Do you Value your Gifts...?

Do you value your gifts...?
Each of us has our own gifts and talents but how many times do we, you and I, waste them because of looking at what others have!
Are you looking at another and wishing what they did you could do...?
Are you hankering after a gift or talent that another has, so much so, that you do not see your own...?
You are an individual and there is no-one else like you!
You have your own special gifts and talents that are unique to you!
You are special no matter what you or anyone else might think!
So what if someone can:-
sing, paint, write, play music, can act, or...!
So what if someone can do what you would love to do... wish to do... but cannot!
Look inwards to yourself and spend some time recognizing and then acknowledging what you can do:-
is it listening, being kind, helping others, gardening, cooking or...?
Do not wish for something that is not you as, all that is worth cherishing you will find in your own heart and not in what others are!
Wishing can be soul destroying and you are worth far more than that:-
W = Wasting
Do not waste your time wishing as you will be wasting your now in vain...
hopes, regrets and wanting what is not yours!
Instead look for and find your own gifts and talents as they are there just beneath your surface!
I = Inhibiting
Do not inhibit your life in wishing to be like another as they are who they are and you are who you are.
You are meant to be who you are - the unique you - so...
rejoice in being the 'one and only' you!
S = Stopping
Do not stop yourself from being happy, fulfilled and simply amazing by wishing you had another's gifts and talents!
Do you realize that there will be others out there just like you, wishing that they had your gifts and talents, so...
use your time not wishing, but working on what you can do with gratitude!
H = Half-a-life
Yes, in wishing you are only living half-a-life!
The time that you are spending in wishing could be spent in doing! Doing what it is that is uniquely you and if you do not know what it is spend that 'wishing' time finding out!
I = Ignoring
By wishing you are ignoring yourself, your brilliant and wonderful self!
Why would you want to be as another when you are special just the way you are! There is only one of you in the whole world, the whole universe and hey that is amazing!
Do not ignore you, be proud of you!
N = Negating
Yes just as you are ignoring who you are when wishing to be as another you are also negating your gift and talents and what you can give to the world, those around you and those whom you love!
So stop negating yourself now!
Instead give what and who you are and not a copy of someone else!
G = Going nowhere
When you look around at others, want what they have, or wish to be who they are you are going nowhere! Oh yes you go about your daily life, go through the motions of living but... are you really living your life to the full?
-----------------------------
Time is precious so spend every minute growing, learning and gaining wisdom!  
If time is spent wishing then time is wasted then time is spent going nowhere, so do not halt your life as, nowhere means standing still and...
what a waste! 
------------------------------
Be who you are and love being you!
Be proud of yourself and not wish to be another!
And, use what talents that are innately yours as...
 how silent the world would be if only those birds with the sweetest voices sang!
