‘Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.’
When I read this quote I thought in terms of athletics and recalled a question I’ve heard asked many times of coaches. What would you rather have, a player with unlimited physical ability that has zero work ethic, no discipline and is not a very good teammate … or a player that is less physically talented but works hard, never complains and is supportive of his team and coaches? Invariably, the answer is of course always the latter.
Beyond sports, and in every aspect of life this same scenario holds true. I believe that every single person is gifted, however some never bother to open their present. As I often do, let me tie another quote in with this one. Zig Ziglar put talent in perspective and goes right to the heart of a misconception that many people have. He said: ‘Success is not measured by what you do compared to what others do, it’s measured by what you do with the amount of ability that God gave you.’
Just imagine if everybody followed that path!
God’s blessings to you on this day! Have a great Friday and a blessed day!
