How Can You Recognize Your Talent?

It’s a pretty common question. Afterall we are often blind to our talent, because what comes easy to you (ahem – your talent) you think comes easy to everyone else. With that the vicious ‘I have no talent’ cycle begins.

So to break out of that cycle of being blinded to your own talent simply do this self evaluation:

1. Identify the things that you enjoy doing most.

2. Next, identify of those things you enjoy doing most, the ones that you can do with the most ease.

3. Finally, of the things you enjoying doing AND you do with ease, circle the ones that your friends and acquaintances tell you is hard to do.

Those things you circled. Those are your talents. And I get it, it may be something like ‘watching TV standing’ but that’s ok. It’s still a talent. Now it’s up to you to see if you can find a vocation for your talent.
