When I build something to function in a particular way, I will place in it the capacity to do so. I will "tool" it accordingly. The same thing is true with humans.
We have natural gifts and talents as our "tooling" so we can be naturally predisposed to function in a certain way. Sadly, we ignore these natural tools that are within us and we run helter skelter trying to eke out a living.
Let us find out one of the ways we can use to nurture raw gifts and talents.
If someone asked you about investments, even if you are not a genius or guru in that department, you will readily have some things in mind that you might want to invest.
For the most part, people think about finances, which is a great thing. However, I am afraid that we are ignoring perhaps one of the most potent investments we can make in life. All of us have that opportunity.
The problem is that we are so steeped into the status quo that elevates whatever else it does, apart from our purpose, gifts, passion and talents.
Fortunately, we are being found out, and we have no option but to take heed. Listen to this.
There are two major schools of thought in life. First, there is that which focuses intensely on results...in the now, immediately. Now matters more than tomorrow, for tomorrow we do not know what will happen.
There is another school of thought that looks at today as a seed. It honours processes, systems, time, and patience. Few subscribe to this. Unfortunately, when it comes to nurturing gifts and talents, this is the most plausible school of thought to use.
Our gifts and talents, and those of our children do have a great place in society. The problem is that we are in the "ignore" mode because someone somewhere told us that they do not make sense in life. Not anymore. Listen to this.
Could it be that all the answers we are looking for, especially in terms of economic gain are right within us and around us but we are totally oblivious of that fact?
Any creator of anything will place inside of it tools, attributes, and capabilities that will enable it to function in the intended way. That includes the human being.
There has to be a firm place for gifts and talents. The more we ignore them, the more we are shooting ourselves on the foot. Listen to this.
As much as we are trying all we can to change the education systems of the world, there will always be something glaringly missing and off if we will not have parents become the Life Coaches of their children.
The world has changed so much that the education system as promised and as crafted has not kept up with it. For starters, not everyone will excel from the academic world. Let's just agree with that. Does that mean that such people are useless in the world? No.
Big-time companies, at least in the US are no longer needing people to have university degrees to be employed. Things have changed. This episode is a close of a 14-strong episode series on the subject matter. The verdict is that you as a parent must become the Life Coach for your children. Listen to this.
