Questions and Reflections

What are your true gifts?

Posted on Apr 24th, 2009 by Siona : Synchronicity Coordinator Siona
This week, in honor of Earth Day, we're taking questions from Duane Elgin's
new book, The Living Universe. In the final pages, he offers a few conversation starters in hopes of sparking awareness about the possibilities available to us. Let's see what you think. :)


According to Duane Elgin, we all have 'near gifts' (things that we're pretty good at, at that most of us use when we're at work) and 'true gifts' (those that express our unique talents, interests, abilities, and passions). In Elgin's view, this is not the time for half-hearted contribution: the world needs our greatest talents. What does this mean to you?
