Each one of us has been given some form of talent—but the real question is, are we putting it to use? It doesn’t matter if it feels small or insignificant, or even if you think you’ve got less than others. What matters is that you use what you’ve been given. Not later. Not when it feels perfect. Now. In fact, not only is it important—you’re called to.

In this episode, we turn to one of the oldest and most powerful stories we’ve ever shared: The Parable of the Talents. This ancient teaching is a clear reminder that our gifts—whatever they may be—aren’t meant to sit idle. When we use them, something amazing happens: they grow. They multiply. We become entrusted with even more. But when we hide them away, when we let fear, comparison, or doubt convince us not to act—those very gifts begin to fade.

So, what will you do with what you’ve been given?

What can an old German fairy tale teach us about reaching our goals? Turns out—quite a bit. In this episode, we dive into The Poor Miller’s Boy and the Cat, a charming yet profound story about perseverance, trust, and unexpected rewards. It follows a young apprentice who sets off on a journey, not armed with wealth or talent, but with patience, kindness, and a willingness to stick with the process. His story is a great reminder that success isn’t about having special skills—it’s about staying committed, showing up, and believing in the path ahead. So, if you've ever doubted whether you have "what it takes" to achieve your goals, this one's for you.
