“It is when we all play safe that we create a world of utmost insecurity.”
The Gift of Insecurity:
Insecurities are feelings of self-doubt or inadequacy that can stem from various sources, such as personal experiences, social comparisons, or societal pressures. They often manifest as a lack of confidence in one's abilities, appearance, or worthiness, leading to stress or diminished self-esteem. Feeling insecure can become a catalyst for growth.
Personal gifts or talents can help people overcome their insecurities by giving them a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. When people recognize and nurture their unique abilities, they often gain confidence and a stronger sense of identity, which can counteract feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt.
Finding your gifts often involves stepping out of your comfort zone, which requires exploration and experimentation with new activities or skills. This willingness to venture beyond familiar territory allows you to discover hidden talents and strengths that might remain undiscovered if you stay within the confines of your comfort zone.
Trials and Revelations:
I have a unique ability to delve deep into things and uncover their underlying meanings. Unlike many people who see things at face value, I like to connect the dots and seek to understand why things unfold as they do. However, even these gifts have their limitations. I took years of experience and observations, in good times and in bad, to realize that I excel at this.
Here is an example of how this gift adds value:
A family member got sick, and my intuition strongly suggested they needed medical attention. I encouraged them to seek medical attention despite their initial hesitations. The outcome of that visit was nothing short of extraordinary. It turned out that my intuition had been spot-on. The doctors detected a medical issue that, while seemingly minor at the time, could have potentially escalated into a life-altering problem if left untreated. Witnessing this tangible validation of my instincts was both humbling and empowering.
However, I've also encountered instances when my heightened intuition led me down the wrong path. Sometimes, I felt like something was amiss, only to discover that the situation was less significant or different from what I had perceived. These experiences reminded me that while my perspective and intuition are remarkable gifts, they are not infallible. They require careful honing and discernment.
Ultimately, my ability to delve deep and uncover hidden truths is a double-edged sword. It grants me a unique lens to view the world, connecting me to the intricacies of life that others may overlook. Yet, it also reminds me of the need for humility and caution in interpreting the signals I receive. My journey is a continuous exploration of these gifts, a quest to understand the world and myself, one layer at a time.
We all possess gifts, but the challenge lies in recognizing what they are and where they can make the most impact.
Find Your Gifts:
I want you to ask yourself what makes you unique:
Are you great with numbers?
Can you have amazing conversations with strangers?
Do you have high emotional intelligence?
Are you able to quickly identify problems and offer solutions?
Does your creativity add special touches that inspire people to feel good?
Here's the kicker - where do your gifts excel? Ask yourself the following questions:
What subjects are you expert at?
In which areas of your life do you excel?
You are special. You are gifted. Find your gifts and determine which areas of life they apply to best. What will happen next is pure magic- as you witness your power grow in a way that serves yourself and those around you.
Final Thoughts:
We overcome our insecurities by creating growth and magic within the things we love. We get to CHOOSE what lights us up and use those interests to create a better world. We have so much overflow that we can impact and contribute to the world's growth and healing.
It isn't your job or mine to save the entire world. Imagine if you had to be a doctor, lawyer, fitness instructor, or actor all at once. That would be too overwhelming, yet many of us live like this in the context of our own homes.
We’re all unique and have different interests, and that's great. We need so many different professions and personalities to make our world work. And we don't have to be everything to everyone.
We are here to work collaboratively to make this world a better place for ourselves and those around us. Let's stay in our lanes and create magic within the things we love.
Amor y Canela,
Monica
