Ordinary gifts day 5, work

Empty grocery store shelves
Empty grocery store shelves at Winn Dixie on the way home from Apple Store. Just needed butter.

How do you define gift? How do you define ordinary? 

An ordinary gift?

They’re everywhere. 

Take fully stocked grocery store shelves.

Take grocery store pharmacies.

Take safe, paved roads to reach these places.

control
You are the CEO of You, Inc. Everything is your opportunity. Everything is your fault. Learn and figure it out.

What are ordinary gifts?

Ordinary gifts are as common as laughter, smiling, and honesty. 

Even as simple as knowing why you where born on this third rock from the sun.

Simpler still, even caring, and struggling, to go on a lifelong journey to find out why.

gifted?
My ‘career’ gift? Discovering i have an insatiable desire to learn, and, to teach. And in the teaching, learning a second time.

Ordinary gifts?

Yes.

What are ordinary gifts from your experience and perspective?

They arrive every single day.

Opportunities to learn.

Opportunities to teach.

Opportunities to help.

Opportunities to ask questions.

Opportunities to .think .differently

Opportunities to lean into discomfort.

Opportunities to have fun doing all of the above.

Small, seemingly insignificant opportunities that know no limit.
