Are you using the God given talents and gifts you have to make a difference in the lives of those around you? Do you know what your unique talents and gifts are?

If you answered "no" to the questions, this post will help you to see how important it is for you to not only discover your talents and gifts,but to also use them daily to serve those around you in some meaningful way,as well as to enrich your own life.

We all have been given talents and gifts which when identified and developed,through our personal growth, self-help,and spirituality efforts,can be used to improve our lives while making a significant impact on those in our circle of influence. To fulfill our life's purpose,we must find, develop,and use the talents and gifts we have been given.

It is true,others may have the same gifts,or similar talents,but they cannot express or use them quite like you.
Your gifts and talents,just like your finger and dental prints,are yours alone,and I believe they define you more accurately than any other possessions you own.

This means if you do not use your singular way to express or share your gifts,those whom you alone can reach most effectively,will not be inspired nor moved to seek their unique way of expression.

To give what you have to give,is one of your most important responsibilities.
The following actions will help you to identify and use your talents and gifts in your special way:

1. Identify,if you have not already done so,that thing(s)that you enjoy doing most,the one for which you receive many compliments and kudos;

2. Develop your talent,your gift,by taking classes,workshops,seminars,
reading books,such as "The Passion Test" by Janet Bray Atwood and Chris Atwood;

3. Take advantage of every opportunity available to use your gifts and talents; remember practice makes perfect;

4. Encourage those in your circle to find and develop their unique way of self expression and service;

5. Know that as you use your gifts to serve others, you are also enriching your life and fulfilling your life's purpose.

Each of us wants to make or leave our mark in and on the world. The most effective way to do this is by discovering, refining and using the talents and gifts we have been given.
