The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside of us while we live.

The sad thing is that most people have lost sight of the human gifts that lie within them and have resigned themselves to spending the best years of their lives watching television in a subdivision.
Humankind abused its limitless powers. Too many people spend more time focusing on their weaknesses rather than developing their strengths.
Perhaps you have just not taken the time to discover what your personal gifts are and then honed them to the level where you are considered brilliant.

Are you using the best within you to its fullest capacity? If not, you are not only doing yourself a disservice, you are doing the world, and all those within it who could benefit from your unique talents, a disservice.
