Original by Design…Embrace The Gifts God Gave You!

God gave you something special, your “OWN” unique gifts and talents. These aren’t random or average. They were carefully chosen by God to be used to bless others, make a difference, and help you live out your purpose. Whether your gift is encouraging others, solving problems, organizing chaos, or creating beauty, your talents matter. You don’t have to be on a big stage to have a big impact. When you use what God gave you, right where you are, you become a light in someone’s life. That’s powerful.

One trap that keeps people stuck is thinking their gifts aren’t good enough. It’s a common limiting belief that says, “If my talent doesn’t look like theirs, it must not matter.” But wanting someone else’s gift is like telling God He made a mistake when He made you. I’ve been there myself, struggling with comparison, thinking I had to sound more like other coaches or speak a certain way to be accepted. But I learned that my strength was in being me. Your value isn’t in being a copy, it’s in being you. God didn’t ask you to be a duplicate. He created you to be an original.

If you’ve been doubting your gifts and talents, take this first step today: Write down three things that come easily to you, even if they seem small. Ask God to show you how to use them to serve others. 1 Corinthians 12:4 reminds us, “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.” This means your gift may look different, but it comes from the same loving God who created all of us for a purpose. You don’t have to do it all. You just have to do your part.

And the good news? God doesn’t just hand out talents and leave you on your own—He places the right people in your path to guide, support, and grow with you. Whether it’s a mentor, a coach, a friend, or a prayer partner, God sends people to help water the seed He planted in you. You were never meant to walk this journey alone. And when you’re open to that support, your gifts and talents begin to bloom in ways you never imagined.

If you’re tired of feeling like life is just happening to you and you’re ready to feel sure of yourself and intentionally co-create your life with God, it’s time to take action.

Thinking Higher: Shifting Your Mind to What Matters

Have you ever caught yourself stuck in a loop of thinking about everything you don’t have? It’s easy to focus on what’s missing—more money, better relationships, a different life. But when your mind stays in lack, your life follows. God calls us to think higher, to set our minds on His truth instead of our doubts. Philippians 4:8 reminds us, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” When you shift your focus to what God says instead of what you think you’re missing, you open the door to peace, confidence, and a life lived on purpose.

One of the biggest limiting beliefs that holds people back is the idea that “I’ll never have enough.” I know this struggle well. For years, I believed if I just had a little more—more success, more approval, more of whatever—I’d finally feel secure. But that kind of thinking kept me chasing instead of thriving. Higher thinking isn’t about ignoring reality; it’s about deciding to focus on what God is doing instead of what seems to be missing. When you believe that God provides, you stop striving and start walking in peace.

If you’re ready to break free from lack thinking and start thriving, it’s time to shift your mindset. A great way to do this is by writing down three things you’re grateful for each day—yes, even the small stuff. Gratitude rewires your brain to see what’s possible instead of what’s missing. And if you need support in making this shift, I’m here to help! Schedule a consultation call today to learn more about my Confidence Mindset Program, where you’ll gain the tools to think higher, thrive in life, and feel peace in every situation. It’s time to rise! 💫✨
