Native American Wisdom:
Our Special Gifts
"In our story of Creation, we talk about each one of
us having our own path to travel, and our own gift
to give and to share. You see, what we say is that
the Creator gave us all special gifts; each one of us
is special. And each one of us is a special gift to
each other because we've got something to share."
-- John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG
We are all equally special. We need to focus on what
is right for ourselves. As we focus on what is right for
ourselves, we will start to see our special gifts. Then
we can see how to share our special gifts with others.
If we focus on what's wrong with ourselves, we will not
be able to see our gifts. Then we will think we have nothing
to give others and we become selfish and withdrawn.
The more we focus on our good, the more we see the good
in others. The more we see the good in others, the more we
see the gifts they have to share. What you sees is what you gets!

My Creator, today, let me use the gifts You have
given me. Let me use them wisely.
