"But so many of us check whether we have power
with the main switch off ... the switch being risk,
curiosity, passion and love."
Mark Nepo
As parents or mentors, we seem to be honoring the individual gifts innocently displayed when children are still quite young. As peers, we are no longer discouraging unique strengths or forcing individuals onto family business or parental choice. There seems to be more tolerance to let individuality unfold.
Adults, who were raised differently, are often unaware of talents beneath the surface as they have never been encouraged to explore them. Lacking clarity or failure of recognition, we do not feel we are in possession of anything particularly special.
Once unearthed, our gift, no matter how big or how small, joins our connection with spirit and contributes to a greater sense of being and doing. To activate our strength whether in gardening or shoveling, we bring an uplifting sense of being whole. It stirs joy within us helping us to feel more whole.
