One of the first things we should do is get before our creator and ask him what he created us to do. Then, be quite & listen for his answer. This video was very helpful to get these things on paper that we can think about our aptitude’s skills & interest. And become better acquainted with our particular design & then purpose.

On surface we look very different but when you started describing natural gifts, I knew why I was suppose to watch this video. thank you for this video it has helped me this morning on my journey to greatness.

+Darnesha Grays So good to hear Darnesha! It's too cool to hear this kind of feedback. Like you, I just woke up one morning and was doing some morning studying and meditating. That's when I felt inspired to start writing some things down. Before I knew it this exercise popped out on paper and I did it for myself. It seemed so simple to do, yet so clarifying. It sounds like you are aligned with the same inspiration. I encourage you to keep it up..and then contribute what insights you've gained with others. Pay it forward! Thanks again for the feedback! I'm inspired to make more videos ;)

Dont listene to people saying you are valuable when you yourself know that statement is empty when it concerns you. If you dont know what to do, do something.you will find your purpose along the way. Focus all your time amd energy into one thing and you will bloom. Thats it Example: If you dont know hlw to play the piano and i give you one, nothing will come out of it. But if you dedicate yourself to it. Keyhole all your potential and time into the piano You will explode at the other side of the door and the amount of thing you can do with and learn from the piano will be unlimited.

[@EricCoplen]

Hi K Hum. Thank you for sharing your experience. In my experience, most people feel like you do at times, me included. I'm sure you have abilities and social talents that you are giving yourself credit for. I recently heard someone say that when you have nothing to look forward to, you feel depressed. If you don't feel you have "talents" or "abilities", then you might consider joining some local meetup groups or facebook communities where you could learn new things and meet new people. Often, something as simple as having an event to look forward to and a community to be part of will help pull you out of a rut. Give yourself credit. You didn't make it to your 50's without abilities and talents...it's impossible. Try my exercises and be nice to yourself. See what you discover!

[@pergunnarvikmjlhus3597]

That's real talk right there, Corbin! You are blessed and equipped with everything you need already, it's already inside of you. Like for example, I love to make music. And I have watched tutorials until I got blue in the face about how to make music. But in the end, I end up making music my own way. And I don't need to learn how to compose melodies, when my brain already naturally knows how to do it. You can't tell a tiger that he must learn how to not be wild. You either got the nature for it, or you don't.

I'm so glad that after your epiphany you decided to film and share what you came up with. Blending the 3 lists is a brilliant way to bring your passions and gifts to life, most people don't break it down like this. It's logical, rational, AND spiritual- the formula to bring it reality. I'm also a big picture thinker so it was cool to see you mirror back to me what I see in myself.

[@EricCoplen]

+Ely Hoshea “The best way not to be bored is to do what you like doing, typically something you’re good at.” - I think you may enjoy this article www.psychologytoday.com/blog/open-gently/201212/why-people-get-bored. I understand where you are coming from Ely. I would spend some time with this exercise and even revisit often to dial in on what lights you up. Creating a morning routine for yourself that includes self-reflection and ingesting inspirational or motivational info will also be of massive benefit. Some great books are "Think & Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and "How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Just feed your mind every morning (even if you only have 4 minutes to spare!) and you will experience a shift much sooner than you might expect. Thanks for your question and I hope this helps!

It’s adorable that you understand how people think, yet you believe Think and Grow Rich is a great book. Sigh. Not to rain on your admittedly infectious enthusiasm. It’s very appealing.

[@EricCoplen]

I'm aware there is controversy over Napoleon Hill's character. However, the information in his book is also mirrored in other great books such as Psycho Cybernetics and there is a world of research validating the power for our minds to influence our results in life. I draw my inspiration from many different sources. At the time of my life I made this video, Think and Grow Rich was one of the first to introduce me to these concepts. Don't mistake the man for the concepts. They are two different things and not original to Napoleon Hill.

[@sfkeepay]

@@EricCoplen, I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. It isn’t the author. It’s the content. However, if you’ll provide a few references to the research you mentioned, I am open to correction. I’m skeptical, but I’d actually prefer to be wrong on this, since it would be very empowering.

[@EricCoplen]

@@sfkeepay Sure. I recommend you start with the book I mentioned called Psycho-Cybernetics. It's available as audiobook for free here on KZbin. Just search for it.. It will offer you a more grounded and scientific approach to how "attracting" success works. Sometimes the woo woo crowds make all this sound like magic fairy dust but that is more of a description of how it feels to them when they suddenly start perceiving a world of opportunity where you couldn't see it before.
