DIA is an unusual US airport, as it is one of largest in country, but surprisingly it is well behind smaller airports for its international traffic. The City Hall and airport authorities have been trying to build a successful strategy of international development since early 1990s.

Denver International Airport (DIA) opened on 28 February 1995, replacing old constrained Stapelton airport. The goal was clear: ensuring development of local market and economy by providing room for expansion to airline carrier such as United Airlines. It had since become one of busiest airports of nation. But despite this success, city had yet to secure any non-stop service to Europe, which would boost airport's traffic, and was important to for city of Denver and whole Rocky Mountains region to gain a worldwide reputation and recognition.

What is one strength that - if you worked on it - would make difference in your profession? Is it your ability to draw pictures? Translate feelings into beautiful visual images? Take words and put them into persuasive sentences? Are you especially clever with numbers? Can you sing acappella? Can you inspire people at work? The answers to all these questions will be clues to your natural talents, and most likely to your true purpose in life. Acknowledging and dedicating yourself to your natural talents is path to excellence, success, and effortless abundance.

One of my gifts has always been my ability of asking questions. It seems others appreciate that I ask questions in a non-threatening way that allows others to see their own issues and usually solutions to their problems. I took this gift for granted for many years. As someone who was in medical training, I thought this was a normal thing to do. Inquiring, and trying to get to root of peoples’ illnesses was all part of becoming a doctor.

I realized that this was not such an easy task for every medical student. Later on, when I abandoned medical profession and started working in business realm, same gift helped me again. My ability to ask right questions at right moments helped technical projects to move ahead, made people feel good about themselves, and brought business satisfaction within very challenging operations. Once again, I was focusing all my energy in developing other special competencies of mine, but not acknowledging my natural gift. Why?

Only after 30 something years did I realized that my gift - my brilliance - lies in my ability to ask questions. Once I internalized this wisdom, acknowledged my gift, and stopped denying it, I was able to find my true path in life and start doing work in a way that is deeply fulfilling. The beauty of it is - once you stop fighting it - you get answers to all things that you once had questions about. You are still working hard, but excellence comes much more easily.

So many people, when asked what they are gifted at, reply either “I don’t know” or “nothing.” How sad! I am pretty confident that you have at least one thing that you do well. If you do not know about it, then ask your family or friends and they will point something out. Everyone has something unique to offer in this world. Some have strengths that are abundantly obvious. Others, like me, have gifts that may take some investigation to uncover.

Knowing your strengths will allow you to tap into your inner desires, from which you can plot your path of life. Everything is interrelated. Your strengths will reveal your true blueprint in life.
