Preparation

As I was watching a video from Dieon Sanders, he said something very profound. He spoke of focus. He spoke of professionalism. He spoke of preparation, being made ready for use. I watched another video with Shannon Sharpe and he spoke of focus, the center of interest.

It’s interesting to watch athletes, who’ve reached the pinnacle of success and how they share similar traits. I’m reminded of listening to Napoleon Hill and some of his recordings. He’d been commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to document traits of the most successful individuals during his time. While listening to those recordings, as well as these presently, I’m intrigued by not only the traits, but people willing to share their experiences, their emotions, and the benefits of exhibiting those traits.

We all have gifts. The more we work towards mastering our gifts, the more others recognize those gifts and acknowledge us and our use of said gifts.

Today, Saturday, April 4, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’m using my gifts. I could do more to master them and I’m working towards that end.

I’m aware of my gifts and acknowledge those gifts exist. For decades, I didn’t acknowledge my gifts and instead deliberately didn’t use them or ignored them. I didn’t realize the magnificence of His grace with the bestowal of those gifts.

When I’m struggling with motivation or focus I’m able to tap into the resources available and use them accordingly. I felt that way a bit earlier and chose to listen to some recordings along the lines of what I needed.

Are you aware of your gifts?

Do you use them consistently?

How do you work to improve and master your gifts?

How do you display your gifts to others?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
