You have a hardwiring from God, and it’s a beautiful hardwiring. And if you can discover what that is, that points to the reason you’re here. ~ Bill Hendricks

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
Before you’re a mother, before you’re a wife, before you’re a daughter, before you’re even an employee, you’re a person. And that core personhood is where your identity resides. ~Bill Hendricks
For every kind of giftedness that we have seen, there is a negative label out there. Probably 90% of the people that come my way have been shamed at some level for the very thing which is their greatest asset. ~ Bill Hendricks
I love how Jesus was always about telling people about their inherent identity. ~ Susie Davis
Try to encourage the child in their bent, and then see what opportunities open up. The child then knows that they’re valued, they’re loved, their parents are on their team, even if they would have done things differently. ~ Bill Hendricks
When you use your motivation, your giftedness, the telltale sign is that you gain energy from that activity. You enjoy the process. ~ Bill Hendricks
