What if we all explored and used our talents? What if we took the things we loved doing and share it with other people. How many of us have those talents that we think we are good at, but figure no one wants to hear it? How many of us are too afraid to put ourselves out there? I hope that the children here find their talents and passions but instead of keeping that bottled up, use it to better themselves, their friends their community and the world. If one-person smiles, one person laughs at your joke it’s a win and you NEVER know who needs to hear it. God did not give you these talents to sit there and not use them. God did not give these talents to just anyone. Use it, embrace it and pursue what makes you happy. Just watch this video of a break time at one of Michael Jr.’s comedy shows:
You never know who you are talking to. You never know who you are sitting next too. Just look at those sitting around this gentleman. He made their day, he made my day and I hope he made yours. So sing loud, have fun and remember your gifts, your passions deserve to be shared, because that is what keeps you happy!
