Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. — Leo Buscaglia
Every one of us has a special gift deep in our soul. Some of us have already found it. But some of us don’t yet see the gift that makes us special. Maybe it’s time to find it. When we were in our active addiction, all our best energy went into the wrong goal—getting high. Now that we are sober and have a life that is more sane, we have energy for good things. The time is right. We can put some of that extra energy into finding our talent.
Our program has taught us how to look at ourselves in Step Four, Step Eight, and Step Ten. We have learned to listen to feedback to improve ourselves in Step Five and Step Eleven. We can use these skills to find our talent.
It’s scary to be special. It means being different. But that is why the world needs all of us—we each bring something different. And now we have the energy, we have the skills, and we have people who care about us who will help guide us. Isn’t it exciting?
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, I have made a decision to turn over my life and my will to your care. Please show me how to use my talent.
Today’s Action
Today I will find one thing I’m good at. I will talk with my sponsor and a friend about how I can use this talent.
