Honor Your Gifts

Honor what you have done with your life. Honor what was given to you and what you have done with it. It is so easy to take our gifts for granted.

Step into your greatness. You have gathered so much wisdom and knowledge in your life. You have developed skills and abilities that make you uniquely who you are.

Think of the values shared by your family – service, excellence, kindness. These are like the water you swim in. You don’t notice them because they are so familiar. Yet you can feel grateful for the solid foundation they create, contributing to the person you have become.

Appreciate the things you have learned – how to fix a car, how to help others reach their potential, how to program a computer. Recognize the hard work that went into that learning and the value that knowledge has for yourself and for others.
Consider the wisdom you have developed over the years – patience, compassion, acceptance. Celebrate how you have let your rough edges become smoothed by experience.

It is so easy to take for granted the gift that you are and the gifts that you have to offer. Take the time to value those gifts and share them with others. Doing this will help you to make your good life better.
