We all have our talents. What’s yours? When was that last time you used it to do something good? It doesn’t matter how great your talent is… what matters is that you use it! And remember this – every talent becomes even greater when you use it to do good.
Want to magnify your talent? Think of a simple way that you could use it to make a difference, and then act on it! I know that for many people the “action” part is the most difficult, but don’t be afraid to take that action, because, as the saying goes, action cures fear.
There’s even a mathematical formula for those who prefer more tangible things, and I know this to be true from experience: Ideas + Action = Success! Here’s a great example of a simple idea with some action behind it. I’d love to hear your version!
