Letting Our Talents Shine

 Watching Boise State football is one of my favorite things to do.  Maybe I'm biased but I truly think they are much more then just any regular football team! Their success isn't because they're the fastest, biggest, or most athletic. When they played TCU this last Jan. people thought they would loose, even some of their biggest fans had some doubt. They won and it wasn't luck.
  How does a team win when the odds are against them? Talent?  A lot of people think talent is natural, that it comes easily. Some talent is that way, but most is developed. It's about hard work, determination, practice, sacrifice, and focus. We become what we do. If we want to be a master or a champion at something we have to put forth the work and have that mindset. To let our talent shine we must let go of what is holding us back: Fear, Rejection, Failure? We don't have to be the best at our talent, we just have to DO our best.
  What if we haven't discovered our talent?  I suggest writing an I AM statement. It's a good start to seeing who we are and what we want to become.
Example; I am a loving mother who is fun, I am a beautiful, energetic, confident women....
 Discover your talents and passions and incorporate them into getting your dreams.
