Have you ever thought about all the things that make up you? I mean, have you truly looked at all the elements that comprise you – your likes, dislikes, passions, skills, talents? Have you considered the questions, “Why am I the way I am? Why do I like what I like? Why am I good at what I do? Why do I know what I know?”

It’s all there for a reason!

Someone may look at your skill of creative storytelling and call you a liar. Someone may look at your gift of visionary ideation and call you flighty. Someone may look at your gift of frugal and thoughtful money management and call you a tight wad. You have to look at your gift and call it what it is…and use it for the purpose it was given to you.

Unfortunately, most people have been so ridiculed over the course of their lives that they minimize their gifts and spend their lives doing work they hate. I challenge you to be you and do you!
