We were all born with over 500 talents and abilities in us. It
is up to us to discover and develop them.
Talent is completely overrated. Talent is discovered and developed! There is not such thing as those that are born talented. We are all born with incredible potential.
It is up to us to discover and develop our potential. Early in life, our parents, teachers, and coaches play a key role in helping us discover our talents and abilities. Then, it is up to us to put the effort in to realize our potential.
I love the two letters saying “if it is up to be it is up to me.” It is up to each of us to
discover what makes each of us unique.
It is in our uniqueness that we find our greatness.
Take the time to discover who you really are. It takes courage
to go on that inward journey to find out why you are here on this earth.
Here are some questions for you to answer. The answers will
reveal who you are and what makes you unique. Before you do, switch to silence
or even solitude mode, so you can hear that quiet inner voice inside you, the
voice of greatness.
1.
What is your calling?
See yesterday’s blog.
2.
What is your purpose and mission in life? What are you passionate about? What can you be best at?
What drives your economic engine?
3.
What is that cause buried deep in your heart? What are the things you care about?
4.
What is your story? What
makes you come alive?
5.
What were the turning points in your life? What are the significant landmarks in your life?
6.
What are your unique talents and abilities? What seems natural to you?
7.
What are the roles that only you can perform? What gives you energy and joy?
We only truly find our greatness after losing ourselves by applying and our talents and abilities for the benefit of others.
Be blessed and be a blessing to others!
