The last couple of posts (Re-Gifting, Unwrap your gifts ) have focused on bringing your natural gifts into the forefront of your life. In doing so, we share ourselves in a more authentic way. We show up in every interaction and situation consciously bearing our gifts. People recognized what we have to offer and crawl out of the woodwork to receive what we have to offer. Maybe they always have, but now we are keenly aware of it.
There is something different about it this time around. Even though we are uncomfortable sitting in the spot light, we like the new-found attention. It’s an odd, strange feeling to moderately enjoy attention. We feel good about ourselves and passively seek more. Our old habits and voice tell us to escape back to the safety and comfort of a quiet place. We know this no longer fits our description of who we are. We no longer want to keep our gifts from the world. We want to share them and experience all the great feelings this attention bring to us. We crave more.
What do we do with all this new-found glory?
The answer is simple….we take our gifts and we apply them to the things we CARE about most.
A much harder question is what do you CARE about?
CAREs are our highest-level needs, our inner burning desires, or our own personal conditions for satisfaction. They are ideals that we live by (i.e. I am a loving husband), things we are passionate about (i.e. I am helping others find their passion for life), or lofty goals (I am saving money for my kid’s college tuition). Living by our CAREs is intrinsically part of our lives.
The more we embody our CAREs; the more purposefully we act and the more meaning we have to our life. We take ownership and responsibility for our actions and in-actions. We begin to reduce our emotional attached to things that are not aligned with our CAREs. We invite playful energy and lightness into our daily lives. Our daily intentions, actions and commitments are clear and resolute. We are aligned with who our soul desires us to be.
What you CARE about?
