It’s a fine line to walk between knowing we’re talented and being prideful about it.
It would seem that the key is to know why we’re so skilled; the purpose that those skills serve.
I’m a decent writer, painter, athlete, scientist, planner, counsellor, animator, musician, speaker, listener, caretaker, student, etc.
None of it matters if those skills aren’t being used to serve God though.
Today I’m called to be a decent chef, and tomorrow, maybe a decent fisherman. Later, possibly an actor or a weather man. At some point, a lawyer…
Who we are is not what we do. The satisfaction is in service to the greater good in this very instant; service in the Now.
God may enlist our skills as a horrible nintendo player, better known to Him as a self esteem builder for the little cousin or niece who takes great pride in being able to show someone how to drive Mario around the race track.
What we do is all just the unfolding of potentiality…
Who we are transcends that…and there needn’t be any regrets regarding this fact.
Why say ’I could have been ______’ when what you are right now is so essential?
Love and Light,
-Rob
