Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. -Malcolm S. Forbes

When I was growing up, I always wanted to be special but believed I was only equipped to be ordinary since I didn’t have a tangible talent.

I thought that real talent was limited to things you can see like a painting, taste like a meal, or touch like a piece of furniture. I felt discouraged by these things for a long time.

The special thing I have to offer is not accessed with the senses. It’s transparent so that I can see yours more clearly. It lets me see you and your potential and then hold up a mirror so you can see it for yourself.

Today I’m sharing the reasons why I believe it took me so long to figure these things out. I believe these could be the same reasons you may struggle to see your own unique gifts.
