There isn’t a single person on this gorgeous planet that doesn’t possess a special gift. That includes you, even if you aren’t aware of it at this exact moment. But no need to fear…you will discover what your special gift is right here! By the time you finish this article you will be clear about what you uniquely have to share with the world.
DEFINITION OF GIFT
First, you must understand, in reference to this article, what the term “gift” actually means. A gift is a natural organic quality or attribute one has that is very specifically unique to him or her. Often, people have more than one special gift which, in combination, acts together enhancing the benefit of the receiver. As well, an extension of those gifts can include utilizing every opportunity to give openly and lovingly; in other words, never holding the gifts back. Your special gift, therefore, compels you to use it at every turn because it is not only part of you it is how you are; how you express yourself to the world community. For example, Mahatma Ghandi was a man who stood for justice. His gift(s) included diplomacy, uniting people, fighting injustice, strong leadership and remaining steadfast in spirit through peace. We all know his great contribution to his country of India and, because of his gifts, his contribution to the world. He decided to be an attorney but he was driven, by his gifts, to be a world leader and change the course of his country’s history. He shared his gifts because he had to. He could not contain them in a box or tuck them away in a dark corner of a closet. He was compelled to share by doing what he had been given, as his organic talents, with those in need; and in his case it was his countrymen who needed him most.
CONSIDERING YOUR SPECIAL GIFT
Until now, have you considered what your special gift to the world is? Have you examined what has been given to you that you might share with others? Is there a drive inside you pushing, screaming, pulling you to be expressed in some way? These are just a few of the questions you can begin to answer in the process of considering your gift. Perhaps you hadn’t thought about the fact that, what you enjoy most could also be the gift you were given to give back. Or, maybe you have thought about it but came to the determination that you don’t possess any gifts at all.
At the beginning of this section there were questions for you to ask 
yourself. Now be honest, how did you answer them? If you haven’t, now would be a good time to start. Up till now you have not recognized your special gift or gifts because you take them for granted, or perhaps you were invalidated for having them. I knew a woman who was a fantastic “clairvoyant medium” but she grew up believing it was something to be ashamed of and that it made her an odd kind of freak. Maybe no one ever pointed out to you what you have or are exceptional at, or it could be you just never considered the possibility because everyone else seemed special while you were just different and what you could do or how you are just doesn’t matter. There are, I’m sure, additional myriad of other reasons too, such as: not smart enough; don’t have any type of creative talent; not a good athlete; never fit in with others; not great at anything; afraid of everything; not cheery enough; feel too alone, and on and on and on. But what if I told you, all of your reasons for believing you don’t have any type of gift is merely poppy-cock! O.K. it’s a nicer way of saying what I really want to say but nevertheless, you are delusional if you believe for one moment that you do not possess a special gift.
Well, are you ready to move out of this place of being a misfit, a nobody with no special gift at all because you’re not special? Are you ready to give up your belief system about yourself to start recognizing your passion, your purpose, your contribution to share with the world?
Alright! Let’s get started!
WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL GIFT TO THE WORLD
To discover what your special gift is there are a few things you can do.
Answer these questions sincerely when writing them down: [write them in 1 word, list form]
• “What do you love doing?”
• “What are you good or excellent at doing?”
• “What have others complimented you on or noticed most about you?”
• “What are you engaged in when you are your happiest?”
• “What lies inside of you driving, pushing, or screaming to be expressed in some way?”
• “What gift(s) do you desire to have?”
• “What do you give most to others?”
Examine what you’ve written, then number those answers from the most significant one resonating with you to the least.
The next set of exercises should be done as:
• Day 1 covers everything for the number one most significant answer.
• Day 2 covers the second most significant answer and so on…
Starting in numerical ordered answers: on a separate sheet of paper
• Write the question down
• Then write all of the negative thoughts, feelings, sensations that become present as you focus on it.
• Repeat the exercise again with the second answer (on day 2) and so on until you have done this for a total of seven days with seven answers.
Focusing back on the first answer along with the negativity around it, do the meditation exercise [from the link below] to clear the negative energy around your answer.

When you say the affirmation imagine:
• Your heart is expanding, opening to the vibration of your special gift.
• See the complete affirmation entering your heart
• See a bright pearlescent, luminescent golden light shining from the center of your heart.
• Allow the rays of the heart light center to radiate through-out every cell of your body.
• It doesn’t have to take more than 10 – 20 seconds for the affirmation to permeate your entire body.
• You are now resonating at the vibration of your special gift, ready to be shared with the world!
If you feel you should repeat the exercises for one or all of your answers, continue to do so until you have mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually owned them all.
WHAT MAKES YOUR GIFTS SPECIAL
It’s true you may have gifts that are similar to others. But what makes your gifts so special to you is the fact you are very unique. The blend of special gifts blessed to you is a combination no one else has in the same exact way. Like making a cake; some have flavoring, some have fruit, some have cream, some have nuts, some are two layers, some are three or one layer, some have icing and some have none. Nevertheless, every cake has some form of grain, some type of sweetener and some form of liquid to make it moist. You see, they are all tasty cakes but each one has it’s own unique special combination of ingredients that another cake does not have. And even with the recipe for a specific cake, they do not all come out exactly the same, tasting the same way every time or from different bakers. Like the cakes, no one can duplicate your combination of special gifts, put together specifically for you to use for your purpose of sharing with the world.
So whatever you may have been blessed with: a great smile; agile body; leadership; staying positive; being organized; loyalty; commitment; sweet-natured; emotional and personal strength; self-control; diplomacy; an eye for colors and shapes; a vivid imagination; curiosity of exploration; and…so on, it is your special gift to share with others.
