Iain Thomas Quote on Being Gifted and What That Really Means

    “Being gifted doesn’t mean you’ve been given something.  It means, you have something to give.”

    Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

    Beyond the Quote (344/365)

    The question is, will you give it? Or, maybe better yet, do you even know what your gift is? My belief is that we all have a gift. And while you might hesitate at that thought and think to yourself, “Does he even know who he’s talking to? I’m the least gifted person I know”—I stand firmly in my position. Even if you think to yourself about how gifted and talented you already know you are—that isn’t exactly what I’m talking about—I’m talking about a specific gift.

    Iain Thomas Quote On Giving People A Chance and How Everyone Is Someone

      “Joan of Arc came back as a little girl in Japan, and her father told her to stop listening to her imaginary friends. Elvis was born again in a small village in Sudan, he died hungry, age 9, never knowing what a guitar was. Michelangelo was drafted into the military at age 18 in Korea, he painted his face black with shoe polish and learned to kill. Jackson Pollock got told to stop making a mess, somewhere in Russia. Hemingway, to this day, writes DVD instruction manuals somewhere in China.  He’s an old man on a factory line.  You wouldn’t recognize him. Gandhi was born to a wealthy stockbroker in New York.  He never forgave the world after his father threw himself from his office window, on the 21st floor. And everyone, somewhere, is someone, if we only give them a chance.

      Beyond the Quote (176/365)

      What do you see when you look into the eyes of another human being? Do you see a person for what they appear to be? Do you see them for who they were? Do you see them for who they could be? It depends on the person, I suppose. When I look into the eyes of another human being, I try to see someone who, when given a chance, can become somebody. Somebody who has limitless potential inside that is only but waiting to be molded and realized. Somebody who is capable of great things. Somebody who can make a real difference in their world. I see this in almost everyone. But, not everybody sees it in themselves or others.

          “Love, at every opportunity you are given to love.  Be less afraid.  Embrace each day (none are promised).  Cry when you need to, it’ll make you feel better.  You were put on this planet to feel every feeling you could, do that.  Everything works out in the end.  I promise.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

            “People that make you laugh are more beautiful than beautiful people.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

              “You remember and dwell on all the things you’ve lost and ignore all the things you haven’t.  Because your scars are like stars.  Yet the night stays perfectly black.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                “But really, all we want, and I speak for the entire human race here, is contact.  Someone to let us know that we aren’t alone.  That the world isn’t a dream and you and I really are happening at the same time, even if it’s not in the same place.  That this is real.  You’re really there.  I’m really here.  We’re real.  This is real.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                  “Know someone as much as you can.  Hold onto the moments that define them.  Then when their body leaves, they won’t.”

                    “If the only reason you help is so that you can tell people that you help, I don’t need your help.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                      “The bad news is, people are crueler, meaner and more evil than you’ve ever imagined.  The good news is, people are kinder, gentler and more loving than you’ve ever dreamed.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                          “Where you are, right here and now, this is how bad stories end.  But it’s also how the best stories, begin.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                            “Forget about your lists and do what you can because that’s all you can do.  Phone up the people you miss and tell them you love them.  Hug those close to you as hard as you can.  Because you are always only a drunk driver’s stupidity, a nervous shopkeeper’s mistake, a doctor’s best attempts and an old age away from forever.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                                    “Oh shut up.  Every time it rains, it stops raining.  Every time you hurt, you heal.  After darkness, there is always light and you get reminded of this every morning but still you choose to believe that the night will last forever.  Nothing lasts forever.  Not the good or the bad.  So you might as well smile while you’re here.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You
