Gifts And Talents

We live in the age where we are constantly judging ourselves and judging others . Comparing our talent to others. And even in some cases not realising that we actually have talent and gifts, natural abilities to do something with ease that others find difficult to do.

Each of us have something that we are good at. For some the very thought that we process a special gift gives us tremors. We don’t recognise that we are all unique individuals with something within us that we could share with the world. We are so busy worrying about social media profiles that we overlook our inner talents.

Do you know what your inner talent is? Your inner talent is a skill that comes to you naturally, you don‘t even need to think about doing it, it’s almost like breathing. Most of us focus on the negative aspects of our lives. How many of us can say that we are aware of our talents / gifts and work on it daily ?

If you are unaware of your talents or you don‘t really give much thought to the subject perhaps today is your starting point. Think about all the things that you are good at, perhaps friends or family members tell you that you are good at something. Think back to your childhood, what did you enjoy doing? What were you naturally good at ? What gave you joy?

Some of us have hidden talents, skills and abilities that we didn’t even know we possessed. They are secret talents waiting to be discovered. Sometimes we need others to see in us what we can not see in ourselves.

Many of our strengths and talents remain hidden due to our responsibilities. We focus on the necessities in life and what is required from us to provide for our families, this can lead to us feeling overwhelmed in life, that we have no choices and that our lives lack purpose.

We are so caught up in what pays the most for our time that we lose what actually makes us happy. What fulfills us, what creates joy in our lives. Perhaps now is the time to re evaluate and look within to remember what we enjoy doing rather than what we feel we have to do to create a lifestyle for our families. We need to value our lives and live them not merely exist in them.

We get on that hamster wheel and time goes by so fat that we lose sight of what we are trying to achieve. Surely life should not be the cycle of Birth - School - Work - Retire - Death we are here for so much more.

Our talents, skills and natural abilities are the key to the future that we desire even if it is subconsciously. Perhaps its time to reflect and review what is important to us and set goals to achieve it.
