Each one of us has many gifts.
Each one of us has many talents.
I believe "gifts" are intricately embedded in our Spirit.
We are born into the world with them.
Talents, I believe come from our entire life experiences up until this moment. What we have been through, our upbringing, events, circumstances, situations, skills we have developed.
To "uncover" our purpose, what we can offer the world, the very first step is clarifying what our gifts and talents are.
Be playful with this!!
Grab a pen & paper and let it flow yo!
Our minds (ego) will try to change gears, so it is important to just let it flow, go grow.. no one needs to see this list but you, so let it rip!
If you find yourself PAUSING for toooooooo long, that's likely your mind... analysing, criticizing judging, perceiving etc
