There are many gifts, and to everyone is given a gift…to some is given one, and to some is given another, that all may be profited thereby. – Mormon Scripture
People fall on a personality spectrum. For example, some people are super type A and are always moving, and motivated to get things done. The other side of that coin is people who are super chill, and happy with the way things are. My sister lives 900 miles away so we only see each other on visits. I love this girl, but she moves at a different pace than I do. When I visit her, I adapt to her pace. We wander through grocery stores looking at the back of labels, discussing options and what products we like best. The girl is late to everything. I am the opposite. My life is pretty much a whirl of constant motion. She and I have talked about our goals before. She said that she has set a personal goal to take action when she sees something that needs to be done, instead of asking someone else to do it (her husband or kids). I laughed and told her that I had almost the opposite goal, I had set a personal goal to let other people do things I ask them to instead of doing it myself 10 seconds after I ask them to do it (my husband and kids). But there are things we have the opportunity to learn from each other. I can learn to relax a little, and she could learn to pick up the pace. Or we can just try to be the best versions of ourselves we can and offer our gifts to the world as they stand. We’re are all in this together, and it’s by design that we bring lots of different strengths to the table.
