Develop Your Gift

Develop Your Gift

Everyone has a gift. It is important to develop it because it saves us in situations that are difficult to manage. It will help us to go through painful situations without identifying with them.

Anne Ducrocq

It can take a lifetime to find out what Your Gift is, but it is worth the searching and trying.

My special gift lived a life in the shadows for decades, but finally I gave it the space it deserves and that has enriched my life so much. Writing gives me access to the deepest parts of myself – directly or indirectly. It makes me whole.

However, there is more to gain… One huge advantage of discovering your gift is, just like Ducrocq writes, that it helps you to deal with difficult situations without losing yourself in their grey mist. When stuck in darkness, turn to your gift. Try to let go of your worries, and lose yourself in a creative process.

Whether you paint, write, make pottery, go fishing, or play an instrument – when fully immerged into an activity that allows you to express your innermost core a profound healing is taking place. Fresh air enters your soul, things fall into place, painful thoughts suddenly seem less important – or dissolve completely.

If you have not already discovered or developed Your Gift – promise to take some steps, however small, this week in that direction.
