Gifts Unused Become Pain

Robin Sharma
About this episode

One of the least talked about yet most potent highways into happiness is making things that cause you to get to know potential you didn’t know you had. 
 
As we grow more aware of our natural genius and create things that are beautiful, excellent and original, a sleeping part of us begins to see the light of day. We realize how talented we are. We feel more alive. And our joy soars.

If these insights speak to you and you’re willing to do a little work on the ideas, tools, and habits I’ll happily teach you inside my new world-class digital training program, then I’d love to help you here.
