 The ability to play football is not a gift. In fact, I don't believe there really is anything that we are "gifted" with. The definition of gifted means "talented, accomplished, proficient, expert." Society deems someone "gifted" when they are successful at what they set out to do.
I'm going to argue that you may not even need the talent for it...plenty of successful people will tell you that they didn't think they had the talent, but had the love, drive and perseverance for their passion, thus becoming accomplished and considered gifted. Once upon a time, I was nominated for "Athlete of the Quarter" in high school (yes, you can laugh). I led an awesome aerobics class! Was I talented? Heck no! (Those who know me will fully agree!) But I had passion and drive, and that's what was noticed. People who are considered "successful" hone in on what they love, practice the hell out of it, and don't let anything get in the way of their passion. Likewise, "psychic ability" is not a gift reserved for a lucky few. I could choose to play a sport. I would certainly never be called "gifted." But I could play and love it! And may even become accomplished in it with some (much) perseverance. You can sing. You may never become a viable contestant on American Idol, but you can choose to sing, not judge yourself, and love it! It's time to stop calling "psychic ability" a gift. It's not. It's a birthright given to us all, and it simply means: Following your gut. Following your gut (and heart) will help you navigate everything from which route to take to work to what to say to a grieving co-worker. It's a necessary skill to be developed in this current state of the world. Here are a few steps:
In order to make this world a saner, more joyful place to live, it is necessary that you follow your intuition. Develop your talent. Need help? It's why I teach what I teach. Contact me. In the meantime, Live in Love. Carrie Contact@carriebeleno.com 610-351-2220

Well, all of us are entitled for our opinion. While there are some people who do not see it as a gift, I see it as a precious one because not everyone was given the chance to have such huge passion towards football, or to sports in general. It's a gift that we take care of and study so we can get better from time to time. All skills that we have are gifts from God we should be thankful for. But I respect our opinion, we are all entitled for you. Leave a Reply. |
