“Find your gift. Give it away. That’s living.”

—josh pan

Simple and beautiful. This video is about finding our gifts and sharing them with the world. “Gift giving” is how we contribute to the world in our own unique way to make an impact that nobody else can. We have great power and a great responsibility with our gifts. If we don't share what we have, it can be lost forever. As the great Martha Graham once said:

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.”

—Martha Graham

Read it, and then reread it again. Let the whole meaning soak into your being. Got it? Now go live your life with your channel open, sharing all the greatness you have within. Live!

Here's another quote that I love:

People have asked me why I chose to be a dancer. I did not choose: I was chosen to be a dancer, and, with that, you live all your life.

—Martha Graham
