When I was small I used to talk a lot and my teachers used to send complaints at home that your daughter talks a lot. I did not know it was my biggest gift.
Then I wanted to be a doctor as my father said that I should be one. Then I joined Management course and I wanted to work in a MNC. I later on switched to an aviation company and then I became a trainer and then an author. After that a coach. For many years the only thing which I feel good at is talking. So what appeared to be a problem was actually my biggest gift.
On every step I discovered something about myself which i did not know I have. Did I learn something….Did I become something…Didn’t I already have? Isn’t everyone different? How? Because they have been discovering something different about themselves? What we become, we are already that. We just need to realize what we already are. This journey is about become what we are.
It reminds me of a story. A sculptor made a piece of art. Everyone asked him how did you make it? He took them to a rock and said that this already hdd what I made out of it. I just chipped away the unwanted parts.
We all have what we would be becoming but the unwanted parts have to be removed. What are these parts:
May be what others have told us like I was told if you talk a lot, you are a bad girl
May be fears which we learn, like my friend told me that she loves going for treks but when she was small she was scared of heights as she was never allowed to go on any height
Some ego! Like I have to prove that I am better than him!
You do not have to prove yourself to anyone. You do not have to worry. Everyone is blessed with something and you are blessed with something which no one has so yes you are best in that. This journey of life is about discovering yourself. It is about becoming who you are. It is about finding that something.
