As Thanksgiving approaches, our minds turn to gratitude and what we are thankful for.

For a moment, I’m going to turn that around and ask you to look at how you bless others.

How others are thankful for you.

You see, you have a blessing, a gift.

There is something that you were uniquely designed for.

No matter how many people there are in your niche, you do what you do in a unique way.

And the other thing about your blessing is you do it whether you’re paid for it or not. You can’t not do your blessing.

Now, you may be on the path to nail down what that gift is. I call that “getting on your dime.” And, you know what, it’s a lifelong pact.

So, this Thanksgiving, as you reflect upon what you’re grateful for, include gratitude for your gift to others, for the way that you heal or teach or coach or train.

Because, let me tell you, if you are anywhere in the vicinity of your dime, there are hundreds of people who are grateful to you.
