The subject of the chapter was "What are your inner gifts and talents?" and "How can I share them with the world?"
I read a short story about a cellist from Sarajevo named Vedran Smailovic. He was a cellist from Bosnia and Herzigovina and played in the Sarajevo Opera, the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra, The Symphony Orchestra RTV Sarajevo, and The National Theatre of Sarajevo.
During the Seige of Sarajevo and the war in Bosnia, like hundreds of thousands of other residents, he survived the cold, food and water shortages, and the dangers of constant bombings and sniper fire in the street. Amongst the accomplishments in his life to date, he's best known for playing his cello each day in the streets and for free at funerals regardless of the dangers to honour each of the 22 people who had been killed by a bomb while they were standing in a bread line. All of this, simply to honor the dead and give people heart in a time of unspeakable adversity.
It got me thinking, what can I do every day to share my inner gifts and talents so they help and inspire people to live better themselves?
Still thinking about that question myself...but, I wanted everyone to read this story and toss that very question around in their minds and think about what you can do to spread good life and energy around to others.

Love and heart are contageous, so be sure to spread it around as much as possible in whatever ways you can.
