It's easy to be ignorant of your gift: Working with your gift (part #1) [micro-essay]
This is #1 (of about 7 I think?) in a microseries of posts on "Working with your gift" | 100 DoW #52
Preamble:
Hey friends, this is micro-essay #1 (of ~7) in a miniseries on "Working with your gift," which itself is part of the 100-day Creator Challenge I’m doing. (Yeah, I’m probably making it more complicated than I should.)
When we choose to dive deep into the cold, dark waters of our souls, we get to see what gifts we’ve been blessed with
As most of our gifts are innate to us, we rarely feel they are unique to us. We may assume, incorrectly, that everyone has the same skills, strengths, or way of thinking as us.
Thus, we frequently ignore our gifts for a long time and may even be afraid to use our gift—which we do not yet know is a gift—to its fullest potential (because we might have been hurt by its dark side).
When we don’t realize that we have a gift or we don’t know what our gift is, we cannot use it to its fullest potential.
So we must recognize that the most significant part of our power is only unlocked when we look beneath the "surface." Only when we choose to dive deep into the cold, dark waters of our soul, do we get to see what gift we’ve been blessed with.
So what is your gift? What is your superpower? (And how will you “save the world” with that?)
Regards,
Jibran
