About This Quote
Each one of us is endowed with specific sacred-skill, to help us get through our lives. Sacred skills are special abilities that we are born with, which allow us to get through life in a way that is both difficult and occasionally painful. Some people have difficultly getting their bodies to work right or people whose defective blood makes them prone to disease or death. Other people may have difficultly getting themselves together mentally or having difficulty learning the things they need to know for life. But everyone has these challenges and it is these skills that make all of us capable of dealing with them.
