That Is Your Business

That Is Your Business. Destiny is like a pair of glasses because everybody has their own prescription, whether they are nearsighted, farsighted, or have a lazy eye. If you try to wear somebody else's glasses, or to force your glasses on them, do not be surprised if it does not help much. This is because your prescription belongs to you and you alone.

So it is with our visions for life, each vision is completely unique, meaning we each have a unique journey to embark on, and it is up to us alone to take it. As Tab says, that is actually your business. One part of your business has to do with your gifts, as each of us has a unique set of gifts. Some of us can paint beautiful paintings that bring people to tears, while others are born athletes with very obvious talents.

But many of us have gifts we hardly recognize. Tab spent years trying to realize her dreams as an actress by taking part in community theater, working in independent films, and even hustling a small late-night show. Struggling in her career, she tried to fit into the image that Hollywood wanted by changing how she dressed and talked. And she even took diet pills to try to force her body into the right shape.

It was indeed very exhausting, and what is more, it did not work. In the end, what propelled her to fame were two gifts that she had not even considered. The first gift was that Tab was always funny. As a child, she would crack her family up with her observations and comic timing, relishing big gatherings and social occasions where she could play the part of the family joker.

The second gift was her love of cooking. Throughout her life, while she was trying to become a famous actress, she was also going about the quiet, mundane business of daily living. Cooking was always there and effortless, just a normal part of everyday life that was as natural as breathing. And yet, it was these two unassuming gifts, her sense of humor and her love of cooking, that would transform her life.

Only in retrospect could she see how valuable these gifts were. Today, far from seeing them as mere quirks of personality, Tab sees these gifts as actual, genuine gifts from God. God gives all of us these gifts for a reason, and we owe it to him and ourselves not to take them for granted, but instead to put them to the best use we can. So ask yourself, what are your gifts, and what exactly comes naturally to you?

Do you have abilities that you are not taking advantage of? And remember, if somebody does not see your gift, do not get mad about it, because your prescription, your vision, is yours. It is not their job to believe in you, it is indeed entirely your job. Once again, that is your business.
