Do you see yourself as valuable?

Seeing oneself as valuable is not a widely held belief!  

Sadly, many people don't recognise their own self-worth.  Far too many are going through life oblivious of the fact that they have value - and are  valuable!

Ignorance of this fact often shows up in:

• Negative held beliefs individuals have about themselves, and 
• How they treat themselves... and others! 

When you think you have very little to offer the world, the tendency is to settle for less than your best.

You have a set of special gifts that makes you unique.   

These gifts that are hard-wired into you and you came into the world with these gifts.

   
Being gifted is not something reserved for a privileged few.!!  

Every individual on planet earth has unique gifts!  

Similarly, no two persons are the same.  

In, Victor Frankl's best selling book,'Man's Search for Meaning'  He states:  "Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfilment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone's task is unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it."                             

This is why you are a Masterpiece!

There is no one quite like You!!

Given this uniqueness, you should stop comparing yourself to others.  

Comparison is the thief of joy.  It often leaves us with negative emotions of: inadequacy, frustration and despair!   

It's a waste of time, a zero-sum game and no-one benefits.  

The answer is simply this...  Do You!!

Yes, that's right! 

You can 'Do You' simply by switching your focus to your strengths and embracing those things that make you unique, i.e. your gifts... your natural talents and abilities.   

Stop wasting time trying to develop areas that you suck at - at the expense of what you are naturally good at.  

Why waste time focusing on your weaknesses?  

Have you also noticed that often it's the default position for so many,  to go to great lengths in pointing out the things we are not good at?   Instead of working on and developing our natural talents, so they become strengths that we are not ashamed of showcasing to others.

Why do many individuals spend time in jobs & careers that they hate?  

Often is it because hey are either:

• Fearful to step out of their comfort zone, 

                                                 or

• Lack clarity about what they're called to do.

One thing is for sure, spending time doing things you hate is a surefire way to frustration.  
 

Whereas, Engaging your Gifts and doing work that you love, on the other hand, is one of the most satisfying ways to live.   

Discovering your God-Given Gifts will help you to harness your UNIQUE VALUE.

Your special gifts are those innate talents, strengths, or abilities, that come natural to you.  

Your gift(s) shape who you are, what you do and how you show up in the world. 

In essence, your gifts are linked to what you love to do, and what you naturally do best.   

To put it succinctly, your gifts helps you to:    

1. Discover the value you bring to the world,  
2. Live your life with purpose.
3. Live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Ancient wisdom, gives us a clear result of what happens when we use our gifts. 

A man’s gift makes room for him. and brings him before great men.    Proverbs 18:16 (NKJV)

 
Your gifts should not  be squandered! 

Your gifts will enable you to fulfil vision & the purpose for which you were created. Your Gifts will make a way for you in life. 

Yes! Using your gifts, leads to you finding: 

• Real fulfilment, 
• Purpose, and 
• Success in your Life & Career!
