What are Your Gifts? | Week 10 | Confidence Revolution

Let's Identify Your Gifts

Your gifts are worth being celebrated AND they are worth being explored AND they are worth being shared.  

There are legions of us out there who don't feel like we have gifts to offer the world, but we most certainly do.

EACH of us is worthy of being heard, of being honored and of taking part in the conversation.  All that life asks of us is that we show up.

Last night I forced myself to go to a neighborhood mom's meeting. It always makes me a little nervous because I don't really know anyone and I know I'll have to stretch and have some 'blind date' type of courage. But during the meeting a fellow mom kindly sat down next to me and we started talking and it went like this... "I get you!" "Me too." "Me too." "I know, right?" My heart could have burst. And I came home thrilled to have met a new friend. But if I would have stayed home in my pjs, I wouldn't have experienced any of it.

It's okay to be scared. We CAN walk with fear, into the unknown because we CAN handle it.

Let's turn our attention inside and realize that we are full of gifts and skill and one-of-a-kind qualities. People will like us and pay attention to us, not because we are the best, but because we see them and we allow ourselves to be seen. 

PS. In this video I recommend the book Carry On, Warrior, you can find it here. I finished the book last night and I'm lamenting not having it for a few minutes before I go to sleep every night. Ladies, you're going to love it!

Hey guys - if you're looking to feel better, feel happy and feel confident - I have something for you. 

I 100% wrote this in service of you. I want you to find joy in everyday life! 

Love!
