I wanted to gift it so it could help loads of people. And I wanted it to be a genuine gift—which, by definition, has to be given freely and without strings—so I didn’t even want them to have to sign up to get access to the information I planned to share. I sat up a little straighter and put on my thinking cap.

If you ignore or deny the compliment you are really replying, “Please accept my graceless stomping upon of your gift to me.” There will always be people in your life who will recognize your gifts and want to honor you with a compliment. Thanks for the gift! You have a gift of wisdom, and expressing it.

I understand that with experience and expertise comes an often nearly instant recognition of what will and won’t fit the bill, but with that gift often comes the droning of doing the same thing even in areas of life where there is no experience, much less expertise. Maybe your immediate thought was, “Nah… that won’t work!”

I think that instead of wondering if it would be appreciated and stepping back from the share, you should step into your expertise and give her the gift of that. Either way, you’ve not shut down your gift (there’s just one you, and it’s important for you to be willing to share yourself!!), Is it ok if I share those with you?”.

That’s the gift of truth I take with me into my 50th year. So far, this decade is such a slice of awesomeness—just as the one before it was. And I change what is—I "subvert" what is, to make it better for myself, and often, for others.

Not sharing deprives that person of a gift—which might be a gift of clarity, or a gift of hope, or a gift of love, or a gift of many other types. And you need to do that because there will be someone listening who needs to hear what you share. The point is, share everything you have.”.

If you''re growing, the best gift you can give yourself is the gift of ease. But step away from the docs, do a lot of diverse work for a variety of people and projects, throw in some multi-tasking or an overly tight schedule, and you’ll forget the details over time (pretty quickly, actually). Things need to be easier, all the time.
