What particular
things do you do especially well? Are you a good cook? Do you sing really well?
Do you play an instrument? Do you have a special knack for organizing or
cleaning a room like no one else? How good are you at making people feel
special? I could go on and on. If you think the things you do really well mean
nothing, try asking the person on the receiving end what it would mean to them
if you were horrible at what you do. If you’ve ever taken care of someone who
was sick, imagine how they would feel if you really didn’t give them the
attention they needed because you were self-absorbed. Be thankful for how you
are wired to do whatever it is that you do really well. Always consider the
person on the receiving end before discounting how well you do what you do. And
while it’s important to be thankful for the things you do well, take time to be
thankful for the gifts and talents of others. I would hate to go out to a
restaurant looking forward to enjoying a delicious dinner only to be served
horrible food. Ever spent your money on a concert and felt like you wasted your
money? And who doesn’t like a good movie? We are blessed to experience a wealth
of good talent. I’m grateful to be on the receiving end of those with special
gifts and talents, especially those I encounter on a daily basis in everyday
life.
