A skill or talent left unused atrophies…
This has been my recurring thought of the year thus far, haunting my mind daily. That is why you are reading it. I have a very active mind an imagination. The squirrel cage in my head is usually in hyper drive with a full crew of monkeys surrounding it at all times.
Writing is a great way to get the noise out of my mind and slow things down. I do this every day. I have been doing it every day for a very long time. I just haven’t shared, posted, or published it every day. There really in no need to. Much of what I scribble is nonsense, simply random thoughts that need to be released from the cage to relieve some pressure between my ears.
Every once in a while, however, a thought emerges in my writing that I think others might need or want to hear. That said, I decided on New Year’s Day that I would start sharing some of these ramblings for a couple of reasons. One, because some of these thoughts might be just what someone needs to hear. And two, because I do not want my wiring muscles to atrophy as the opening thought suggests.
I am by no means asserting that I have any skill or talent in writing, but I do love to write and improvement and mastery comes with practice. I write often but the regularity in both writing and posting has dwindled over the last two years. I do believe that I have many years of experience in life and business and have some thoughts that many can find value in to assist along their own journey. With that, I thank you for being my victims and I hope I am able to help.
I plan to make the “Ramble On” feature short and sweet, sharing simple thoughts that I think will provide value to others. I do not plan to do this daily, but a few times a week to start as long as the inspiration fuels me. Don’t worry, I will do my best to refrain from sharing the chaotic, mumbo jumbo swirling my brain from the arguing monkeys and squirrels.
To close, the second half of the opening thought is that an unused skill or talent also deprives the world of gifts. When you leave a skill or talent in your tool chest to collect dust, not only does it wither away, it also deprives the world of the gifts you have to share. You never know who needs to receive what you have to offer.
Make 2022 the year you open up your chest, dust off the contents, and take that leap to share your gifts.
