Did you know that each one of us was blessed with a special gift to bring to the world. We are supposed to use our gifts to do a profound work, one that should uplift and enlighten others. A few weeks ago, I was having a conversation with a very dear friend of mine, who told confessed that they were wondering about what the true meaning for their life was and how they were supposed to make a difference. This friend suffered a great tragedy, and said to me as we talked, "I wished I knew what my purpose for being on this earth is. I want to fulfill that purpose, as now I realize that nothing material will truly make me happy." I went on to tell her finding her true purpose is as easy as asking God to reveal it to her, and then to set about the task of looking for the answer to be revealed to her. I did tell her to that once her gift was made clear, she had to immediately get to work on making a plan to share her gift with the world. Some of us have some pretty obvious gifts...maybe you have a great singing voice, or the the ability to make people laugh. Other gifts may not be so clear, or may not thrust you into a spolight right away. All true gifts from God that are possessed by people, will however, open the way for the giver, and puts him or her in the presence of other great people who will appreciate what they have to offer. More than money, or anything material, a true gift when shared properly, will bring a peace and sense of satisfaction to the giver that no amount of money can compare to. If you keep your eyes on what's really important, which is giving the best of yourself, and being infinitely thankful for every experience you have while sharing your gift, you will soon find that you will be changed for the better. Those around you will notice the change too. Oftentimes, they will be inspired to be better also. This is how change in the world is really made. It comes from people like you, realizing their higher calling, not being afraid to operate in that calling, and encouraging others to do the same. Don't be afraid of finding out why you were planted in this earth, at this time. If you keep the faith, your gift will not only put you in the presence of the great, it can will also help you to become one of the great!
