assurance of the thing you must do. Passion is an area of production and not consumption. We engage in our passions in some form every day. Very easily are we triggered by passion and that is an indicator of the abilities and potential we possess to solve a problem.
Persistent Thoughts & Ideas:
A thought or idea that is constantly replaying in your mind is a passion that won’t subside. Do not ignore it; write it down and set out a plan of action and execute. The purpose of your gift is to serve and contribute to humanity. Letting your gift go to waste hurts the world and it hurts you. Paying close attention to the ideas and thoughts that never leave you will help you discover the gift within.
Conclusion:
Ask yourself what do I desire, what am I passionate about, what triggers me. The answers you get will steer you toward the gifts you possess. Satisfying the needs of others, offering a solution to a problem or making a contribution and offering a service is a gift. Your gift is the source of your value and it is defined by your purpose.
