Introduction:
When we possess gifts and passions that remain
untapped, we deny purpose a place in our lives. Untapped potential serves as a
calling, urging us to make a difference in the lives of others. It's crucial
that we reassess our purpose and seize the opportunity to utilize our gifts to
their fullest extent. By striving to live healthy lives and channeling our
energy and knowledge to impact society positively, we can walk the path of
fulfillment. As Les Brown said, "I walk not only for my health but also
for those who cannot walk." Investing in social capital becomes an
invaluable lifelong endeavor, as we surround ourselves with friends who uplift
us, hold us accountable, challenge us, and inspire us.
Acting Now:
In life, everything has an expiration date, and it
often takes longer to wear out than to rust. Just like a car that hasn't been
started for an extended period may jam when the need arises, if we fail to use
our gifts, we risk losing them. Passion and talent offer tremendous benefits,
compelling individuals driven by the purpose to contribute back to society. The
world needs passionate people who are committed to living lives of
contribution. Our goal should be to finish strong, extracting from life that we have not fully explored in alignment with God's ordained plan. This
includes inspiring and mentoring others, sharing ideas, establishing a legacy,
and making generous contributions to humanity.
Unleashing Our Passion:
Unleashing our passion begins with finding our
voice and becoming a global force for advocacy and empathy. Our voices have the
power to pour out messages of hope and make a lasting impact. Once we discover
our passion, we must adopt an unwavering attitude, knowing that there is a lot
of noise and disruption in the world. Giving up should never be an option;
instead, we should embrace the greatness within our personalities. As Les Brown
eloquently puts it, "Working hands are holier than praying lips." By
committing our works unto the Lord, our thoughts shall be established, and in
acknowledging Him in all our ways, He shall direct our path. This calls for
excitement and finding innovative ways to use our gifts, accelerating our
emotional and mental growth.
Embracing Challenges:
Les emphasizes that it is a curse when we don't use
our gifts. Each of us has assignments to fulfill, and we should equip ourselves
spiritually, emotionally, and physically to carry out these assignments. This
requires mental fortitude and a willingness to explore new ways of leveraging
our talents, abilities, and skills to develop new products, serve others, and
achieve financial success. The most inspiring experiences occur when we step
out of our comfort zones and discover avenues to express our true selves,
utilizing platforms dedicated to making a positive difference. We can use our
gifts to bless our own lives, the lives of our families, and the lives of our
friends, thereby becoming a source of blessings to others.
Bearing Fruit:
Les reminds us of the biblical assurance,
"Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and that your
fruit should remain." The fruit we bear encompasses contribution,
abundance, love, care, support, and inspiration. It represents the profound
impact we make through our valid and meaningful contributions to the world.
Embracing Collaboration:
To unleash the passion within us, we can embrace
the current trend of online collaboration and become active participants in the
global movement of collective achievement. By establishing supportive
relationships and professional networks, we can learn to invest in ourselves
and leverage our talents, abilities, skills, and knowledge in diverse ways.
Conclusion:
Unleashing the passion within us is a
transformative journey that ignites our purpose, and empowers us.
