“There isn’t enough
time to learn everything in life by trial and error. We must learn from the
life lessons of one another.”
God
formed every creature on this planet with a special area of expertise. Each has
a particular role to play based on the way they were shaped by God. We are a
combination of many different factors; our spiritual gifts, abilities, our
heart, personality and experience.
- Spiritual gifts - Each of us has been blessed with spiritual gifts. We need to discover that gift (if we haven’t discovered it yet) and develop because an unopened gift is worthless.
- Listening to our Heart – Your heart reveals the real you, your heart determines why you say the things you do, why you feel the way you do and why you act the way you do. You should listen to your heart because you will never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life and about the world. A good heart is at the root of nursing. It wasn’t simply for the money (well, at first t’was everyone’s reason why they took up nursing) but we have learned to love and embrace our profession. Long hours of duty, sacrifice and the pain and suffering of others come with the job. WE, Nurses have that strong desire to help people, to comfort, to heal the sick and provide essential aid. In return, we just want to see you smile and a simple “thanks” is more than enough.
- Applying your abilities – We have dozens of hidden abilities that we don’t know we’ve got because we’ve never tried them out. You will never know what you’re good at until you try. We are not that old to stop experimenting, to try new things and explore life. Deep water fear? Try scuba diving! Afraid of heights? Try the highest zip line! Oh! It’s not suicide, its facing your fears and having fun.
- Personalities – Your uniqueness is a scientific act of life. There never has been and never will be anybody exactly like you. We are what we are for a reason. Sometimes there are conflicts, misunderstanding and problems that arise because we have different personalities. Just imagine if we are all alike, I guess Earth would be so boring.
- Life Experiences – People are always more encouraged when we share how Gods grace helped us in weakness. Everybody has times when they feel like Gods just not there. But He is always there, always bringing you closer to Him.
You will be most effective when you use your spiritual gifts and abilities
in the area of your heart’s desire and in a way that best expresses your
personality and experience. Let us all be a blessing to all the people we meet.
We never know how our stories can affect their lives. We are wonderfully
complex. We are uniquely different from each other. And we all have things that
were good at and not-so-good at but together we fill each other’s gaps. We have
different stories to tell, different experiences day by day, chasing different
dreams and crossing different paths. I want to hear your stories too! What
makes you mad and makes you sad, what makes you smile or makes you cry. What
are lessons you have learned in life? I want to learn from it too. I want to be
a part of your story, as you have been a part of mine. I keep a track of my
happiest moments, the bad days, the sweet nothing messages, the memorabilia’s
of the past, and life’s lessons. I write everything I feel and think in my
journal and in my blog, as a reminder of how God have shaped my life and
blessed me and hoping that somewhere, somehow I can inspire others with my own
experience. Sharing your experiences can help others. As Aldous Huxley said, “Experience
is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. “
