Realizing Your Gift

What can you write, say, or create well? For me, it's writing a darn good letter. However, what is that something for you?  Some people are masterful communicators. Others are always able to see the positive in any situation. Whatever you do better than anyone else can be a huge asset if you know how to leverage it. 

What role do you play on the professional/work "team?" Are you the ball boy/girl who helps out the team by doing a simple but important task? Or are you the coach who creates the starting lineup? Truth is, every member on the team is important and necessary to the overall group effort. Know your "lane" and where you excel. 

Take a few minutes this week to consider the roles you excel at doing and what you contribute to those around you. One great question to ask yourself is if you are a creator, inspirer, healer, or protector?  Think about how these core skills and interests allow you to be successful because they lead you to your professional and personal purpose.
