Use Your Gifts

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

Everyone has gifts. Skills and abilities they've been God-given or worked hard to develop. But fear and doubt hold a lot of people back from sharing them with the world. In this episode, I share a challenge a mentor gave me years ago that I've never forgotten, and a recent lunch with a good friend that reminded me why using your gifts isn't optional. It's actually your job. And here's the hard truth, withholding your gift doesn't feel selfish in the moment. It feels safe. It feels humble. But someone is on the other end waiting to receive it. Today is your reminder to discover, develop, and use your gifts in the service of other people. It's three words we live by at Optimistic Outlook, and they mean more than ever.
