How To Use Your Skills

by Encouragement Speaker Derrick Hayes

Everyone has a God given ability or skill that can be used to inspire and motivate others. A skill is defined by Dictionary.com as an ability to use one’s knowledge effectively in doing something. In Thessolonians 4:11-12, a foundation is given for “How To Use Your Skills”, The scripture says “And that ye study to be quiet, and do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we command you; That you may walk honestly toward that are without, and that you may have lack for nothing.”

In order to know “How To Use Your Skills” you must know what your skills are, become an expert at what you do, network with others and use your skills to achieve dreams.

Is there something that you are good at or just like to do? The answer to this question can open up your life to many opportunities that may not have already come your way. I like to give speeches and write daily quotes.

Once you realize what you are good at, then it is time for you to capitalize on your efforts. You can be known as an expert in your industry by writing books, articles, columns and newsletters. Everything you do will develop your talents and increase your chances to succeed.

For example my father in law is a trained carpenter where he uses his talents to fix doors, and build houses while making sure people live in a comfortable environment. You can have a natural or trained ability that can lead you to start businesses, build careers or change lives.

You are reading this article because of networking. I was on-line networking while reading Robert Lee’s profile. I saw that he was a Director of Events. I sent him a message and we began to discuss opportunities on how we could work together in the future. After trading contact information one of the results was an opportunity to speak at an event he put together.

No matter where you come from there is an opportunity inside you that is waiting to come out. Find out what you can do and become great at it. On your way to the top don’t forget about others who can also benefit from networking with you.

We all have the skills to pay the bills. I hope you figure out “How To Use Your Skills” because my slogan is “Use Your Skills or Someone Else Will”.
