By doing.

“The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.”  

     -Vince Lombardi

Each one of us is blessed with our own, unique set of gifts, talents and abilities. Granted to none other. No one is alike. As such, all of us are a masterpiece in our own way. 

And yet despite this, we choose to spend a great deal of our time hiding them away, electing to focus our energies in other ventures. Like aiming to be the influencer of the moment.

Chasing an apparition of some other figure, rather than just working on becoming the absolute best version of ourselves. 

Granting consideration and giving attention to only some of our talents.

Reducing and leveling ourselves in certain respects to that of another – in lieu of being who we really are.

And what we are meant to become.

Keeping hidden away what is already in our possession. Never giving a second thought to the wonderful array of talents in our possession and at our immediate disposal. 

Focus your energies on becoming the absolute best version of you.

For in the final analysis, the true measure of yourself is always conducted from the inside out first- not the other way around. 

That is precisely how you determine the measure of yourself. 

By doing.
