Everyone excels at something

Regardless of where we’re at in life, we need to remember that we are all gifted at something. Our purpose in life, I believe, is to use this gift to help and inspire others. Generally, to make the world a better place.

I also believe that when we’re not using this God-given talent we tend to fall short. Our lives aren’t as fulfilling as they should be. We feel discontented. Bored or unhappy. This is when negativity can seep in. We feel depleted of energy. We may even feel resentment or jealousy.

A great way to counter such negative feelings is to know yourself. Understand that you are a unique individual. You are not meant to be someone else. Accept yourself for who you are, with your own unique gifts. Understand and realise that you alone can contribute to the world in a way another cannot. This is because when we bring our own unique abilities to the table together we can collaborate and exchange ideas. We can find solutions to problems. We can create something that will inspire and move.
