Gifts
and talents are like a seed planted in the soil that needs to be nurtured to
a full stature of a tree. No one is created by God without gifts and talents that can make him shine like a star among the rest. Some are born to be leaders,
good advisers and pace-setters. Others are born musicians (singers, composers),
writers, aesthetics, artists, innovators, orators, designers, etc. Some, theirs
is to keep others smiling and happy in their jocular way. Some others render
service perfectly well.
The
hitch is that some, out of selfishness and greed, lose sight of their innate
gifts and talents to pursue what other people’s unique endowments; they often end
up frustrated. Some discovered their own gifts but are not happy to see others
with likely gifts; they end up becoming sadists. Those who think they are less
talented or gifted are those who have not worked on their raw materials. Gifts and
talents are developed when they are channeled towards common good. Any gift or
talent used for narcissistic purposes does not grow. Today, discover your gift,
nurture your gift, appreciate what others have, learn from others with same
interest and talents, and you will shine out like the star in the gloomy sky. Goodnight………..
