2 keys to successfully embrace your talent
- Love who you are: Some people mixed out at this point of loving who they are which has cripple their mind to believe they are good at anything. Loving oneself is the best tool to start with in carving one’s future. The truth remain if you don’t love who you are, you can’t see anything good about yourself. If you can’t see anything good about yourself, obviously you can’t achieve anything remarkable.
God is talking to you and He said,
“Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and ordained thee…” (Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 5)
It is wise to understand that you are the way you are, is for the best of your responsibility. God is a perfect God and He made all things beautiful in His time that includes you. god deliberately made you the way you are. If you are short, it is as a result of what God wants to correct and perfect through you. Your height is amazing, is the best for your responsibility, for you to perfectly fit in and get it accomplish. You can perfectly fulfill your responsibility the way you are, anything more or less than that, you can’t fit in. likewise your complexion and everything about you. You are the best ever! Stop seeing yourself from the physical, and start seeing yourself from our Manufacturer point of view.
What people say about you may not really matter at this point. Yes people may say you ugly, but God said you are beautiful. Wow, which report will you believe? People may say you are too short or tall and despise you; but God is saying, “I am your maker, I love you the way you are. There is a responsibility I created you to accomplish so that I can reveal my glory through you.” Any time you stop loving and start hating who you are, you start getting frustrated; because even God may not make sense to God. So far I may not have convinced you to start loving yourself, but one thing is certain, God must have taking all the time in creating just you.
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm chapter 139 verses 14)
you are living for something. Not for yourself but for He who created us, to accomplish a specific responsibility which you alone can. You get to love yourself not because anyone says so, but because God love us and created us in His own image and likeness. He said, “You are beautiful.”
- Believe in your potential: Now you have found every reason to love who you are, can you begin to look within you and picture the remarkable potential that you possess. It is good to understand that you are created with potential. If you don’t believe this, stop doubting yourself and begin to accept what God has deposited in you. You are not created an empty vessel, you were created a vessel fill with potential to reflect God’s glory. The clear picture of who you will become is the potential within you. Is in your power to accept it, believe it and make the best of it.
We so much limit ourselves by what we can do at the moment and forget to see what we could do in the future. Believe in your potential is not about your past, neither is it just for your present, is all about the future. And the future begins this very moment.
When Samuel asked Jesse, “Are here all thy children?” (1Samuel chapter 16 verses 11)
Jesse replied, “There remaineth yet theyoungest, and behold he keepeth the sheep.”
You see, he was telling Samuel there remaineth the smallest boy, and the only thing he can do best is to take care of my sheep. So you can forget about him and concentrate on these ones. Likewise every members of the family see David the same way.
When a champion in the armies of the Philitines rosed and challenged the armies of Isreal, they were dismayed and afraid. But when David heard the challenging words of Goliath, he became angry and was imagining how an inferior wear uncircumcised army trying to defy the armies of the God.
When he stood before Saul, he only saw a untrained young boy. Yet David saw himself as a champion. He quickly reminded Saul.
“Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.” (1Samuel chapter 17 verses 34-35)
It was obvious that host of Isrealite armies saw a champion who want to disgrace them in the face of the whole world. But David saw slew army whose died is about to be announce harassing the armies of Isreal. What do you see? Or what are you seeing about yourself and that challenge. No matter the discouragement surrounding you, don’t give up on your potential. There are more we are capable of doing if only we can believe in our potential. If we do, it will amaze you we will solve individuals, families, society and the world problems.
Get ride of self-imposed limitations. If David and many great people we heard about had inflint themselves with self limitation, of course you and I know they wouldn’t have make any difference in life. Life is difficult enough on its own, let us not make it more difficult by imposing additional limitations on ourselves.
Conclusion:
Your potential lies within you, and is up to you to stir it out. What others think does not matter. Your family background does not matter. Your past ugly experiences does not even matter. One thing matters most at the moment, believing in your potential.
