“Each one of us is born with a set of talents.”
Your opinion towards this statement is mainly influenced
by whether or not you have been able to identify your own talents. If you
haven’t been able to identify them yet, you may have convinced yourself you
don’t have any.
Many people exclaim, “I’m not great at anything, I don’t
have any talent!”
Talent is not a hard skill you possess, such as being a
phenomenal basketball player, or a computer wiz. No one is “born to play
basketball,” or “born to be a billionaire.” We are all good at something. Some can
write, others can sing, some can manage, and others can sell.
Talent is an innate ability you are born with, that must
be developed into strength before it is of any use.
This can be done through conscious choice. Once talent
has been transformed into strength, the results are mind blowing. You’ll begin
to realize you are truly capable of great things.
Napoleon
Hill introduced the concept of a major definite purpose in his classic, Think
and Grow Rich. Where he emphasized that our major definite purpose represents
the main or central mission of our life. It is what we would call our life's
work. It attempts to answer the questions "why am I here?" and
"what am I going to do with the rest of my life?"
Our major definite purpose often lies at the intersection of our passion, our talents and abilities, and our interests.
Our major definite purpose often lies at the intersection of our passion, our talents and abilities, and our interests.
When
we understand what we are interested in and what we are good at, we discover
our major definite purpose.
Nurture your gifts. Always make space in
your day to nurture your gifts. Do you enjoy languages? Spend time studying one
each day. Are you a natural writer? Do some writing. When you take the time to
use your talents they get stronger.
Having talent isn’t enough. We must consciously develop
each one of our talents into strengths.
All of us are capable of truly remarkable things when we do this.
