Our signature gift

# Chapter 202

What are you dealing out these days? Hope? Despair? Complaints? Encouragement? Sweetness? Meanness? Joy? Madness? Love? Hate? And of course you don’t have to be one of these extremes, you can be mindlessly mediocre and doling out the Doldrums, Blahs, Mehs, Uninspiring, Unmoving, Unexciting, Uninvolved, Unengaged, Uninteresting.

So while I could have gone on for pages and pages of more adjectives, the real point here is that we are all dealers. We all are giving out something to the rest of the world, or at the very least our worlds, and that we have a choice in the matter. So what are you known for dealing? What is it like to be in your emotional wake? What do you leave behind in your exchanges with other Homo sapiens? Are people energized and excited or are they deflated and depressed? Somewhere in-between? You and I are dishing out something and I know the poisonous as well as the fragrant. I have seen those that hurt and those that heal. I have seen those that inspire and those that crush. I have known those that generate anger and those that gift with generosity. I have rubbed elbows with the amazingly spiteful and with the beautifully benevolent.

Today (and tomorrow’s) question is this, what is my signature gift? What am I best known for and most remembered by? And if it is not outstandingly awesome, why am I not choosing to change what I am dealing?
