Continued from page 1
A person with a very low aptitude for observation (again,
Johnson O'Connor term) is not bothered by lots of clutter. They don't notice it.
We each have our own gifts.
By understanding that we are all gifted in different areas, we can stop judging people who do things in a different way. In an orchestra, trumpet player does not judge piano player for not playing trumpet. To do so would be silly.
Make sure you are not forcing any square pegs into round holes. To do so is teaching a pig to sing. Annoying or even hurtful. And don't let people annoy or hurt you. Let's each and every one of us find our gifts and present them to world.
Isn't it grand that one size does not fit all?
AND TODAY . . .
Today value your own gifts. Do you have an aptitude that is crying to be used and that you are keeping dormant? Clues are always being given to you about your gifts. If you are quiet and listen, gift's call will whisper (maybe shout) to you somewhere in your mind or heart.
Heed call and see what goodness that gift will bring to you and others. It will be an extraordinary release.
Today celebrate gifts of which you are already wholly aware, too. Make sure they get your full attention and gratitude.
And please celebrate gifts of others. Don't judge if they have chosen a different instrument -- or if they can't sing. Each one of us has our own aptitudes. Rejoice for all who have claimed theirs.
