It's Time to Share Your Gif

Are you hiding your gifts? My mom passed in 2022 from cancer. When she passed, people shared stories about how she had touched their lives. They often mentioned what they learned from her, even though she always felt she wasn't smart enough. But she was incredibly talented—she was a seamstress, could draw, do hair, and fix things by just looking at them. When other parents didn't know what to do with their kids, my mom always had a way. Recently, I found one of her notebooks. In it, she wrote, “What good is a gift if you keep it to yourself?” She explained that we should deploy our gifts, bringing them into effective action. She used the analogy of troops being strategically deployed for a mission. If you're not using your gift, you're on the wrong mission, and things won't work out. She defined key terms: Deploy: Bring into effective action; utilize. Effective: Successful in producing a desired or intended result. Position: A particular way in which someone or something is placed or arranged. Station: Assigned to a specified place for a particular purpose. You're hiding your gift, so you're not in position or fulfilling your assignment. To make the most of your gift, you need to deploy and develop it. This means advancing and promoting its growth, which might require reading, practicing, or even taking a class. My mom wrote, "To bring out the capabilities or possibilities of my gift." I believe we often have multiple gifts that are intertwined with our main gift. That main gift is the primary category, and the others are subcategories. So, let's bring out the capabilities of our gifts to a more advanced state. We have to: 1. Stop keeping the gifts to ourselves 2. Deploy the gift. 3. Develop the gift. #DeployYourGift #DevelopYourGift #LifeLessons #MomWisdom #GiftedAndGrateful
