Recognizing Your Gifts

Arjuna Ardagh is a great writer and founder of Living Essence Foundation. If you click on the title of this post, you can listen to his talk. It is great. It is about how to contribute your unique gifts to society.

In essence, what he suggest doing is this: ask 10 people to list ten positive qualities you embody. Notice where certain descriptors are repeated across people. With the most common words found, think about what you can do to give these qualities to other people at least once a month. Then, once every two months. Next, once a week, and so on. The end goal is to find a profession where you can actually give other people your gifts through work by sharing your gifts with others.

Note: If you are a bored lawyer or accountant, do not quit your job for this. Become mindful or your strengths and slowly find ways to apply and contribute your gifts to society.
