"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
~ John Wooden
Let's take this to heart - if you agree, that is.
Mostly, I say let's focus on the first part. Talent is gifted to us. It's not something we can claim credit for. Let's be grateful and humble about our natural, God-given abilities.
We
can claim some credit for what we do with our talent. But let's be gratitude for that development too - grateful for our choices and grateful for The Giver of All Gifts. After all, the strength, faith, love, joy, and vision - all the qualities used to develop our potential - they are heavenly gifts too.
Gratitude is always a wise take-away.
Yes?
