Everyone has a gift, but not every person recognizes what his or her gift is. Being able to identify it is the key to fulfilling the unique purpose of your life.
However, don’t confuse a gift with talent. Anyone can learn a talent, but a gift is something you’re born with.
If you’re not sure what your gift is, ask yourself these three questions:
• What can I do that I’m best at, with little effort on my part?
• What is the one thing that other people associate with me?
• I’ve listened to others connect this gift with me, so how have I used it?
Find yourself and reflect.
If your gift is writing, how can you use it in the most valuable way? Your way might not be in writing fiction—it could be motivational writing instead. Or, if your gift is listening, think of all the ways you could use it to benefit the most people.
