Not What You Are Paid For, But What You Were Made For (Chapter 5 - Act Like a Success, Think Like A Success)

Everybody has a gift.  

Our creator, in his infinite wisdom, created every single should with a gift.  Your girt is completely unique.  No one can rob you of it.  You are the only one who can choose to use it or to ignore it.  You have the power to permit it to be used to enrich your life.

Your girt is the single thing that you do at your absolute best with the least amount of effort.

You all have a gift.  Its not what you are passionate about or what you hoped, dreamed, or wished for.  What do you do the absolute best with the least amount of effort?

Your job is not your gift.  Your gift is more than a job.  It may be one of the places where you can use your gift but you should be able to use your gift in your relationships, your communities, and throughout every aspect of your life.  Your gift is something that is connected to you where you are working or vacationing.

Passion is an emotion, but it will never be your gift.  Your talents are also not your gift.  What we do well often blocks us from finding out what we do great.  I think of talents as the lesser to one's gift.  Talents can be learned while a gift is inherent.  Your gift cannot be studied by another and then performed at the same proficiency.  

"Your gift will lake room for you and put you in the presence of great men."

Proverbs 18:16

After you identify your gift and decide to use it, your gift will lead to the fulfillment of your life's purpose and mission.  Present before you will be a wonderful opportunity to live a life of riches.  Your success will be tied to the gift that you were freely given on the day you were born.  Your gift will unlock all of the mysteries of your life.  Your mission, your purpose, and your destiny will all be tied to one thing - your gift.  I guarantee that your whole life will have new meaning and direction when you recognize your gift and decide upon the most valuable way to use it.

Success Actions:

1 - What is the absolute thing that you do at your absolute best with the least amount of effort?

2 - What is that one gift that other people associate with you?  Why?

3 - If you followed the advice of these other people, how have you utilized your gift?
