Never Stop Using Your Natural Gifts

Humans have been given many gifts which has been able to keep us alive for millions of years. We've gone through brutal trials and tribulations as a race and yet, we still walk and talk to this day because of these incredible gifts. These gifts are something you use constantly. You use them every day. Do you know what they are?


One of them is the beautiful gift of knowledge. We have the capacity to create, attain, and maintain endless amounts of knowledge. From our basic motor skills to designing the most intricate sculptures.

 For millions of years knowledge has been used for us to survive and utilizing survival methods has revolutionized dramatically over the course of time. However, in order for us to attain knowledge, we must understand that we have another incredible gift, the gift of learning.

Our brains have many, many compartments which hold knowledge and allow you to go in and pull it out at will. However, in order for knowledge to be placed into these compartments, we must be able to know how to learn. We must take the knowledge we are gaining and learn its usage so we can apply it for our future selves to utilize.

One way of learning which I mainly want to focus on is our ability to understand language. Language is an amazing tool humanity owns because that is one of the major ways we learn ever since we came out of the womb. We learn by experiencing events in our lives and interpreting them with language so we can better understand our experiences. Babies use language to pair what they see. That is why when we were children, we know what a tree, a ball, or a car is.

So what was the point of all this? Why did I suddenly bring up knowledge, learning, and reading to the table? Because these three gifts are what is going to keep you alive. They are what is going to keep generations of humans alive for the next Nth amount of years.

But what I truly wish to emphasize is reading. Reading isn't just books. Reading is everything. Reading signs, reading emotions, reading languages, reading everything is what will help you attain the knowledge you need to survive. It is a sacred gift which we can never lose.

So take this post and think about how you attain knowledge. Would you rather read more? Would you rather experience more? Whatever way you can think of, own it. Own it and apply it to everything you do. Never stop learning. Never stop attaining knowledge.
