The Biggest Gift

Life moves fast. At times, life feels as though it’s moving so fast that routine and commitments take over each and every would-be spare moment, making it impossible to chase our dreams.

Time is that luxury that we must take advantage of every chance we get; it’s the one thing that we can never replace or recreate. Taking a chance on ourselves and making the time to explore our passions and gifts is an investment that everyone should make during their lifetime.

It takes courage and vulnerability to say no to people and projects that take away from our precious time so that we can put our intentions to work in the world.

It takes courage and vulnerability to say no to people and projects that take away from our precious time so that we can put our intentions to work in the world. That is the biggest gift that we can give and receive— sharing the talents that we feel we haven’t been to release in the world. Job titles and career opportunities sometimes push us away from our purest passions and truest talents. I have learned that people who always stay connected to their truest talent never lose their zest for life because they are constantly fueled by their passions.

This weekend, I helped two women I love and adore bring their passions to life. Helping them fueled me and reaffirmed how important it is to share your gifts with people who value your vision and want more for themselves. They were both tired of living for their jobs and neglecting their passion.

As we prepare for the week ahead, prioritize your passion. Make a commitment to carve out the time to invest in yourself. Give yourself that gift. Not just for this week, but for the weeks ahead too.

Make plans now to put yourself first in the new year so that you can be constantly fueled by your passions. Set that intention and add it to your calendar if you think life might take over.

What’s your plan? You deserve to unapologetically tap into your purpose. Give yourself that gift.
