Everyone Has a Gift - Here’s How to Find Yours

WATCH THE VIDEO

Have you ever looked around and thought, “Everyone else seems to have a talent - but what about me?” You’re not alone. Even some of the most well-known and successful people have wrestled with that same question. Albert Einstein famously said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” Our gifts often don’t fit into the boxes the world expects. Whoopi Goldberg grew up being told she was “slow” and even dropped out of school - yet when she discovered acting, her natural storytelling ability shone. Steve Harvey spent years struggling with homelessness and failure, but he clung to his gift of making people laugh, and that gift eventually changed his life - and the lives of millions.

The truth is, we all have unique gifts. They may be quiet or hidden, but they are there. Your gift might not be flashy, and it might not come with applause. It could be the way you listen deeply, the way you encourage others, the way you solve problems, or the way you bring warmth and peace wherever you go.

Why We Struggle to Believe It

So why do so many people feel like they don’t have a gift? Because we’ve been conditioned to compare. Social media highlights only the polished moments. Schools and workplaces often value only a narrow set of skills. Even family and friends sometimes project their own insecurities onto us. And when we measure ourselves against the wrong yardstick, we start believing the lie that we’re “ordinary.” But here’s the secret: your gift isn’t something you need to invent - it’s already inside you. It’s usually the thing that feels natural to you, but powerful to others.

Living Into Your Gift

When you begin to accept and nurture your gift, life changes. You stop comparing yourself to others, and you stop dismissing what makes you unique. Instead, you start leaning into the things that bring you alive.

Ask yourself:

• What makes me feel most alive?

• What do people thank me for?

• What feels ordinary to me, but extraordinary to others?

The answers to these questions often point directly to your gift. And once you discover it - nurture it. Don’t diminish it. Don’t compare it. Own it. The world doesn’t need more copies. It needs the real you.
