Unwrapping your gifts

Why is it easer to talk about our faults than our gifts?  Last night during my workshop we were completling our final exercise which was to create our Life's Mission Statement, an exercise used by iPEC.

The task was list 3 things that make you unique.   Immediately I heard a low grumble of "oh no".   If instead I asked the group to list 3 of their faults, the response would have been  "oh that's easy".  One person was brave enough to say  "I don't know what my gifts are".  I'm curious why that is.  Possibly because we have always heard it's not good to brag or maybe we were raised in a household that focused on what was not right so we could fix it.    

Remember whatever we focus on increases.  When we only focus on our faults they continue to grow and develop into our core beliefs.  Imagine the shift of energy we can experience by starting to acknowledge and recognize that which makes us unique.  If you really can not find anything that is special about yourself try asking a dear friend, I'm sure they can help you.  Use these new found strengths on a daily basis and begin to feel the transformation.
