Find your hidden treasures

Look again, they are there

As a child I was always cautious and afraid to step fearlessly into situations like the others.

I would hold back, checking the space to ensure my surroundings.

I had to walk slowly, check things out, stand for awhile and then gradually feel my way, energetically, into the space.

This made me feel awkward and shy.

I thought this was a sign of constant fear and anxiety.

Little did I know that I had gifts.

The gift of “seeing” and feeling the energy of people.

When I saw their light or felt their darkness, I didn’t know that not everyone could see and feel those things.

I still move with caution and I am more sensitive to loud noises and crowds.

I have just learned to live amongst the occasional sharpness of this world. Yet, these gifts now serve me well.

Perceived weaknesses can sometimes turn out to be a tremendous strength.

Have you found the treasure hidden behind what once tripped you up?

Look again, I bet it’s there.
