how to discover and develop your talent

Developing your talent

Talent hits a target no one else can hit. “Everyone has talent. “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.” “Believe in yourself.

A Talent (or gift, or aptitude) is the skill that someone naturally has to do something that is hard. It is an ability that someone is born with.

 All leaders have their own unique talents, which they will use in different ways to bring out the best in themselves and others.

Some people discover their talent, but they cannot develop it so

easy to recognize talents in others and discount ours. Often we don’t understand why we can’t do the things our parents, siblings or friends do. Each person has an inherent set of skills and abilities.

Many times we take our talents for granted. We think because we can do something well, anyone can. Often that's not true. How can you tell when you're overlooking a skill or talent? Listen to what others say. Your strengths will capture the attention of others and draw them to you.

Here are the effective ways to develop your talent:

1. Follow Your Passion

“Your passion is the life and energy of your talentWhen you follow it, your talent grows.”

There are things you enjoy experiencing; things you enjoy watching, observing, listening to, smelling, and taking in in various ways. What are these things? Movies? Books? Sights and sounds? Interactions? Whatever they are, surround yourself with them. 

That’s how to feed your passion. Invest your resources here; it is one of the smartest ways to spend your money. 

This is an investment in yourself. As you follow you're you will discover more thing hidden inside of you, which will help you to await the giant in you to move forward with your dreams in life

2. Practice

Be determined to gain control of your talent. Many skills need repetition and may take hours, days, weeks, months and even years of practice and repetition before they’re ready.

3. Focus and Beleive on your Abilities

Your foremost ability is the servant of your talent.
As you sharpen it, your talent grows.

Sharpening the essential elements of that ability happens automatically as you use them to share your passion. However, you must deliberately work on it too through study and training. Actually, as you begin to share your passion with others using your dominant ability, you will notice serious skill deficiencies in that ability.

For instance, if you enjoy imaginations of beautiful realities and inspiring human experiences – you would want to share these imaginations – or dreams – with others. Now, say your foremost ability is writing, you would definitely need to build up your vocabulary and use of language.

This is where continuous education comes in. Go to school to get an extra education if you can afford it. Read books. Attend seminars.

4. Don’t compare yourself with others be your self

Are there people in your life who wow or even intimidate you? Are you jealous of them? Go up and introduce yourself, allow yourself to be a part of their lives, and even offer to contribute to their milieu if you are so inclined. If they have a quality you

Are charged by, perhaps you have not given yourself permission to explore and develop those sides of yourself? Consider aligning yourself with people you feel competitive toward–it’s a

new world and we have much to learn from each other.

5. Share Your Passion to grow more

When you consume your passion, you experience joy.

When you share your passion, you experience double joy or fulfillment.

Say you enjoy reading novels. The easiest way to share this passion, of course, is with people of like passion; give the novel to others in your book club to read. 

But you can also share your pleasure with others who do not like reading novels: this is actually where your ability comes in – sharing the blessings of your passion with those who do not have the same passion as you.

Play that piece, sing and the world will listen, listen and a soul will find peace, organize that group and many will benefit. 

Share your talent. You, your family, your community and the world will be a better place because you did.
