Gift vs Passion

Steve Harvey described the word “Gift” as something you do your best with the least amount of effort.
We grow up having these lofty dreams about shaking the world and being the next big thing like Einstein, Elon Musk, or in my case the next Oprah Winfrey, we often forget that they horned their gifts, upscaled it and in return, it brought them wealth and fame.
*Why don't we want to be us though*

What's passion?
Urban dictionary described passion as when you put more energy into something than is required to do it. It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is an ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body, and soul into something as is possible.

Do you see the difference? when it's your gift it requires little effort on the other hand passion requires more effort.
Stop on your tracks Hercules and ask yourself what your gift is, don't tell me you don't have any, we all do. Figure it out, work with it and on it, upscale it then sit back and watch the dividends of your gift flow from all corners.
I forgot to add something important, put God in charge of everything you are doing, your goals, dreams, friendships, etc. Allow him to take the wheel.
I am rooting for you and me, all my Love.
