Use Your Gifts

I have to say, I was a gifted singer and actor as a little kid. I am Italian, Sicilian based, we have big voices. I was able to sing, and I put that to great use during the times that I was being tormented. I would perform, and that applause kept me going. And so I was interpreting that as, it must mean that that is what I was supposed to pursue, rather than realizing that it was just a resilience I had and that it was meant to lead me in a higher direction. So it was not until all of this began to transpire, and I was being told, or I was feeling from within, you really can help some people with what you have been through and what you know now. And I was like, well, wait a minute now. I wonder if that is the reason why I had all those earlier gifts, because I can still use those to help people today and to really reach them and touch their souls. So that was a moment of a real aha for me. I'm an entertainer. I use that in helping people believe in themselves. You know, it was said in a very famous movie, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. Well, the type of medicine we need today needs a gallon of honey. So I do as much as I can to make people laugh, to make them enjoy, and then serve them the deep stuff.
