81 Owning Your Gifts – Embracing Your True Nature

Have you ever felt a quiet knowing inside—an inner whisper that says, You have something unique to offer? Maybe it’s your ability to see beyond the surface, to heal, create, or guide others in a way that feels almost effortless. But instead of fully embracing it, you keep it tucked away, waiting for the right moment, confidence, or someone else’s permission to 

No more of that! 

Your gifts were never meant to be hidden. They are a sacred part of who you are, woven into the fabric of your soul. And yet, so many of us hesitate to own them fully. We downplay them, question them, or fear that stepping into our power might make others uncomfortable.

But here’s the truth: your gifts are not random. They were given to you for a reason. And when you own them—fully, boldly, unapologetically—you step into the life you were always meant to live.

Step One: Discovering Your Natural Gifts

Your gifts are already there, waiting to be recognized. They aren’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes, they’re as natural as breathing—so much a part of you that you don’t even realize they’re extraordinary.

Take out your pen and paper. Seriously, or dictate to your phone. 

Think back to your childhood. What came quickly to you? What lit you up? What do people turn to you for, even now? These are the breadcrumbs leading you back to your true nature. Your gifts are not something you need to chase. They are already in you. Your only job is to acknowledge and nurture them.

Step Two: Letting Go of Others’ Opinions and the Need for Praise

This is a big one. One of the greatest barriers to owning our gifts is the fear of what others will think.

We hesitate because we don’t want to be judged, misunderstood, or dismissed. We wait for validation, hoping that someone will affirm that we’re “good enough” before we step forward. But here’s the secret—seeking approval is a trap. It makes you wait, and wait, and wait some more. 

The truth is, not everyone will understand your gifts. Some people might question you. Others might project their fears or limitations onto your path. But their opinions are not your compass. You are here to serve in the way only you can, and that calling doesn’t require anyone else’s permission.

Your gifts are sacred and needed They don’t need validation. They only need your willingness to use them.

Step Three: Trusting the Right Timing

We live in a world that tells us we must be “ready” before we begin. But readiness is an illusion. The timing of your soul’s work is not something you force but surrender to.

If you’ve been holding back, waiting for the perfect moment to share your gifts, this is your sign. The moment is now. Your path will unfold as you walk it, and every step will bring more clarity, confidence, and alignment. Trust the timing of your journey. Trust yourself.

Your Invitation: Step Into Your Power

This isn’t just about personal growth. It’s about answering a call that has been with you since the beginning. Your gifts are meant to move through you and out into the world.

So, what gift(s) have you been keeping close to your chest? What’s the part of you waiting to be fully seen and expressed?

No more hiding. No more waiting.

It’s time to own what has always been yours.
