Today's Gift - what are you good at?

Today's Gift -- Hazelden meditation series

Chinese proverb -- 天生我才必有用
Whoever I am or whatever I am doing, some kind of excellence is within my reach.  -- John W. Gardner

It's easy to forget how important we each are -- to our parents, to other family members, to our friends.  We are in this world, even in our particular family, because we are important and necessary in the lives of others. It's easy to feel not so important though, especially when we we think we're not good enough at anything we try.  School or work comes easy for some.  Maybe not us. Athletics come easy to others. Maybe it's helping around the house that's easiest.  Each of us is very good at some things. And it's okay to not be good at everything.

How can I show my talent today?

Often we tend to be oblivious of our talent because we thought nothing of it since we can perform it so easily  until someone praises us or points it out to us.
