A gift

A recent hike gave me the opportunity – and the time – to realise that giving up is not an option for me.

Had enough after 20 km on a 42 km marathon? Uh-uh! Abandoning a 1,000-km hike because of tendinitis? Don’t even think about it!

I may not be a top athlete, but I’ve discovered that I have a particular talent: the gift of perseverance.

An undecided client? I chase them up, make a counter offer and send him or her my best regards until we can do business together.

In short, this gift enables me to see the most ambitious projects through to the end.

A gift isn’t always obvious at first glance. What is it that enables you to fulfil your potential?
