Motivation & God-given Talents

I am really enjoying this class so far. I love the motivational aspect of this class. It couldn’t have come at a better time in my life because of the current things that I am going through. I feel like we could always use a good pick me up. I liked reading about Erica Mills’ story and her success. She had success because she listened to what people wanted which is a very smart business strategy. She wanted to have the every-day card, for the little day to day things. She understood that no matter where you are in your life that you need a good pick me up. I can relate to that as well. We all need a pick me up. We all need to hear that we are worth it. We may know it and believe it and even trust in it but hearing it is different. It is special and it means so much more when it is coming from someone that you look up to and cherish.

I enjoyed this week’s activity of asking five people what you do better than anyone in the world. (God given gifts that give you great joy). This week, I was very ill and couldn’t leave the house so I wasn’t really feeling good about my life and myself. Everything seemed dark and miserable. I couldn’t picture when I would be healthy again and feel like myself. When I asked others, what makes me unique, I was overwhelmed with the responses.

My husband, Jarrett said that I am caring, the best supporter of him and others and the best back scratcher out there (haha).

Meg- born natural leader, all things fashion, loyal friend.

Mom- Outgoing. People like to be around you because you are fun and loving

Ami- Outgoing

Crystal- Bosses people around (my older sister, ladies and gents.) I took this as constructive criticism like that I am a good leader, haha.

TRY THIS:

Find something that you lost track of time doing. A calling must serve others. It must matter to me. What need today calls out to you? What problem do you feel you were put on this earth to solve?

Who did I love?

Who loved me?

Was I a good person?

This helped me to focus on what I want to become. It helped me to see myself through others eyes and sometimes that’s what we need to do. We need to remember what we are GOOD at and not what we aren’t good at. We need to be our own #1 fans and to keep trying even when things seem to be too hard to bare. We need to keep going and remember our special talents. We need to remember why we are here and to discover our God-given talents and develop them. People need our talents and they need who we are.
