Day 19 – A Talent Of Yours
A bit of “time” has elapsed between day 18 and 19 of this blog.
The irony about today’s post is that I’m supposed to be writing about a talent (something positive) and all it has done for me is exposed one of, if not my greatest, weakness. I have no confidence in who I am or what I’m good at.
So, after thinking about this for a few days and coming up blank, I decided to ask a few friends, “What’s my talent?”
A few single answers were: writing, creativity, style, humor, music, air guitar, quoting movies…but the one that I got more than one of was…
Connecting with people and speaking to their need.
My friends tried to explain what they meant. Apparently, I’m good at talking in such a way that people connect with, and am able to help them through that connection. To be honest, I would have put this down as my “passion.” To hear my friends say that was my greatest talent was surprising. Their check is in the mail.
You have many talents. Just picking one should have been hard. You really shouldn’t doubt yourself. God created you. It’s kind of insulting to Him if you doubt what he created. I know it’s easier said than done though. By the way….you are way behind on this 30-day blog. It’s become the 60-day.
