There is an urgency in the air.. do you feel it?
I posted the other day on my instagram a quote, “It struck me how desperately our young people need inspirational examples of courageous and compassionate action to aspire to.”
I believe this is more true than ever. It is time for US to rise up. I’m speaking to you. You with a pure heart. You who have the fight and drive deep in your heart to see good in the world.
You who desire to conquer the darkness with light.
Consider this the confirmation you’ve been waiting for. It’s your time to step into your call, NOW.
We each have a special gifting that qualifies us to go into territories and make change. It is your unique experiences — good and bad, that qualify you to go to those places. Only YOU can do it.
You many be thinking, “I don’t really know what my call is though.” That’s ok. I am going to help you.
Here are some things I have learned about identifying your call. My intention is to awaken your gift today.
Think about the 3-5 people that you admire the most. Fact - you admire them the most because the gift you see in them is a gift that lives in you.
Identify the specific qualities in those people that you respect the most. Fact - Those are the qualities you possess that are screaming to be awakened.
Identify your top 3 strengths. What are you able to do so effortlessly that you don’t even consider it work or obligation? These actions/hobbies/skills are your strengths.
Which one of your strengths would you do, paid or not, good day or bad day, in fact it might just be the thing that keeps you sane on your worst days. This is your GENIUS. Once you identify your GENIUS, make it your aim to spend the majority of your time here. You have the capability to become an EXPERT in your GENIUS.
Your genius is your gift to the world. When we work in our genius, we have an overflow and are able to GIVE.
“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
John Maxwell
