Each of us has been given gifts and talents. Our
combinations of gifts are unique to us. Though we may look at others and think
we may never be “as good as” they are in something, or that “we’re better than”
someone else in something else, those comparisons really do not have anyone’s
best interest in mind. It’s kind of like saying, “That grand piano will never
drive as fast as that sports car.” Well of course it won’t, it wasn’t designed
for driving. It was designed to play beautiful music. Rather that feeling blue
about what we do not have or who we are not, we can learn to appreciate what we
do have and exactly who we are. It just requires a shift of focus. If your
passion and talent is in one area, even if the area doesn’t seem to be
practical, it’s important that you develop your talent and enjoy it as much as
you can. People around you can benefit from it, and most millionaires and
billionaires were made because they had a passion for a certain thing and a
career or business formed around that passion. The world may not need another
chef, or another party planner, or another actor. But the world really doesn’t
need another anything. There are plenty of people to fill all the roles in
society. What the world DOES need, is more passion and joy. When you love doing
something, and you share it with people around you, thethe joy is contagious.
You can inspire other people to get more active in what they love doing,
whether it’s the same as you or not. To use your gifts and celebrate them is an
incredible display of humility as it shows that these gifts are appreciated and
were given to the right person.
