092: Living Your LifePlan: Your Talents




The Paterson Podcast show

Summary: This week we dive into a new mini-series on living your LifePlan. Pursuing our life purpose is incredibly fulfilling and life-giving, but it can also be really hard and challenging at times. This series is designed to help you live a life of purpose; equipping you with fresh tools, insights, and approaches to help you manage and live out your LifePlan to the fullest.<br> <br> In this first conversation in the series, Stephen Milburn joins David Mitchell for a conversation about the unique core talents that lie within each of us. Becoming aware of one's talents is only the first step in the journey; talents are meant to be stewarded and cultivated. But how do we invest in our talents so that they can be used for greater contribution in the world around us?<br> <br> "A formational way to grow [a talent] is to recognize that the talent you are employing with your family, at work, and in your community, etc... is young; it’s something you are just beginning to understand and sometimes you’ll apply a talent and it might not look like a talent… it might looks messy... it might fail. That's why it's important to understand or return to a beginner’s mind," comments Stephen.<br> <br> "There’s a beautiful joy and freedom that comes from discovering our own unique talents… but the invitation is greater than that; we get to turn our eyes to the rest of the world, and to our loved ones, and realize that there is talent everywhere… Just like in a treasure hunt, all around us there is talent waiting to be uncovered," David tell us.<br> <br> For more on how to identify, cultivate, and discover talent in yourself and others, listen in!
