God gives us two gifts when we are born: Talents and weaknesses.
You may think the latter is not a gift, but I think it may be the most valuable because it will hold the key to your success.
Talents come in many ways. You could have speed as a runner, you could solve math problems quickly, you could be good at remembering facts, and on and on. Many people go through life dismissing their talents, or pursuing talents that are not suited for achieving a level of wealth to support their desires and families. Now I am not saying that talents are all about making money, but it is kind of important. Using your talents to obtain money to live on is no sin. So, what I am saying in a nutshell is that you need to identify your talents early, hone them, and then leverage them to produce successful ventures that will bear fruit.
Weaknesses on the other hand our gifts as well, in the sense that overcoming them is just as rewarding as developing your talents. And likewise it is very important to discover them early and do all you can to minimize their effects to ruin your life. For example, a person with an addictive personality, whereby they become intoxicated frequently, etc. needs to identify this weakness and seek help quickly. Recognizing ones upbringing can be important in identifying these possible traits. A home with addiction for example tends to breed addiction, most likely from genetic standpoint. Overcoming weaknesses like talent needs constant pruning and attention.
And so I plan on expanding my talents and controlling my weaknesses.
This may be my last post for some time. For anyone that has been paying attention to any of this, be assured, I am doing well and with my own self determination and God's Grace I hope to continue to honor God, by doing good works to benefit my fellow man.
