Use your talents to the hilt!

I figure, all that you could ever be are the things that you think about yourself and the things that you see yourself doing in your mind. It all starts with what you think about and how you see yourself and that gives way to what dreams you may start fulfilling in your life, in your everyday life. I think of early mornings and I was writing maybe having a harmony with the cool wind of the morning, the still dark atmosphere, the rising sun as it waves to you its rays of light. The clearness of the morning, the clear mind that you have and the spirit which you open up to God in the morning all of this contributes to being a fun time to write something and that is a dream. You create your purpose and you make it happen even if sometimes you just do it for the fulfillment of it even without money. You have nothing else to do, you are not busy, you are not looking forward to a busy day, just a relaxing atmosphere and you commune with the spirit of God. You walk outside and you feel the cool wind and you see everything around you breathes the fresh air and the fresh morning, everyone welcoming the new day.

I advise you use your talents to the hilt! Whatever it is your dream is, try as much as possible to fulfill them for God will definitely give to you the desires of your heart. He gives the desires of your heart. You are definitely made for something. You have a special place in this world that only you can occupy. You have a very special place in the heart of God and only you can occupy that too. God made you unique that only you can produce the gifts that God has given you as your birthright. You think uniquely compared to others. You can do things other people do differently. You are but only one in this world and so you are special. Nothing is more fulfilling than doing the things that you do because of your talents. Try as much as you can to search for that talent that gift where you can use it. Find that calling, that purpose, that job which enables you to be a gift towards others. Share whatever you can share with others and help others along the way too for they might need your help and by using your talents you maybe helping them in the course of their lives. There are others who maybe searching for their calling in life. I advise you to use your talents and discover your gifts. If you have a passion for teaching teach, if you have a passion for acting act, if you have a gift in art then do art, if you like numbers be in a profession that enables you to use your numerical abilities. Use your talents to the hilt! Never be sorry for what you can share. God gave them to you. You should not be ashamed of what you have. A lot of people are timid or shy when it comes to volunteering their talents for use in a given work. This comes in the form of people not wanting to aim for success. They are afraid of success. They seem to think that they cannot do it. Do not compare yourselves with others. There is no comparison. There is no contest. In school, we are always graded and as a result we compare our grades with others. Do not do that! Do not continue on seeing yourself in comparison with others. Instead, celebrate what you can do. Celebrate your uniqueness. Be good, for God who gave you these things is good. He is the source of all your talents and for being that, your talents are good enough to be used in this earth.

In the parable of the talents, the one who has five talents got five more. The one who has two talents got two more. But the one who has one, dug a hole in the ground and buried his one talent. And so he didn't use it for the good of others. Because of this, the master punished him, took away his one talent and left him with none. Much goes the same for somebody who didn't use his talents in this world. Go out, spread your wings, do not let limitations stop you from using your talents. It maybe a lack of education, a lack of confidence, an excuse of a problem with family, friends or colleagues. It maybe poverty, it maybe sickness. Do not let any limitation stop you from fulfilling you dreams, from using your talents. You have the capacity to dream and God in His goodness included in you the capacity also to make them come true. Try and try harder to get what you dream, what you desire. Examine yourself what it is that makes you alive and you now live the purpose of your very life. Where are you good at? What are your talents? What are your dreams? If you don't use your talents, God will take it away. He will say that you are not a good servant. But to the person who uses their talents well, God added unto them so much more, so much more blessings that they are being rewarded for making use of their talents and developing them more for others.

I believe that my purpose in life is to bring the good message to everybody else. It is a fantastic blessing. Another purpose of my life that I am still trying to reconcile with is to provide for my family. In this, I have to reconcile with the fact that I took up Accounting in college as a course since I don't like it very much. I know God does things for a reason and so I am trying my very best to make things reasonable in my life as it affects the life of my family. My second purpose is to provide for them financially. And, probably a third reason or purpose is to be financially independent for the world, to serve others, through providing services or products to people by way of business. Overall, it is service for myself, my family and others. I am trying to fulfill all those purposes through the use of the talents that God has given me. And so as a response to this call, I am trying to be a businessperson so that I will earn enough money to provide for my family and to be financially independent for other people so that I will be able to give my service to other people as well. Life itself is all about living your purpose, doing your missions in life, loving others and taking care of your family, self and friends. God gave all the possible gifts for us to use in this life so that we may achieve the things that we set out to do. Let us do things in a positive way always aiming to help other people especially those who need us.

There are just important things that we need to remember before we can have success in the things that we aim for. Have a good mind. Everything starts with a good thought. A thought that is God inspired will surely be a blessing for yourself and the others affected by it. A dream which comes from God is surely a plan that will hold for the actualizations of God's plans. Have a good heart. Do not plant evil seeds in your neighbor's behalf. Take things as God would have wanted you to take them. Never see or concentrate on the evil but on the good things and always praying that bad things will not reign in the everyday affairs of man in this world. Always be hopeful of the goodness that there is in this world and be hopeful of the goodness that is in others. Trust in the goodness of the Lord that He will provide for you and protect you every step of the way. Have a good spirit so that everything that you do is aligned with what God wants you to do in your dealings with other people everyday. Be a good person and so good things will come to you too. Focus on what is beautiful and the abounding blessings that God give each day. Be thankful for everything that you receive in your life. Ask for fortitude and courage which you need in your daily life. To be able to answer all the problems that beface you everyday.

Always pray for your dreams. Surely, they are good for you and for your family. And mankind as a whole. There is no purpose that God will not support if it is backed by the very goodness that comes from your personality. Live the fulfilled life that God wants you to live by making use of your talents to the hilt!
