As spiritual beings, we have multiple talents, some very obvious, some we discover as time goes along. The good thing is that we are not one-trick ponies. There are so many parts of us that are not readily discernible at once that it really does take a lifetime to discover the depth of what we carry. And I suspect that there is a lot more to us than we ever uncover, partly because there just isn’t time… or perhaps a lot of precious time gets used in unproductive ways.
Bombarded every day...
There is no question that we are bombarded every day by all the electronic devices around us that carry information of all kinds, some valuable, some not; and maybe we might use a little time to sort out what deserves our attention… and what doesn’t.
Pay attention to the calls within us...
We know ourselves, and we know what is within us that deserves cultivation and promotion. We know when it is time to pay attention to the calls within us that would bring forth another element of our living, vital selves. This is not just a call to the young either. There are gray hairs among us that can still produce surprises! Consider the septuagenarians among us who are running for President of the United States!
