How to Discover Your Hidden Gifts and Talents

Writing and speaking about spirituality, manifesting, and partnering with the Universe to reach your highest potential has always been something I’ve wanted to do.  And while I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come, I realize I still have a ways to go.  Practicing even when I’m uncomfortable or nervous, constantly stepping outside of my comfort zone, has dramatically improved the amount of content and value I get to share with beautiful souls like you!

There was a time when I didn’t feel like I was good enough to start writing, and DEFINITELY not good enough to hit RECORD!  The fear and insecurity I felt about speaking about something I was passionate about was so outside my comfort zone that I felt paralyzed to actually do it, and do it consistently.  

I would compare myself to the women who had already reached the level of success I wanted to be at, and come up short every time.  I felt like an impostor…who would want to listen to me over these amazing polished speakers and writers?

I remember one day realizing that I couldn’t NOT share the message inside of me anymore.  It really didn’t matter if nobody listened.  I HAD to go for it with all that I had regardless of how bad it might come out.  No matter who showed up to listen, and even if I was alone on my live video the whole entire time (which did happen often at first!)

It’s not that I suddenly got a boost of confidence.  On the contrary, I was actually terrified.  The belief I had in myself hadn’t increased, the fear hadn’t decreased, but the KNOWING inside of me was stronger than any of the rest.  

God within me was making it very clear that I had a calling on my life to open my mouth and speak.  I knew that there was a message within me that had to be communicated through spoken and written word, and the only way I could find out for sure if I had what it took was just to do the thing and keep doing it until forever.  

I made a commitment to myself that day that I would show up daily and speak and write no matter what.  No matter how bad or uninspired it seemed.  No matter who wrote it or said it better.  No matter what the voice inside my head told me, I was going to do it anyway.

Now, like I said, I’m not at the top of my game….yet.  And the fearful voice still yells loudly (maybe even more loudly now) but I’ve learned how to tame it, and keep on pushing on so that I can discover more and more of the hidden gifts and talents within me.  

And you can too.

Good-hearted, spritually-minded entrepreneurs like you and me want to make a difference in this world, but way too often you feel like you’re just not good enough. You’ll end up comparing yourself to others and decide you’re way better than that one and not as good as the next and…..

….well you could spend a lifetime checking out what other people are doing and how well (or not) they are doing it.

But you have a life to live, a message to share, and gifts to release in this lifetime.  I know this to be true because nobody is left out of this promise.  You have free will to answer that calling or not, but the calling is there for sure.  

And with the calling comes the all the talent and gifts you require to get the job done. 

The problem isn’t that you don’t have what it takes.  The real problem is that you’ve forgotten how genius you really are!  

You’ve just forgotten!

So I’m here to remind you that you have what it takes.  

And I’m also going to tell you how to discover those hidden gems that are still shining brightly inside you, albeit being dimmed by your insecurities and doubt.  Once you realize the potential within you, those insecurities and doubt will take a backseat and let you drive the ship with much more confidence!

Uncovering Your Unique Gifts and Talents

  1.  What used to light you up as a child?  Do you remember singing at the top of your lungs or running around being a super hero?  What did you get lost in doing where time just disappeared?  The interpretations that you child-mind made might not translate exactly to your gifts or talents, but they will shine some light and connect the dots.
    For example, when I was younger, I wanted to be a model or actress.  While these 2 paths were not my purpose, being seen was a huge part of it.  My desire to model and act stemmed from my God-given gift to be seen in a big way speaking powerfully to thousands of people!  My little mind wouldn’t have been able to identify with being a powerful speaker, but the desire was there nonetheless to be discovered when I was ready!
  2. What seems to be so easy and effortless it almost seems silly to call it a talent?  What have you been good at since before you could remember?  What do all of your friends and family come to you for advice for?  These answers could be clues to the hidden gifts that you have that you’ve never recognized.
  3. On the flip side, what do you yearn to do but don’t think you could ever do?  Who do you admire and look up to, wishing you could be just like?  You might (and most likely do) have a hidden side of yourself that you’ve tucked away and forgotten about because of limiting programming developed at a young age.  When you recognize your light in someone else before you recognize it in yourself, you’ll feel jealousy and comparison come on strong.  But that’s just evidence that you have that same talent latent within you!

Every last person on this planet has infinite power and ability to be the person they desire to be, without limits.  You are not the exception.  What you believe has zero to do with anything.  You were born with the blueprint for success.  You have been promised to be handed all that you need.

But if you wait for it to happen before you act on it, you’ll be waiting forever.

So get to work doing anything and everything you know how, and the rest will be delivered when the time is ready.  

Realizing that you have what it takes is the first step,

the next step in putting one foot in front of the other and just doing what you can every single day.  

Only then will your true gifts be revealed. 

EASE AND FLOW IS THE NEW RICH!

You didn’t started your online biz so that you could struggle and force things to happen.

You didn’t want to try so hard to make sales and get clients. Your intention wasn’t to post and record videos so that people would buy your stuff.

You started this business because your heart told you it was time. Your soul wouldn’t let you wait any longer. You wanted to make a difference, change lives, reach hearts….

You wanted to wake people up to the potential they have within them. You got excited about sharing your story. You were lit up with the message burning inside of you.

You KNEW you were meant for more.  You realized then that there was meaning to your work. You couldn’t hold back and let the expression of what wanted to come through you die.  It had to be released, let out, birthed.

So have you lost your way?

Did you forget at some point that your job wasn’t to count the money and see how many people are in your group and how many views your video has?  Did you forget that the Universe is placing your product in front of the very eyes who need your message, your gifts, your talent?  It’s NOT a numbers game.  Unless you believe that the numbers are stacked heavily in your favor.

Have you forgotten that your Higher Self can run the show much better than you can? If you just allow the miracles to happen as you relax into your calling, the money will follow.

You aren’t supposed to worry about who’s reading, watching, responding, buying.

You’re just supposed to do what you do. Say what’s on your heart. Speak your truth. Listen and obey.

Ease and flow is the new rich.

Because when you’re in flow, things are easy. And things are easy when you’re in flow.

And when there’s flow and ease, the money follows. It just does.

Why?

Because when you’re in flow, the Universe has your back. When you allow things to be easy, THEY ARE!

So can you get out of your head and into your heart?

Can you give permission to the Universe to create on your behalf?

Can you agree to be the channel for Infinite Intelligence to work Its magic?

Because really….what other choice do you have?

Live small or live large. Struggle or ease. Force or flow.

Those are your choices.

And I’m pretty sure I know what you want.

So let it happen.

To you…through you….

Ease. Flow. Wealth. You can have it all.

Make the Decision to Live From the Invisible Where All Things Are Possible

Today make the decision to stop trying, forcing, making things happen.  You’ve asked, and it’s already been given.  Now you just need to relax long enough to allow.

Pushing and forcing makes it feel like you’re really doing something, doesn’t it?  Like you’re making shit happen!  You’ve gotta DO something!  Your mind is racing constantly, trying to figure out all the answers.  If only you had that one missing thing.  And if only you could identify what that thing was maybe you could find it.  So you search, and keep pushing some more, and even when you realize that it feels so forced and you can hardly keep your head above water, you just work Work WORK at figuring it out.

You’ve already asked babe.  That’s all you ever need to do.  Once you ask, it’s done.  The biggest job you’ve ever had is to let it happen.  Yes, it IS that easy!

Instead of letting the pain of not having what you want push you into the struggle of figuring it out, simply let the calling of your soul pull you into direction of all that is already yours.

Follow the path that is lighting up, be available, do all that you know to do….

But not to make anything happen.  It’s already done, remember?  Do you remember?  You did know that at one point.  One moment in time before you forgot.  Before you forgot that it was all supposed to be easy.  You weren’t meant to struggle.

You follow the path that lights you up because that’s what you do.  Because that’s what you were born for.  You do that thing because you can’t not.

So make the decision to live from the invisible, where all things are possible.  Where you choose based on your heart’s desire and then KNOW that IT IS DONE.  Just because you’ve decided.

And then feel that it’s true.  Feel that there is nothing to worry about when you know it’s already done.  Feel it!  Once you’ve decided, it is just done!

Decide.  And then live from that space.  The invisible.  This is where magic happens.  This is where a whole new world opens up and miracles become an every day….every minute…experience.  Decide that this world of form has nothing to offer you.  The amazing experience is simply a creation of your mind.  Your mind is the chooser.  So what have you chosen?

What has your soul asked for?  And have you decided to make it so?  Have you decided to just decide?  Can you?

Of course you can….the question is WILL you?

And I know the answer to that too.

Yes.  You will.

Choose today.  Another day can pass you by and you could fall asleep tonight wishing you would’ve just changed your mind.

Don’t let that happen.  Make TODAY the day when everything changed for you.  Make TODAY the day that the thoughts you think are more important than what has already manifested.  Make TODAY the day that you realize miracles don’t happen because some God way out there has decided that you have been granted a good day.  But instead that miracles happen because they do!  Miracles happen when you are aligned with the God WITHIN you.  Miracles happen all the time!

The only question is are YOU aligned with what is flowing to you?  Can you let go of the struggle and trust?

Trust.  Allow.  Act from inspiration.  Create your reality with intention.  IT IS DONE.

What You Want Wants You

What you want wants you.  I’ve heard this before and thought, “What a cute little way to look at things!”  It made me smile a superficial smile, not fully grasping the depth and meaning.

Too often a really meaningful Truth can be overlooked as a quaint and adorable uplifting thought that quickly gets pushed aside for the serious stuff.  We get fixated on repairing what’s broken and healing our wounds and solving problems and even looking for the problems so we can solve them.  Do you know what I mean?

The ego can and does begin to use personal development as just another way to get stuck in fearful thoughts.  We don’t allow ourselves to see the goodness in everything because we’re so obsessed with changing it.  We use the tools of personal and spiritual development to get more stuff and change our current circumstances but we rarely really allow ourselves to reap the benefits of what this work is supposed to give us.

Life is supposed to be good.  So good!  And it is, right now, whether you decide to see it that way or not.  But you won’t experience it that way unless you see it first.

So back to “what you want wants you!”.  This is more than just a cute idea.  It’s more than just a way of uplifting you when you’re discouraged and unable to manifest the physical version of your desires.

It is a universal truth that, when you feel into it and understand it, will open your eyes and draw your desires even closer to you.

What you want wants you.  The reason why you desire something is because the invisible version of that desire is calling you.  Your desire wanted you even before you wanted it.  It started calling to you and then you realized you wanted it.  Your desire is literally calling out, “Manifest me!  Realize me!  Breathe life into me!”

And you get excited for a moment as it makes contact with your heart. The moment you get excited about that desire, you have made contact with it.  That feeling of excitement IS your alignment with it.  If you could just stay there, it would be in your experience very quickly.

But instead of allowing the universe to work the magic in the infinite ways It knows how, you start to get all heady and try to figure it out.

How the heck will that happen?
I can’t afford that!
I would never be able to do that!
Wouldn’t that be nice?  (With the undertone of, “but it will never happen!”)

And then you lose contact.  The higher version of you is living that dream.  The dream is alive and present but you’re not vibing with it anymore.  And in the moment that you no longer feel good.  Not because it isn’t possible.  It is possible.  It’s actually happening!

The real reason you feel bad is because you’re not vibing with the truth.  Your vibrational energy knows when you’re aligned with truth and when you’re not.  And you know too by the way you feel.

When you feel the excitement of a desire, remember:

  • This desire isn’t new.  It’s been forming and manifesting in vibrational form for a while now.  The fact that you’re now aware of it means that it’s so close!  It’s knocking at your door and asking for you to see it through with the power of your focus.
  • Say “Yes!”  Let go of doubt.  Release your need to figure out how.  It’s already done!
  • The universe has the ability to manifest your desires, and all you have to do is take inspired action when you get the nudge.

Isn’t this exciting to know?  Doesn’t it make you feel way lighter about your desires?  Doesn’t it make co-creating with the universe a lot easier?

Just say yes and know that what you want wants you!

Are You Denying Your Soul’s Calling?

You’ve always know it was true.  It’s amazing that you played yourself this long, really.  Aren’t you tired of the games?  Aren’t you done pretending you are someone you aren’t?  Isn’t it tiring running around in all different directions and putting on this act and practically forgetting who you really are?   

You’ve always know it was true.  That you were different.  An outsider.  You denied it because it seemed so lonely.  So distant.  So outcast.

So scary.  “What if nobody likes me?  What if I steal the show and someone else hates me for it?  What if I don’t deserve it?”  These thoughts that fill your mind and practically drown out the voice of Truth.

And what if you were wrong?  What if you weren’t that different after all?  What if you thought you had something unique but it turns out you’re just like the rest of them, dreaming forever and never really succeeding? 

But you’ve always know it was true.  And that part of you that knows will never forget….will never let you forget.   

I think it’s time that you drop the bullshit and stop selling yourself short, stop settling, stop living small.  Stop questioning yourself, wondering if it’s possible, if you really have what it takes.  

You want it, right?  You feel the tugging at your heart?  It’s this very physical pulling that almost feels like pushing, like it’s going to burst out from you if you don’t get a handle on it.   

That’s all you need in order to know that it’s real….meant to be.  The feeling you get when you see someone else doing it.  Where you get triggered AF because it’s what you want to be doing.  That’s your sign.   

Who’s going to win?  The fear or the vision?  The uncertainty or the part of you who has always known.  The part of you that has to have everything figured out first before you take an itsy bitsy baby step or the part who just leaps because there’s always miracles unfolding beneath your feet?   

I guess it comes down to what you’re willing to live for.  On that day that when you transition from earth to ether, what do you want to remember?   

Do you want to remember making the decision to live like you meant it?  To meet the calling of your soul?  To just get over yourself and do what you do because that’s what you were born to do?   

Or do you want to remember always wishing it would be different?  That you knew you were born for something great but you never really did figure it out because you just never found the time, the resources, the courage.   

Don’t you want to feel, even just for a flicker of a moment, what it really feels like to be alive?  To be beyond human.  To give up the façade, take off the mask, turn towards the sun and be taken over by it all? 

You decide.  But don’t wait too long.  Life is happening as you sit and wait.  And think.  Why not just jump?  Miracles are unfolding beneath your very feet you know.
