Message: How do you identify your gift?
I’m 20 yrs old and still don’t know mine.
Your gift is something, I believe, that has always been with(in) you and to discover it I feel you need to listen and pay close attention to yourself. What’re the things you do well? What is that something or somethings that you feel drawn towards? I feel finding your gift can be tricky because there’s so many distractions in life; there are distractions at every second of the day so really pay attention to yourself and what you feel is a reoccurring subject in your life-something that could even be small, but when you put energy into the thought, can potentially become a large picture you can paint. Your gift is something that you can’t shake. Delve deep into your mind and spirit and ruminate on all of the things you enjoy doing- one of those things can be something you’re gifted in accomplishing.
Don’t feel pressured to discovering your “gift”. I think knowing your gift is comforting when you are possibly going through a confusing and uncertain time in your life because it brings some clarity and assurance, but you can tap into so much of your other potential and interests in the meantime. Sometimes not focusing on finding your gift and simply living, experimenting, and trying new things will bring you closer to discovering it because again, you can shake it and it’s always within you. You may have to experience a bunch of crazy, far off things before you are able to notice that one thing that keeps occurring and coming back to you. Don’t stress it, just keep living and learning and one day you’ll have that “ah-ha!” moment. I’ll be 24 December and I honestly am not quite certain what my gift is or if what I think it is, truly is. But I know one thing, I’m not going to let what I don’t know stress me out, because you never stop learning, especially about yourself and you’re only 20, you have SOOOOO much more learning to do!
I hope this advice helps you. -K
