gifts

A happy birthday is measured not in the amount one of gifts, but in the amount one is loved.

Generosity has little to do with giving gifts, and everything to do with giving space to others to be who they are.

Every gift is held by two hands: the one that gives, and the one that takes away.

Presents are made for the pleasure of who gives them, not the merits of who receives them.

The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.

We who were born into privilege and opportunity were given these gifts with an expectation: to give them away.

Oda once said that when you speak excessively, it isn't necessarily communicating,_ Jimmi says as he hunches over, resting his elbows on his knees. He yawns and doesn't cover his mouth.__hat does that mean?___t means that you can shut your mouth and still say what you need to say using the other gifts the gods gave us.

A 'dreamer' is one possesses the gift of dreaming by day. Sure, many dream at night, but don__ also small babies and animals dream at night? To dream by day and dream aloud: Is this not the reward for all the troubles we humans must face?

Don't leave the instrument sitting in its case, my son. Play! Leave no part of your instrument unexplored. Why settle for 'Three Blind Mice' when you can play the 'Gloria'?

Use your unique gifts and talents to make a difference in the world.

Everybody has own gifts from God. You just need to seize the right time, right place and right person to be found.

If we're talented at music, that talent is of god. _If something makes our heart sing, that's god's way of telling us its a contribution he wants us to make. _Sharing our gifts is what makes us happy. We're_most powerful and god's power is most apparent on the earth when we're happy. A course in miracles teaches that we are only truly happy when we're doing god's will. _The only thing to be saved from is our own negativity and fear. _The crux of salvation in any area is a shift in our sense of purpose. _That shift is a miracle, as always we consciously ask for it: _'Dear god, please give my life some sense of purpose. use me as an instrument of your peace. _Use my talents and abilities to spread love. _I_surrender my job to you. Help me to remember that my real job is to love the world back to health.

Everyone has a talent, and gifts shouldn't be judged by their glory factor

When we stop pursuing God`s purpose, our gifts and talent are misdirected.

Our talents are the gift that God gives to us... What we make of our talents is our gift back to God

Leaders are readers, disciples want to be taught and everyone has gifts within that need to be coached to excellence.

It's the giving that makes one stronger, but sometimes the taking can make one weaker, if even vulnerable or blinding.

Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is the freedom to pursue their happiness.
