I've been on Twitter for about 4 hours in the last two days and I'm amazed at the caliber of the people I'm learning about. I was awe struck a few minutes ago when I realized in 2 days I'd added over 750 followers. That got me to thinking: "What makes me unique?"

I never thought of myself having any qualities that were different from the skills and abilities that others had. In fact, when I compared myself to others, I usually overvalued their talents and undervalued mine. People would tell me how bright I am, what a good writer I am, how funny I am or what a great intuitive I am and I would get uncomfortable.

Who are they talking about, I wondered?  I must fess up, this still is my first reaction to a compliment. I've decided to see "me" from the eyes of the person who had something nice to say about me. They all can't be wrong...can they? 
 
Fast forward to this very moment. Today, I finally got it – we are all have special gifts and abilities and nobody has them all! Therefore, I leave being a master chef, a pianist, a rodeo clown and many other jobs to those who have the skills and desire to do those things. I don’t have those abilities and I’m delighted that others do. It allows them to do what they love and it gives me the opportunity to do what I love. Phew, not having to “do it all” or to be an expert in everything is sure liberating.

I am a mystic who leads people on their unique path to personal and spiritual growth. I give them the courage to go into uncharted waters and am their virtual life support. I share with them how I crossed the river, when I never thought I’d be able to get to the other side and was sure I’d die. I “hold the light” so they can see how to get to their desired destination.

Every third person seems to be a coach these days, hence I'm using the title "joyologist". And, in the past, I’d get scared that there weren’t enough clients to go around. That was my fear talking and a subconscious belief in limit and lack.

I’ve replaced that with thinking “abundantly.” I now know that whoever will benefit from working with ME will be led to me. It’s my unique talent, skills, abilities and life experiences that make me a wonderful coach for some people and not for others and that’s fine. It allows me work with spiritual passion with my clients and to continue to grow and change so I can lead them further along their own path.

I love being the mystic that I am and am grateful for all the rough water I’ve gotten passed so others can sail smoothly to wherever and whatever their inner guidance system directs them. May we all find joy in the journey.
