    The Gift of Giving in Action

    Darrayl and Derrick Miles are exercising their Gift of Giving by donating 10% of all proceeds of the Superhuman Performance® franchise to two of their favorite charities:

    Metro Hope For Kids Project

    Orlando Magic Youth Foundation

    If you believe in helping our children reach their maximum potential; please consider a donation.

    Orlando Magic Youth Foundation

    There is no doubt that children—their dreams, their hopes and their potential—represent our future. From educational and arts programs to health programs focused on preventing childhood obesity, the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation is dedicated to nourishing the minds and bodies of children that need it most. Over the last 21 years, the OMYF has distributed more than $16 million to local non-profit community organizations.

    The OMYF raises community dollars annually through donations, auctions and events such as the Black Tie and Tennies Gala and the OMYF Open Golf Tournament. With administrative costs covered, 100% of your gift goes directly to benefit children. Plus the McCormick Foundation provides a $.50 match to make your donation go even further!

    Make your difference today by donating at omyf.org.

    Metro Hope for Kids

    Out of the pain, impoverishment and isolation of his own abandonment, Bill Wilson established Metro Ministries in 1980 in what was one of Brooklyn’s roughest neighborhoods. Over the years, he has developed a heart of compassion for suffering children everywhere. From the ghettos of America to the townships of South Africa, villages of Eastern Europe, slums of India and islands of the Philippines, he has rescued hurting children and given them hope for the future. Every week 40,000 children in these countries are being touched with love.

    With a mandate to help, I’m looking for ordinary people with extraordinary hearts who are willing to give of their time, talents and finances. I need your help to change an old, condemned hospital in Brooklyn, NY, into a community food-and-clothing pantry, as well as a place to hold after-school programs for boys and girls, mentoring programs for youth, and adult programs to help men and women who are coming out of drug addiction. Will you say yes and join a team that makes a difference?

    For more information or to give to Metro Hope For Kids, go to www.metrohopeforkids.org. Your donations will change possibilities into realities for boys and girls around the world. Thank you for being one who makes a difference in the life of a child!

    Introduction

    It is my prayer that you have had the wonderful experience of discovering the impact of the first seven gifts covered in Superhuman Performance (Administration, Craftsmanship, Discernment, Faith, Giving, Knowledge, and Writing). Superhuman Performance II helps you to understand and experience the next level. What’s the next level? I’m glad you asked! The next level is when your gift makes room for you and people begin to seek you out to give you the opportunity to utilize your gift every day, regardless of your station in life. You can be at the so-called bottom of society or in the middle of a career change, you can even feel like you were dealt a bad hand in life. But your gift will still make room for you. When it does, when you reach the next level by utilizing your gift daily, you will feel you’re leading a life of joy, fulfillment, and purpose!

    Let me give a real life example. In January, 2011, a panhandler named Ted Williams made international news when his Gift was discovered on a slow news day in Columbus, Ohio. People from all over the world were enamored with his Gift. Here was a gentleman in tattered clothing with hair that appeared to have been unkept for years. But he believed he had a Gift. His belief was so strong that while begging for change in the middle of an intersection, he held a sign that read I Have a God-Given Gift of Voice. Because of his belief, one man took notice and recorded an unprofessional video of Ted and uploaded it to YouTube. Within 48 hours of Ted’s Gift being discovered, he experienced the next level. The world began to seek him out so he could utilize his Gift daily. Ted received multiple offers for jobs and appearances on top tier-television programs. Quicken Loans even offered him a free home loan. What I would have liked to have seen in the media frenzy was the message to all people that everyone has a Gift.

    I must admit that the Man With the Golden Voice gave me more excitement for this book series. And with Superhuman Performance II, I share that excitement so you might discover your Gifts and begin working within them. For when you do, you will experience the next level. In this book, you will discover seven more Gifts: Compassion, Encouragement, Helps/Serving, Hospitality, Leadership, Teaching, and Wisdom. Some of the people I highlight include Genma Holmes, Pam Boney, Angela Johnson McGee, Elmer Towns, Keith Harrell, Pastor Sunday Adelaja, George C. Fraser, and Roger Andersen. I even give a bonus profile for Alma Rivera. Akin to the Man With the Golden Voice, several people in this book know what it is like to be disadvantaged, live in a family split because of a mothers illness, be a child walking barefoot amongst trash in a developing country, and go through the life shifts of many career changes. Each story is one of triumph! And triumph came when these individuals recognized the Gifts they had inside of themselves. My hope is that you discover your own Gift and use your Gift to ultimately serve others.

    Superhumanly yours,

    Darrayl Miles
