Rather than focus on deficiencies and weaknesses, we focus on the gifts and assets we bring and capitalize on those to make the best and highest contribution. Confront people with their core gifts that can make the difference and change lives.
The leadership and citizen task is to bring the gifts of those on the margin into the center.
The distinction is between gifts and deficiencies or needs.
We are not defined by deficiencies or what is missing. We are defined by our gifts and what is present.
We choose our destiny when we have the courage to acknowledge our own gifts and choose to bring them into the world. It is the conversion of fate into destiny.
A gift is not a gift until it is offered.
