We all have varying talents and abilities. These are the gifts given us at birth.
We have these passions so we can contribute to the collective experience of the expansion of the universe.
When we ignore our natural drive and compromise our authentic self out of fear of not being successful using our God given strengths, we are not able to shake the pain of living an inauthentic life.
Even if our talents never yield us wild success, when we give our genuine self to others we make a real difference. The joy we draw from that is much better than anything else we could gain from conformity.
Be true to you.
