Just a thought this morning as I get ready for work. I watched a video on Facebook of a young man who sat down at a piano in what seemed like a busy airport. He was incredible and brought that piano to life with the touch of his fingers. I could tell that he was gifted and he played as if the keys were an extension of himself. As I watched him I was reminded of someone I once knew who had this same talent. Unfortunately he never used his natural gift to create music which was his passion. I used to listen to him play the piano and remember how much he loved playing an Elton John hit or other songs that had me wanting to dance. Yes he was also gifted but unlike the man in this video, he lacked the self confidence to share his talent with anyone else. He died too young with his music still in him as the saying goes.
Another reminder for all of us to use the gifts we were born with instead of wasting our lives with our many excuses based on our lack of fear, judgement and lack of self confidence.
Imagine if this young man did not use his gift to make that piano play... how could he ever be happy hiding what brings out the best in him.
