A few days ago I listened to a talk by Nancy Marmolejo, a successful internet marketer. Her specialty is creating videos to be used on the internet.

Nancy’s heritage is partially Aztec and there is a very interesting philosophy in that tradition. The idea is that every person has “medicine”. This “medicine” is a special gift or gifts this person is endowed with. It is the sort of gift (knowledge, talent, special characteristics) that can be shared with others. Those getting in contact with you will then benefit from your special gift(s).

One could nearly say that it is our duty to share our gifts, to make them available to the world. Don’t hide them - somebody will benefit. Get your message out there! Be yourself, let the medicine and message take over. Don’t let self consciousness stand in your way. Find a way to overcome all obstacles.

I found it very interesting that Shaune Clarke another well known internet marketer and interviewer Yoga Moments at the World Internet Summit in Sydney (Part 4) spoke of very similar things, he called them “talents”.

Yoga takes a slightly different approach - but again the message is to be true to yourself, to find your authentic self, your centre and your Higher Self and be guided by them. Don’t do things that do not come from your authentic self.

Cultivate compassion for all beings. (Yourself first of all!!) I would go so far as to say that it is impossible to be truly compassionate towards others if you are not compassionate towards yourself. I want to leave you with this thought for today.

Here’s to our gifts, talents, medicine…….may they develop and prosper and let us share them with the world!
