Some things are unpredictable..
you never know what’s real..
your eyes are full of madness..
tears…
that somehow…disappear…
your heart…is smarter than you thought..
it finds its strength in…love..
you maybe crying all the night…
but…light…
shows you…the road.

This concept makes me a little bit uneasy. I agree completely, however I do believe that some people never do sincerely find their gift. I often wonder if I know my gift or if there is something more that I am capable of that I just haven’t given thought to. It seems like there are things that I am good at, things that I am not so good at and not very many things that I am great at. The things that I am great either don’t seem to be great or aren’t concrete. Neither has my gift been revealed to me nor have I found it, and that is unsettling. I don’t seem to be looking for it though, as I’m not sure how I would go about it. There seem to be all of these things holding me back from experiencing new things, things that may be in some way connected to my gift. If I continue to let these things hold me back, I wonder if I will become the Crystal Merchant. Maybe I am not being held back at all and I am just afraid or lazy. I guess I just don’t know how hard I should be looking for this gift. As I continue to get to know myself everyday I think everything will become clearer until a realization is finally met. I’m worried about what the future holds and what kind of gifts I will be able to offer the world, at the same time I am content with how things are, I trust that everything will work out in a favorable way. I sometimes wonder if I am too trusting. As long as I choose my own paths and stay true to my heart and my mind it seems that I will be happy. This is why I wonder if those people who never discover their gifts leave this world with a sense of satisfaction or with a sense of incompleteness. Does knowing your gift and embracing it determine the quality of your life? Could I live happily without ever recognizing it? In a way this quote is comforting, I am being told that even if I don’t find it, I have a gift. This is also comforting because even if this gift is never discovered, other people can recognize it within you and appreciate it without you even knowing. It seems however, that whenever I have complimented or pointed out these qualities in other people they do not take it seriously. People are either too modest or don’t have the confidence to accept and share themselves and their gifts with the people around them. I don’t want to say that I am not one of these people, I have no idea. The truth is I believe what this quote says and it makes me feel both secure and insecure at the same time. Those things that make me unsure, force me to question, and make me feel like a hypocrite, have seemed to be those things of the most significance in my life so far. I appreciate the larger spectrum of thought that this smaller quote invoked in me.

I think I’m one of those people that have to work to find it. I don’t like labels, but for lack of a better word I could describe myself as a perfectionist. I know a lot of people like to think of themselves as perfectionists as if this will bring them closer to “perfect” I struggle with this. I know I’m already “perfect”. I’m perfect in God’s image and in my own imperfections. God makes no mistakes therefore we are all perfect. Still I have the need to do everything right, and whatever I put my mind and effort to I do well, sometimes even better than well. I still haven’t found the one thing that will required no thought or effort, the one thing that is just part of my nature. My passion as some people may call it. I haven’t found my gift.

I remember living at home while I was in college, and one day in the middle of writing a paper, I stopped and went to my mother in the kitchen. “This is what I want to do. I want to write. This is what I am meant to be.”
She was so happy for me, that I knew, that I’d found it. I think that must be the best part of being a parent, being present to witness and share that magnificent moment in someone’s life.

I have been blessed with so much will power, and have used this over the years to reach goals that most can only dream of. I have had the good fortune to travel to the farthest corners of this wonderful blue planet and I have climbed some of it’s highest peaks. I have seen the most beautiful sunsets, which always remind me of our mortality. Despite all the dreams that I have turned into reality, I truly believe that my real gift still awaits me, and this time it will not come through my will power, but from my patience and gratefulness and belief in ever lasting love…….

I wonder who are the ‘more blessed’, those to which it is revealed, or those who struggle to reveal it…..?
