This Ted Talk by Stacey Kramer is just over 3 minutes long and has a surprising twist. Without giving it all away, she speaks of this amazing gift that she received that changed her life in many ways. But it is not a gift any of us would like to receive. Sometimes the things we don't want, have a gift in them if we look for it.
In this season of gift giving, look for the hidden gifts that have come to you over the years. Sometimes a job loss leads to the most rewarding career, the break-up to a better relationship, the disaster that made you start life all over forced you to create a new, amazing life.
When life gives you something that you don't want but you have no control over it, then try embracing it and look for the gift. It is not easy to do but you have nothing to lose. Sometimes the gift isn't evident at first, but if you look hard enough, you can find it.
What is something that you first perceived as horrible that later on served you well? What "problems" in your life today can you view as gifts?
