We each have gifts to offer... ways of being, skills, talents, personality traits and so on that arise naturally from ourselves.
At times it is easier to focus on what you are missing, on your defaults, or on what you do not have in comparison to others.
This perspective depletes you and makes you feel small.
When you become aware of what you do have to give you feel full and whole.
Sharing your gifts with others, no matter how small or large, is an expression of love and abundance.
You might not be aware of what your gifts are, yet know deep inside that you are giving whenever you interact with others.
It might be your welcoming smile that warms someone's heart, or your sense of humour that brightens their day.
Perhaps you have the gift of clear communication that makes connecting so easy, or a gentle touch that helps someone feel loved.
Maybe you listen from your whole being so others feel truly heard.
It might be a skill that you offer like organizing details, planning events, or researching subjects.
You may have a talent for creating beauty through art, music or words.
Whatever it is, acknowledge it and share it with the world.
