Some people don't believe they have any talents and a lot of people don't really know what their talents exactly are. That sounds a bit strange because someone might think "That's not true. I know my talents. I'm a natural at snowboarding and I am great dancer!" for example. But that's not what this is about.
Let me give you a definition of
Your talents are in you, they are a part of you, always have been, and you are most probably not even aware of their exact nature and/or what to do with them.
Spend some time identifying your true talent(s), ask yourself if you display these talents regularly and try to find two or three examples. Then put them through another test by asking 5 questions: are they 1. fundamental (are they innate), 2. are they things you do with ease, 3. can you repeatedly do them with success, 4. are they something that give you pleasure without having to put a lot of effort into them, and 5. are they getting recognised by others, because talent is something seen and recognised by others through evidence.
The few talents (or even if it is only a single one, that's ok) that are left after assessing them closely are the most powerful tools you possess. Learn how to improve and use them properly because your talents won't last if they are not being used.
And you might have guessed it, on the journey of getting to know yourself (better) discovering your talents is a major step towards living a happy and successful life. Here are (only) two reasons why:
Now go and dig deep, see what you find - it's totally worth it! I've started digging and I can see the light... and lots of beautiful creatures along the way.
"The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(Can't believe I'm quoting Goethe in English.)
