Whenever I’d reflect on who I was, I never saw the good. I never saw that I had skills people would give their right arm for.

I began realizing I had skills that were valuable after I picked up a copy of Dan Miller’s 48 Days To The Work You Love (Check out my interview with Dan Miller). In his book, Dan tells us that there are opportunities all around us. We only need to open our eyes and see.

The words began to seep deep within my soul. I began to see where my talents lay.

I soon discovered I had a penchant for computer repair, leading, and writing.
