A note from Steven
Like most of us, I had spent most of my life looking for other people to tell me how great I am. I always wanted to look good and be acknowledged for who I am. The truth is, that I did not look within to see for myself what my special gifts are that make me so great. Unable to see my gifts, I did not see the innate gifts of others either.
The impact of not knowing…
Being unaware of my gifts or the ability to market them created a financial roller coaster for me. I am living testament for the 20 + years of being on a marathon of creating, being a busy bee, and destroying my creations for not liking them much anymore. How did I do this? I created new companies based on opportunities and the possibility to make money. When I got there, I got bored and began sitting on the bench telling employees how to do their job right, and ended up as frustrated as a spectator on a bleacher. From the stands, I could pass judgment on the players but not really affect the final score of the game. The final score of my game was destruction of my business by LACK : lack of interest, lack of participation and lack of the expression of my gifts
My breakdown
I got tired of working hard with nothing heart-felt to show, creating just to have a challenge, making more money, which had no satisfying application, and not finding peace within. On my 40th birthday, I came to a complete stop . Before I continued any further, I had to know — “Who am I today? What do I want? What are my gifts ? How do I use them to create the business and life that I want ?!” From this need to know more about how I could better every part of myself, I embarked on a blissful journey of discovering my special gifts and using them to create, with intention , what I choose in life.
Where can you find traces of my gifts?
Everywhere! I take joy in expressing my gifts as a marketing expert , a business and life coach , a speaker , and an intuitive . I also enjoy painting, writing, dancing, singing, cooking, playing tennis, golf, flying small airplanes, scuba diving, sky diving, running, snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, camping, world traveling, partying, intimate relationships, Tantra, massage therapy, energy work, intuitive readings and being in communication with all life. In short, being in love with life .
I am so moved by the power of discovering the gifts within that I continuously have the need to come out of hiding, get out to the world, and share all that I have to offer. I have come down from the stands into the playing field and this time around, I am participating in the games that bring out my greatest gifts to be expressed with joy , peace, a sense of purpose, clarity and abundance .
So what are your gifts?
The ocean you see behind me, is an ocean we all have in our midst full of gifts and possibilities . To find your gifts you need to jump in and go for a swim. Just do it! Find your true dreams and manifest them with your gifts .
Here is to all who dare to dream higher,
Love
Steven
