How Do You Know If You Have Talent?

Greetings Everyone,

(you can sign up on top of the page to receive updates by email)

Do you know the feeling when you see something amazing and astonishing and your jaw drops in awe and wonder and your heart palpitates in excitement.

 As the  time you went to visit the grand canyon and the Niagara falls, as you were gazing at the falls, your mind was feverishly trying to comprehend  this great wonder of  greatness and power.  

Well I can honestly say when I finished these two books  

• The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles
• Think and Grow Rich By Napoleon Hill

While reading their words I felt their energy and the scope of their knowledge seeping through the words. I felt some kind of excitement surging through my veins somehow like I was being shared some privileged and secret information from someone that uncovered this hidden secret and was willing to share it with me.

Now this feeling overwhelmed and excited me and I started writing this blog but now after getting through the first few lines I’m at a standstill thinking to myself, what message do I want to share with you guys that is worth wasting your time reading about.

(Cough clearing my throat) well for one, I’m trying to recommend you to read these two books I think their message is strong and clear and can still change your life around even in these times and age.

But the next point that I would like to share with you is, that I realized that you can’t deny the genius that you find some people have. 

In society all through the years there are these people that are gifted with special talents, that were given to them, to share and lighten up the world and make it a better and exciting place for all the rest of us.

 But what is known but not a recognized by all, is the fact that with all the talent in the world, a lot of hard work and commitment is needed in order to reach their full potential and be appreciated by the world for all the talent they have.

Let’s take for example Napoleon Hill, while reading his book and you wonder at his greatness in defining the steps of getting rich, but one major point can be overlooked, that this book was his commitment of hard work of more than twenty years analyzing and studying the subject.

Now one more thing that a lot of average people miss out, how much talent is hidden and not revealed, and the talent shows airing these days only reinforce this point.

 Every day new talent is found in all areas of the world even between the homeless, by those searching for it, but mostly is in the entertainment sector but in all other areas of life the raw talent gets buried and forgotten.  

And now to the last but most important, and I cannot emphasis about this enough. Most of you out there if you consider yourself average, feel that your life is destined to be one of lack of happiness, lack of achievement, a life of struggle never accomplishing the most basic of your desires, lack of achieving something special.

Wattles writes in his book these wondrous words.

Chapter 13, desire is a manifestation of power. Where there is no power either developed or undeveloped to do a thing there is never any desire to do that thing, and where there is a strong desire to do a thing, it is certain proof that the power to do is strong, and only requires to be developed and applied in the right way.

If you feel any desire to accomplish any goal or achievement that is a true sign that you have the power to achieve it as well. But this power is hidden a lot of times due to a lot of reasons the most common are,

•  Lack of belief in yourself 
• Not making a plan
• Feeling unworthy 

These feelings of wanting change or the feeling that  you would like to achieve something in your life, are the signs that you are really destined for something else something better, and within you it is buried the talent and the power to achieve them, but you have to be able to bring forth the true you.

You have to be able to nurture your true self and like a little seed and plant, nurture and water and trim the leaves to slowly bring out its beauty for all to see, all this effort is especially worth and needed in order you shouldn't deprive yourself to be awed by your own beauty and greatness.

Let me recapitulate about this subject of talent,  

1.  There are natural gifted people that their talent shines out for all to see  
2.  Gifted people that their talent remains hidden from the world to see and appreciate    
3.  Gifted people that their talent is even hidden from themselves that even they don’t appreciate what they have in themselves

Whichever of these three categories you find yourself know and understand this, commit and believe in yourself, understand that you are unique and special, and start polishing yourself to add some sunshine to your surroundings, work on perfecting yourself that will make those around say wow where did this beauty and talent come from.

Well good luck to developing and growing your talent and as always I would love to hear back from you with any comments you might have, and if you enjoyed this blog please share it with your friends.

Fall and the Solution for the Average Falling Person Part 2

 Greetings Everyone 

(If you enjoy this post you can sign up on top of the page to be notified by email every time I post a new blog)

In last week’s post we discussed the struggle of the average person. To sum it up the average person is divided in two parts the mediocre and the out of focus.  You can read up on the first part of the post by following this link Fall and the falling of the average person.

Let’s get down to what seems to me as the solution

. 

The solution for the struggle of the average person is as follows,

THE MEDIOCRE= is the person who has no belief that he has the right to think big, he has no belief that he can achieve the things he desires.

"Carve the following words in stone"

A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you have believe in yourself and have the courage the determination the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice little things in life and pay for the thing that are worthwhile it can be done- Vince Lombardi 

The first step is, to observe and acknowledge if you are limiting your capability to think and dream big. 

Once you have established that you have limiting beliefs, then the next step would be to go ahead and give yourself the right to dream big.

Even if in your view you believe you aren't able to achieve the dreams or aspirations that you think about, for whatever reason your mind and frightful imagination is concocting.

But not to dream big and let your imagination grow would be like telling yourself when going to sleep at night I’m not allowed to dream any great dreams because I can’t achieve them.

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere”.

The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” Albert Einstein

Allow yourself to dream by day and let your imagination soar.

There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it, Alfred Hitchcock, if you think in to what makes life exciting, a big part of it is the anticipation of what’s coming. Don’t take away a big part of the excitement of your life by limiting and eliminating your dreaming big. 

THE OUT OF FOCUS= is the person that has goals and aspirations but they always seem to be out of his grasp.

This stumbling block can be due to a lot of reasons but a lot of them boil down to the lack of focus and thinking.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Albert Schweitzer was asked what’s wrong with men today, He answered men simply don’t think.

 A person will look all over for solutions but forget to look in his own back yard, so to speak.  When I say we don’t think I don’t mean we do no thinking at all. Yes we actually don’t stop thinking, we think while we walk, while we talk, while we eat, I don’t think there is ever a time that our mind is not racing.

Sometimes I think to myself after driving two hours in my van and having silence join me as my companion, Pinny what were you thinking the last 120 minutes? I usually come up with some lame thought, nothing that would account for the valuable time spent.

 We are not thinking constructively with a positive attitude to finding a solution. We are not thinking in a systematic constructive way, going over all the details and options. Taking ideas and chewing them over and considering how best to implement them.

As Wallace Wattles writes in his book The Science of Getting Rich, there is no labor from which people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world.

The first step is;

Get used to the idea that you make a special time to focus on yourself and on what you're spending your time on. Think to yourself is there anything I can do better and how can I do better.

Make time to sit down and think positively and constructively about you goals, write them down and think what would be the steps needed to reach them.

Instead of jumping in and taking every challenge as it comes along try to anticipate them and think of ways of avoiding them.

By planning ahead you will not only plan your future, but you may be able to for see the road blocks and challenges up ahead and can invest time and effort to search for answers and solutions for the challenge before it reaches you.

I would like to share a thinking and planning technique called Mind Mapping, created by Tony Buzan. I recently starting using mind mapping in all my projects and I love it.

 Here is a short clip how I explain, how the basic use of mind mapping can help you focus on your goals.

I hope you  enjoyed this post and can use it towards your success and please share it with your friends.
