As I grow older, I have been able to discover the things I am able to do such as playing music, sports, repairing some machines, cook some food, gardening, baby sitting and a lot more. But, one thing I noticed is that I am not capable of pushing myself to perfect any of them. I am limited with each and every of those skills which make me feel frustrated especially in times when I see some people who are really good at what they are doing. Whereas I can see myself on the other side of the corner incapable of perfection.
More often I would see myself in the mirror and ask myself the same question: "Why I can't perfect any single skills?
"Jack-of-all-trades, master of none".
I am reminded by this line when I see myself in front of the mirror.
Well, how bad can it be?
At least I can have fun time for myself and help others in different ways. I am happy that I can learn a lot of things pretty easily. I can fit in myself in almost anything in the world. I must be grateful for having this gift because not everyone has the ability to learn the same things I could. Sometimes, I think like this maybe a tool for me to connect and reach out other people. It seems like God has given me this ability so He can use me to bless other people.
Whatever the reason is, I must continue to uncover other potentials I may have and strive myself towards fulfilling what God has planned for me to do with kindness and gratefulness.
One more thing you're good at: writing. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this insightful post! I often find myself being in these two categories. Sometimes I am being jealous to those who is able to -let's say- play piano better than I am..."Why can't I be like him/her?" But at the other time, I got frustrated when I see a person who can learn a lot of things pretty easily and fit in him/herself in almost anything in this world. :P
But as you said, God has given us different abilities and capabilities to fulfill His special purpose in our lives. Every each of us should be glad and grateful about ourselves, rite?
