Here is the story of three people who were given a gift from God. Take note as to how they respond to the Gift.
The Parable of the Bags of Gold
Matt 25:14 "Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,[a] each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. 17 So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more. 18 But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money."

The one who had received much was thankful for the opportunity. He took his Gift and began to invest it wisely. He wanted to show his Boss how grateful he was for this Opportunity. He Doubled his bosses money.
The second person did the same thing.
The third person was paranoid and afraid he would lose the Gift. He had no confidence in his ability so he hid the Gift.
The Boss came back and accessed the situation. He Rewarded the first two by giving them more Responsibility and Leadership.
The third person was rebuked by the Boss. The Boss was expecting to at least beat inflation. So by burying his gift he was losing money. The Boss took the Gift and gave it to someone who would Appreciate it and grow it.
The third person made up excuses and listened to former employees about the Boss. The third person got caught up in Fear and Trepidation.

Let's Perform with an All In Leave Nothing Behind Attitude!
"To every person there comes in their lifetime that special moment when you are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to you and your talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds you unprepared or unqualified for work which could have been your finest hour." Winston Churchill
