“Discover Your Gifts,” New Era, January 2016, 6–7

It seems everybody always says, “If you only knew how great you are.” Well, the truth is, sometimes you just don’t know how great you are. When we don’t feel like the smartest, the nicest, the best looking, the funniest, or the most talented, our self-assurance seems to disappear. But think about this: we are all sons and daughters of Heavenly Father. As such, He has given us unique gifts and talents to help us fulfill our divine potential. As we discover these gifts, we are reminded of our divine worth as His children, and we are able to draw closer to Him and help others do the same. Discover Your Gifts Here are nine ideas to help you discover some of your not-so-obvious gifts. Ask others to let you know. Sometimes we don’t see in ourselves what others can see in us. Ask a friend, relative, or Church leader to write you a note about a gift or talent they see in you. Look for gifts in adversity. During hard times we can choose between letting our best qualities or our worst qualities come out. When times are tough, focus on discovering and using your best qualities and gifts. Pray for the help to recognize your gifts. Heavenly Father knows our divine potential. If we have a difficult time seeing that in ourselves, He can help. You can pray for help to recognize your gifts. Don’t be afraid to branch out. Do we only develop the gifts that we already know we have because we’re too afraid to do something we haven’t done before? Now’s the time to try something new and discover unknown gifts. Search the word of God. Heavenly Father helps us discover and develop our gifts through clues found in the scriptures—usually through invitations to act. Take this scripture for example: “Cease to contend one with another; cease to speak evil one of another” (D&C 136:23). What gifts could you develop from this invitation? The gift of speaking kind words, the gift to calm others, the gift of restraint, and more. And that’s just from one verse! Look outside yourself. Sometimes our best qualities come out when we’re not focusing on ourselves but focusing instead on how we can work with and help others. When we do that, we’ll see that we have many Christlike gifts. Think about people you look up to. Who are some of your role models? You can make a list of all of the gifts your role models have and, instead of focusing on which gifts you don’t have in common, celebrate discovering the ones you do. Reflect on your family. What gifts do you have that your siblings, parents, or grandparents have too? Go further! Research family history, discover stories, and identify even more gifts you share with your family. Receive and study your patriarchal blessing. Your blessing could talk about gifts you have and should develop, and it could also point you to the path that will lead to the discovery of other new gifts and talents.

How many guys should a girl sleep with in her life?

The research comes from trusted source Illicit Encounters, a dating site for married people which found that the ideal number of sexual partners in a life-time is twelve. The research found 40 per cent of men and 49 per cent of women thought that between 10 and 14 partners is best, with 12 being "perfect."

When it comes to something as personal and subjective as your number of previous partners, surely there couldn't be one number that applies to all of us? WRONG, according to a study which has put an exact number on how many trysts we should be amounting. (A pox on you if you don't match this number.)

The research comes from trusted source Illicit Encounters, a dating site for married people which found that the ideal number of sexual partners in a life-time is twelve. The research found 40 per cent of men and 49 per cent of women thought that between 10 and 14 partners is best, with 12 being "perfect." Apparently this random number which signifies nothing apart from the gap between 11 and 13 actually means someone is "sexually adventurous, liberal and transient", according to a majority of both men and women surveyed. It's bad news if you are one of the many many numbers above or below twelve as, "70 per cent of men and 66 per cent of women say having less than 10 partners indicates "sexual inexperience and a lack of adventure in the bedroom". Having more than 19 indicates "someone is too eager to jump from partner to partner, or simply too selfish and very difficult to please.'" A spokesperson for the illicit affairs site Christian Grant, commented: "We are more liberal, tolerant and sexually adventurous than we've ever been, so the numbers game matters. A good sexual connection is the cornerstone of any solid relationship, so someone who is lacking in sexual experience, is a little too conservative between the sheets, or both, is a legitimate cause for concern for some people."

So now you know.
