Hey listeners, welcome back to "How I Discovered My Gifts," I'm your host, David D. Simons. Today, we're tackling a topic close to my heart: the importance of not just waiting for miracles, but actively engaging in our lives. You see, miracles have been a big part of my journeyI've seen some truly amazing ones. But, I've learned that depending on miracles alone isn't what God intends for us.

"God wants you to depend on his principles and his promises," this realization hit me hard during a tough time after college. I experienced a miracle that taught me the value of God's principles over solely seeking miracles. This episode isn't just my story; it's a call to action for all of us to find a balance between seeking divine intervention and applying God's principles in our daily lives.

Whether you're in need of guidance, a miracle, or ways to integrate God's principles into your life, this episode is for you. Let's explore together how to discover our gifts, not just by waiting for miracles, but by embracing and living out the principles that guide us. Tune in, and let's embark on this journey together. Catch you on the next one, and always remember to be blessed!

Hey there, doers! You're about to tune into an incredibly inspiring episode of "How I Discovered My Gifts" with your host, David D. Simons. Today's solo edition is all about turning a commonly misunderstood concept on its head - that idea that "what's done in the dark comes to light." But here's the twist: David's focusing on the positive side of this phrase.

Picture this: an apple tree, growing its roots in secret in the dark earth. That's the metaphor David uses to show how our hard work, often unseen, eventually bears fruit for everyone to see. This episode isn't just talk it's packed with real-life examples and personal stories that really drive the message home.

And for those of you who appreciate a good biblical reference, David's got you covered. He brings in Luke 12:2-3 and Luke 8:17, which talk about how what we do and say in private eventually comes out into the open. Plus, there's a nod to Matthew 6, focusing on the power of private prayer and the blessings that follow.

David's message today? Those late nights, those early mornings, the times when you're grinding away with no one watching they matter. They're building towards something great. And he's here to remind you that all this hard work you're putting in when no one's watching is going to pay off. It's about embracing those unseen hours and knowing that your efforts won't stay hidden forever.

So, as you listen to David today, think about the unseen work you're doing in your life. Are you ready to put in more of those unseen hours? Because, as David says, greatness can't stay hidden forever. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and maybe even change the way you view your work in the dark. Enjoy the episode, and let's discover our gifts together!

If youre looking to find your purpose and you dont know what youre purpose is, find your passion and it will lead you to your purpose. I was supposed to be an engineer but growing up, I realize that was not something I was passionate about. I was just passing the check and on the edge of spending 6 years in prison. But it was a miracle that I graduated high school and I was able to find my passion and my purpose in digital marketing.

As you go through this episode, you will find out the important reasons why we should share our gifts and the impact of not distributing them. As you learn more about your gifts, you will discover that more and more opportunities to make use of them arise. This is because your gifts are a channel through which the universe operates. By simply doing what you are good at and also love to do, you make a positive difference.

During the lifetime of Dr. Myles Munroe, he was committed to transforming followers into leaders and leaders into agents of change through our God-given gifts. In this episode we are going to discuss the 7 lessons we must understand about our gifts from the late Myles Munroe:

1. When it comes to releasing your potential, only God knows your value and potential.

2. God created nothing without a gift in it. God put a gift in every single thing.

3. You can be fired from your job, but you can never be fired from your gift.

4. Whatever you were born to do is not ahead of you, its in you.

5. People are not attracted to you, they are attracted to your gift

6. If you never find your gift, youre a generational thief.

7. Every human being was born with an inherent gift, and that gift is their gift to humanity; they are supposed to serve humanity in the area of their gifting.

These are the lessons that we need to understand from the late Dr. Myles Munroe. Nobody knows our value or true potential better than God and we should never judge someones value based on our perception.

Imagine if we got to see the process or the journey of the most successful people. The nuggets we would have gleaned along the way. The Mozarts, the Helen Kellers, the Serena Williams, the Oprahs, the Bill Gates, if they did not start sharing their gifts with others, would they be where they are today?As youre going through your journey, your peek, your success, you have to understand there are people that would love and benefit from that journey. And that is what we have to do: share. Share that podcast, share the knowledge, share that book, share that course, share that idea whatever it is, whatever you can do, you should share.

A lot of people feel like they have to get to the pinnacle of their gifts before sharing it. The truth is that you need to develop and constantly develop your gift but you also need to understand that the way to develop it, is through sharing it. Your gift, no matter what state is in, is no good when you keep it to yourself.

When you share your gift, you are actually opening doors and opportunities.Your gift will make room for you. It will give you access to opportunities. I became a professor because someone saw my teaching gift. I was invited to make a presentation at an event of 10,000 small businesses.I got little information but I still prepared as much as I could. After my talk, there was a gentleman in the program that took me downstairs and told me that he was going to give me a teaching position in their organization. Now imagine, if I turned down the opportunity to speak in that event, I would not be a professor right now. You dont know how many opportunities youre missing when you decide to keep your gift to yourself.

I challenge you to treat your gift with the highest level of degree and intentionality that it deserves.Your gifts have unlimited capacity to grow and develop. Our gifts, though they are given were not confined to stay where they are. You can enhance your gifts in so many ways to make yourself unstoppable.

Back in high school I got picked on a lot, and to combat that I would fight back with my words I learned how to roast as we use to call it. I would spend a lot of time roasting others and I learned how to get better by studying it. The main way my roasting skills developed was by roasting people at school. When they started to make fun of me I had a rebuttal and most of the time my rebuttals were way better. At the time I was very proud of it but today I am not so proud. You see I was hurting a lot of people with my words. People say sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. That is a bold face lie. In actuality words can be the most damaging thing in ones life.

Du Burns, Nathan C. Irby, William Donald Schaffer, Carolyn, Stith, Robert L. Douglass, and a host of others.

For nearly two decades I had no idea of my gift nor my purpose. It's amazing they teach us about history, English, math, science, physical education, and yet I have never taken a class on the most important element of my life, finding out what my gifts are which lead me to my purpose. Did you know each and every day there are over 1 billion people searching for what is my purpose on Google since that is the case why Not add it to the school curriculum

A lot of times your gift is the thing you do so well but dont recognize, this makes it hard for you to find it. Your gift comes so naturally to you because its part of you, it's something inside of you that comes outside of you. Some people have easily identifiable gifts like they are athletic, they can sing, they are naturally humorous. A majority of gifts are not easily identifiable like productivity, the ability to solve math equations, organization, collaboration, and many others.

Most people will see your gift more clearly than you will. For myself, there was a gift that Ive always had and many people would tell me over and over including my wife that you are so good at this. They would say David youre a teacher your good at teaching and I would always think teaching is for teachers in a classroom. Remember these gifts have no boundaries and cannot be confined by. I would teach naturally and it wasnt something I sought after or looked for.The gift can be so close to us and we dont think it's anything special so we devalue our own gifts because weve been using those gifts our whole lives.

That gift that you have that innate talent, that special unique ability, that thing your able to do or multiple things your able to do without much effort, thats your gift! I didnt think my ability to teach or encourage was special or to even be seen as a gift. I know now the power of my gift and I want the same for you. I believe everybody on earth has a least one gift they can use to make a difference in another person's life.If you dont know what your gifts are I am going to challenge you to ask people close to you to tell you what they see in you that comes naturally to you.Like one of my mentors Delatorro McNeal says it's hard to see the picture when youre in the frame. You may be surprised at what you find and then when you identify you have the responsibility to develop it and from that development more doors and opportunities will come to you. Let people help you find what you are unconsciously amazing at. Maximize your gifts and you will receive gifts also!

Three Questions to Ask to Find that Innate Gift:

1. Ask Friends and Family what they think you are good at?
2. What type of problems do you like to solve?
3. What you do for free for the rest of your life? What would you do with your life If you were a multi-millionaire?

Here is Cortney in his own words:

At my young age, Ive been through a lot. My single mother raised my 3 siblings and I in a small trailer park in Columbus, MS. I grew up for 10 years without my dad, and I didnt address him as dad until I was 24yrs old.

I was an average student in high school and became a college dropout after 3 years at a 2-year community college. I got married at 21 without a job or a plan. In our first year of marriage Christian and I had a miscarriage (quadruplets), and this was the darkest time of my life.

Ive been poor with$0 to my name while chasing my dream of being an entrepreneur. Ive been lied on, hated on, talked about, deceived and outcast by friends, family and even pastors. But, with every story of tribulation is a bright side.

On the other side of all Ive been through, not only have I survived, but God has taught me how to thrive during the darkness. And, if little ol me can endure those experiences and still be a success, so can you.

Youcanachieve success if you work hard, remain determined, and keep the faith. It doesnt matter how you start, but how you continue the journey and finish.

Ive started and run freelance businesses in music instruction, photography, video production, magazine publishing and graphic & web design. Today I run 2 companies,Sargent BrandingandE Squared Publishing; and Im President ofa non-profit calledUp Together Foundation, Inc.

Mypeople skills have been developed and sharpened through years of working in management, customer service, and agency environments. One of my gifts isunderstandingand relating to people where they are in life.I have made it my lifes work to serve othersso much so that I am beloved as The Peoples Entrepreneur.

In 2011 I published my first book Guide to Beginner Music Theory, and my second second book Stuck In Neutral: How to Achieve Success by Living Life in Drive in 2015. Inmy spare timeI allowmy passion for music to flourish. Iplay the piano, bass guitar and saxophone (on occasion), and havean instrumental jazz album, Evolution which is available on Spotify. Along those lines, Christian and I had a family-friendly reality show that ran for 2 seasons on YouTube and local television.
