Chapter 2:
Discover your talent & build higher self esteem
Taking time to discover what talent you have would help a lot in enhancing the way you feel regarding yourself. Besides, it lets you love and appreciate yourself more. Every person has his or her own talent – it’s a special gift given by God. So when someone asks you about your talent, what is your answer to him or her? If you don’t know what’s your talent yet then it’s the right time for you to make a move and to find the right response to that question.
There are some things you can do to determine your hidden talent. Why don’t you explore the history of your family and find out the talents possessed by your sisters or brothers or your father or mother? Are there singers, artists or dancers in your ancestry?
Typically, a child inherits not only the appearance of his or her father or mother but he or she can also inherit the talent that either his or her father or mother has. It’s because talents have a tendency to run in a family and knowing your inherited talent can spark a brand new path to your life.
Then, try to recall those things you like the most or to where you are good at when you were just a kid. This particular stage of life is where a person is exposed to various activities or any class subjects that require a particular skill or talent. If you have put them out of your way for such a long period of time, today could be the right time for you to bring back to life your childhood talent.
Then now, you should think about the present. Think of something that is very interesting to you today. It can be a small spark of a thought. It might not be too huge at first yet it’s something that you can feel deep within your soul. Or, it can be just something you are good at. You may get a piece of piece and write down all ideas that you may desire to pursue. Focus on those things you really like.
As soon as you have found your talent, you should pursue that with dedication, determination and full willingness to show what you’ve got to the entire world. Pursue that talent with all your heart. Your talent will take you to where you can be because it will help you develop more confidence.
Your talent will change the way you value yourself. Knowing your talent lets you build higher self-esteem. So, take some time today to rediscover who you are, use your talent and be proud to show others what you can do. All your efforts will be paid and you will be few steps away from what will make you proud of yourself.
