The things that take us places may not be what we expect, and this can be a good thing. We do not want to know the journey, but we want to experience it. The things that take us places may be things we thought were not important or had no use to us. The knowledge we have could set a foundation of truth for yourself and you can try to share what you have learned along the way. Learning from others is just as important as trying to lead them. We want to be constantly learning new things, gaining new skills, improving our lives in new ways. We want to gather as many resources as possible that we have, so that we will feel safe and have a good feeling that we can take on the world. Learning new things keeps us from the same old thing and can strengthen us both internally and externally. We want to have some pressure in our lives, so that we have a chance to thrive and see what we can manage. We do not need the walls caving in left and right, but maybe we can have a challenge or two to keep you on your toes and your mind sharp. Some of my best times have been when I have worked hard to learn something and find out you are good at it. Confidence is never something to dismiss because that boost you get can help improve your life. You do not need to be overconfident to the point of being arrogant, but we do need that boost to help put the smile on our faces. What does the world owe me? It owes me everything with interest and I want to collect. That is how it can feel sometimes and how we wish things would go. I know you must go through a tough battle that leads nowhere, wasted your time, leaves you on empty. How is that fair? Life is not fair, but you can try to get some breaks for yourself to keep yourself going. What if it takes me two minutes to get somewhere it took someone thirty 30 years to? What if I am never able to do something that someone can do right away? It can be a humbling experience, but people will face it. We do not choose what we excel it, but we can choose how far we want to go with the things at which we do excel. Please again do not waste my time with the I am not good with anything speech. You are good at something, or your family knows you are good at something or your friends. Sometimes we must communicate to get the things we want and sometimes we need to keep our mouth shut to get the things we want. Life can feel like you are going through one of those National Treasure movies where you must solve some puzzle or you can immediately say the puzzle is now complete. I know that I can feel equipped to use my words to try to get my point across, get my feelings out, share what I have learned with others. Go improve your gift right now!
