I ask again, What is that one thing you are known for? What will people think of, when they think of you? What will they expect when they visit you? What will they get from you when they visit you? Do you even have an idea of what you have? And are you sure that what you have is what people want? When people visits you Will their expectation of you be met? Will they be satisfied that they met you? Or are you pretending to have it but you don’t really have it?
Are they aware of what you have? Or are you the only one aware of what you carry?
You see this is a two dimensional thing. You being aware of what you carry and people being aware of what you carry. It is not enough to know what you carry, it is paramount for people to know what you carry.
You know there are some persons who are very good musicians, actors, speakers, electricians, doctors etc but only in their house. People around them hardly see them practice who they are. They are too timid of showing what they carry. The only time you hear many sing is when they are taking their bath or cooking in the kitchen And you wonder why is this girl or boy not proud of his or her gift? Or is he not aware that it is a gift?
Or don’t you know that? Until you give out something people won’t come for it, until your gift is served other things won’t serve you. You can’t attract the goodness of this earth when you have not given your goodness to this earth. Earth gives those that gives. Givers never lack could be said to mean, givers of their gifts are the receivers of mother earth gifts.
You receive as to the degree and quality of your giving. The more of your gifts you serve, the more of the earth’s reward you receive.
Serving and presentation
A lot of people are carriers of great gifts yet they don’t know that what they carry it’s gift. Alot people are living in poverty today as a result of ignorance of what they carry and who they are. The knowledge of who you are and what you carry changes the equation. You can’t really serve a gift you don’t know you have. Until you recognizes what you carry as a gift you can’t present it. Gifts are presented. Many people give out their gifts without presentation, gifts are meant to be presented. Until you learn to present your gift, appreciation of that gift will be minimal or anyhow. When a gift is presented the reward is packaged.
Check and you will see, many people you celebrate today are people who present you their gifts. They didn’t just serve you their gifts, they presented it to you. There is a difference between presentation and serving, in serving you are the servant but in presenting you are the entertainer. In life, entertainers are well recognized than the servants. The both of them are in the business of service but the difference is in how they serve. Don’t just serve your gifts, present it.
One of the reason a lot of talented men and women are not celebrated is because they have not learned the art of presentation. It is one thing to give a gift and it’s another to present a gift. The latter always comes with much appreciation.
