“There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become." ~Orison Swett Marden

All of us reading this has heard that it makes a difference in our lives when we recognize our inner strengths. 

The more we use our gifts, the greater the gain in our lives. We "get this" but how much? If we fully
"got it," there would be harmony among us. Practicing respect and kindness would be common.

I'm trying to "get it." Really "get it." So I love every quote, book, film, song, story, and experience of my own that shows me these gifts. 

Strength. Beauty. Courage. Compassion. Hope. Joy. Talent. Imagination. Reverence. Wisdom. Love, Faith. 

Consider picking one to be a constant companion in your thoughts and actions today. See if one attracts your attention. Throughout the day, look for ways and places where you can apply it. Reflect on that gift tonight. Then sleep and dream well.

With faith, love, hope, and joy,
Charlene
