Giftedness: A Lesson from the Past
Dear friends, today I’d like to share a story from my past, a story that taught me a great deal about the nature of giftedness. It’s a story that took place in the heart of a protest, a place where voices rise and hearts beat with the rhythm of change.
The Protest
It was the summer of ’68, a time of great upheaval and change. The air was thick with the scent of revolution, and I found myself in the midst of a protest, surrounded by passionate voices crying out for justice.
Among the sea of faces, one stood out. A young man, barely out of his teens, was standing on a makeshift podium, addressing the crowd. His voice was not the loudest, nor his words the most eloquent. But there was something about him that commanded attention.
The Gift
As I watched this young man, I realized what set him apart. It was not his age, his appearance, or even his words. It was his giftedness. He had a gift for connecting with people, for making them feel seen and heard. His gift was not in his voice, but in his heart.
Giftedness, I learned that day, is not about being the best or the brightest. It’s about using what you have to make a difference. It’s about recognizing your unique abilities and using them to create change.
The Lesson
So, what can we learn from this story? We can learn that giftedness is not a measure of intelligence or talent. It’s a measure of impact. It’s about how you use your gifts to touch the lives of others.
Each one of us is gifted in our own way. It’s up to us to discover our gifts and use them to make a difference. Whether it’s through words, actions, or simply our presence, we all have the power to create change.
So, dear friends, I encourage you to embrace your giftedness. Use it to make a difference. Use it to create change. Use it to make the world a better place.
Remember, giftedness is not about being the best. It’s about being the best you can be.
Until next time,
Kev
