Episode Introduction and Significance
00:00:02
Speaker
Bigger Talks, Bigger Talks podcast.
00:00:04
Speaker
I'm back again for another episode.
00:00:07
Speaker
And I want you to take a deep breath.
00:00:12
Speaker
Because this episode is very important to me.
Defining 'Gift' as an Acronym
00:00:16
Speaker
And it's about your gift, right?
00:00:19
Speaker
We all have a gift in life.
00:00:21
Speaker
And gift to me stands for greatness, intelligence, faith, and trust, right?
00:00:28
Speaker
You got to be great enough to know you're intelligent enough to have more faith than a little bit, to trust yourself,
00:00:35
Speaker
to trust in something greater for those gifts or that gift to actualize, to manifest, to crystallize in your world.
Responsibility and Misuse of Talents
00:00:44
Speaker
Now, the context to this is that
00:00:48
Speaker
having a gift in order for it to work, you have to be responsible for the gift, right?
00:00:55
Speaker
Like you have to be responsible.
00:00:57
Speaker
And I think most people, all people, we have a gift, but we're not responsible for it.
00:01:02
Speaker
You know, there's people who have the gift of gab who can talk with the best of them, but they're using their voice and their words for the wrong reason.
00:01:10
Speaker
They could be manipulating people, taking advantage of people.
00:01:14
Speaker
You have people who have the gift of energy, but yet they're giving their energy to the wrong things and wrong people.
00:01:23
Speaker
You have the people who have the gift of listening and giving feedback, but they're not responsible when it comes to giving themselves feedback and listening to themselves.
Personal Experience with Unique Gifts
00:01:33
Speaker
So I say all that to say, I'm going to give you a story into the gift of who I am and what I do and how I see and how I had to be responsible for my gift.
00:01:43
Speaker
And I know you're asking like, okay, Eric, but what is your gift?
00:01:46
Speaker
You can say a lot of things, my energy, my intellect, my speaking.
00:01:53
Speaker
I believe my gift is knowing, right?
00:01:58
Speaker
Knowing, knowing the truth about things.
00:02:00
Speaker
Kind of like psychic or just knowing the truth.
00:02:05
Speaker
Knowing when I should use my energy.
00:02:07
Speaker
Knowing when I should leave a friendship or relationship.
00:02:11
Speaker
Knowing when I should say yes to an opportunity.
00:02:15
Speaker
So knowing that you have to be responsible for your gift.
00:02:20
Speaker
So I know I'm chosen, right?
00:02:23
Speaker
I'm a chosen one.
00:02:24
Speaker
I've been here before.
00:02:25
Speaker
I'm an old soul.
00:02:26
Speaker
So with that comes a lot of different challenges, changes, and opportunity, and blessings, and breakthroughs, and pros, and cons, and all these things.
Challenges of Being 'Chosen'
00:02:36
Speaker
But sometimes when you're chosen, you're not going to always be accepted, right?
00:02:41
Speaker
by everybody.
00:02:43
Speaker
When you're chosen, you're not going to always fit in.
00:02:48
Speaker
When you're chosen, most times you're never going to think about
00:02:53
Speaker
the people who are not chosen.
00:02:56
Speaker
So what I mean by that is say, say for instance, I know I have a mission here on earth.
00:03:01
Speaker
So there's certain things after a while that I know I could no longer do.
00:03:05
Speaker
Now, I'm not saying that I would never have a drink again in my life.
00:03:11
Speaker
Well, currently I don't drink.
00:03:12
Speaker
I haven't been drinking for the last...
00:03:15
Speaker
Four years, four years, five years.
00:03:16
Speaker
I haven't probably had a drink here and there, but I don't drink.
00:03:19
Speaker
And so what I discovered over time with me partying and traveling the world, you know, being on TV, having success and drinking is really not good for my spirit or my spiritual evolution.
00:03:30
Speaker
So I'm not supposed to drink.
00:03:32
Speaker
So what happens when most of your friends or peers drink when you go out unconsciously, you even feel in the first phase for me, at least feel like you should drink because you want to be a part of the group, part of the crowd.
Self-awareness and Social Pressures
00:03:45
Speaker
But I don't need a drink to have fun.
00:03:47
Speaker
I tell people I am the drink, right?
00:03:49
Speaker
So that's one thing.
00:03:53
Speaker
For social aspects, like not drinking or wanting to go out and hang out late at night, you know, when you hungover, the hangover takes longer than expected.
00:04:04
Speaker
Your body's inflamed.
00:04:05
Speaker
You can't sleep.
00:04:06
Speaker
You're not thinking clear.
00:04:08
Speaker
And by all means, no knocks anybody who drinks.
00:04:10
Speaker
I think alcohol is meant for what it's meant for to celebrate, to socialize, to have fun, but not to overuse it.
00:04:16
Speaker
Right.
00:04:17
Speaker
So that's one thing.
00:04:18
Speaker
Two is.
00:04:21
Speaker
I'm so committed to being my best self, so I'm willing to work on myself more than the average person or average individual.
00:04:28
Speaker
So I know with that comes getting up.
00:04:31
Speaker
5 a.m.
00:04:31
Speaker
in the morning every morning, at least four to five days a week.
00:04:35
Speaker
So what does that mean?
00:04:36
Speaker
I have to be responsible for getting up early because I know what it takes to be great or to be my best self.
00:04:41
Speaker
So I might have to go to bed before 11.
00:04:43
Speaker
Go to bed before 10.30.
00:04:45
Speaker
That's being responsible for your gift.
Building Supportive Relationships
00:04:47
Speaker
Also, this is very important.
00:04:49
Speaker
Please, please, because most of you have a gift and you know you have a gift and you're not trusting your gift because you're around people who are not embracing the gift that you are or the gift that you have.
00:05:00
Speaker
I believe most people with a gift, depending on who they are and where they are, they have people around them that are not in alignment of that gift or in alignment of their best self.
00:05:13
Speaker
But because of love, emotional attachment, longevity of the relationship or the friendship, you keep those people around so that in return over time, unconsciously, their energy become your energy.
00:05:26
Speaker
They actually take more than they give and...
00:05:32
Speaker
They don't really benefit you in the long run, but you hold on to them because you think that, oh, you want to be loyal, you have to be a friend, but they're not good for your gift and they can help you miss opportunities with your gift because they're not the right people for that gift.
00:05:50
Speaker
So you have to make decisions.
00:05:51
Speaker
This is, again, being responsible for the gift where you have to let some people go.
00:05:55
Speaker
And that can be friends, family, or even a partner.
00:05:57
Speaker
If they're not in alignment of your highest self or not in alignment with that gift, you've got to release them.
00:06:04
Speaker
Right.
00:06:04
Speaker
So that's, again, being responsible for the gift.
00:06:07
Speaker
So next, I want to talk about.
Overcoming Distractions
00:06:13
Speaker
The uncomfortable part about being a gift, you know you have something within you and about you that's different than others that yet.
00:06:21
Speaker
You even get criticized for or you get put in a box for it so say this is someone who is.
00:06:31
Speaker
Super attractive.
00:06:33
Speaker
So person who's super attractive, that is somewhat a gift because everybody doesn't come into this world with features and blessed and look a certain way with physique, body, right?
00:06:41
Speaker
And people automatically project their truths on you based on what they see.
00:06:47
Speaker
Like, oh, you don't have a problem getting...
00:06:49
Speaker
You know, a partner or ladies for a guy or men for a girl, like because you're attractive or, oh, look at your body.
00:06:57
Speaker
You work out, you're fit.
00:06:58
Speaker
You're blessed with that.
00:07:00
Speaker
It's hard for me.
00:07:01
Speaker
Right.
00:07:01
Speaker
They put all these projections on you, but they don't know what you got to go through to be who you are.
00:07:06
Speaker
So actually, when you have gifts, and I'm going to segue to this, so saving this looks, there's so many distractions that come with that, right?
00:07:12
Speaker
So when you have a gift, you're going to have distractions that's going to distract you from the gift being crystallized and utilizing the universe in your time here.
00:07:19
Speaker
So that's why it's important for you to be responsible for your gift, for you to acknowledge it, for you to understand it, for you to know it, and for you to own it, right?
Releasing Unsupportive Relationships
00:07:29
Speaker
So like I said, again, my gift is knowing certain things I know.
00:07:35
Speaker
about things and most times over the course of my life I will accept it to a fault and if it was something with someone else that I was around
00:07:49
Speaker
I knew I couldn't be around them, but I didn't know how to release them because I was so tied into them or I cared about them or I want the best for them.
00:07:55
Speaker
But their energy and who they were was taking me.
00:07:59
Speaker
No one taking me down.
00:08:00
Speaker
It just wasn't pushing me to my higher self.
00:08:02
Speaker
That's basically what I'm saying.
00:08:04
Speaker
Also, you got to know you will become the five people you surround yourself with.
00:08:11
Speaker
It's osmosis.
00:08:12
Speaker
It's human nature.
00:08:15
Speaker
It rubs off.
00:08:16
Speaker
So make sure you're around people who you aspire to be, who you want to be, who you look up to, that's going to channel your higher self to be your best self for the gift, for the greatness, for the intellect, for the faith and for the trust.
Recognizing and Utilizing Gifts
00:08:31
Speaker
So right now, think about what is your gift?
00:08:39
Speaker
What gift do you have?
00:08:42
Speaker
And with that gift, are you utilizing that on a day-to-day basis?
00:08:45
Speaker
Are you tapping into it here and there?
00:08:48
Speaker
Are you kind of lazy, fair, going through the motions with it?
00:08:50
Speaker
Are you actually owning the gift that you've been given in this lifetime?
00:08:54
Speaker
Because as Steve Harvey says, your gift will make room for you.
00:08:59
Speaker
Your gift will make room for you.
00:09:02
Speaker
So my gift has made room for me knowing that I had to come to LA 10 plus years ago.
00:09:08
Speaker
Knowing I had to say yes to certain opportunities.
00:09:10
Speaker
Knowing I had to take chances for advances, right?
00:09:13
Speaker
That's part of my gift.
00:09:15
Speaker
So I want you to know about your gift so it can make room for you and not take it for granted.
00:09:22
Speaker
But more importantly, be responsible for the gift.
00:09:26
Speaker
So your gift requires you to be responsible
00:09:29
Speaker
at home at a certain time every day, go home.
00:09:31
Speaker
If your gift requires you to be isolated and not around your peers as much, do that.
00:09:37
Speaker
If your gift requires you to sacrifice not seeing your family and loved ones for some time, do that.
00:09:44
Speaker
Because if you don't own what the gift is telling you or giving you, you won't know the fruits or manifestations of that thing.
00:09:52
Speaker
Now, I'm not saying it's easy.
00:09:54
Speaker
It is challenging because there's a lot of sacrifices involved when you have a gift you have to be responsible for.
00:10:00
Speaker
But if you're willing to take yourself and take your life to the next level, embrace every part of your gift.
00:10:07
Speaker
Don't feel bad about it.
00:10:08
Speaker
Embrace it.
00:10:10
Speaker
And take it for me.
00:10:13
Speaker
When you use your gift, your gift will bring you more gifts to the universe and will bring you more opportunity, more relationships, more people and more life experiences for you to enjoy.
Community Building and Feedback
