How can I discover my talent?
68Discovering your hidden talents
A lot of people want to do things that not only brings them money but also happiness and recognition. I believe everyone has hidden talents that are not yet discovered. Before you answer the question of what is your talent. First answer this question:
What do you enjoy doing most?
Once you answer that question, you should go on to ask yourself more questions. Some along the line of, "How can I make money doing what I love to do?". You can than research different avenues to make money off things that you love to do. Anyone can learn a skill but talents sometimes comes a bit more naturally. This does not mean that you do not have to keep practicing or working at the talent. It just means it's less work.
I personally do not have one specific talent, but can do a few things. If I were to say my talent, it would be "creating things". I am good at creating ideas and being creative. Whether through writing, art or media. More of a jack of all trade, yet a master of none. There are benefits and disadvantage of being a jack of all trades.
The benefits are that you are constantly creating, never bored, find it easy to entertain yourself and others. The drawbacks are that you are constantly moving, find it hard to finish a project and rarely succeed. So if you want to zoom in and focus on one talent, first decide which talent or skill is most rewarding and focus on that. Once you've completed a project in that talent, you can move on to a new talent and keep alternating talents.
In order to discover your talent and skills, first realize what makes you happy. Anyone can learn a skill and make it into a talent. You must practice and stay focus in order to discover and develop a talent.
What makes you happy?

I know every one has a talent or say talents. I keep discovering them as I get older.
I now get what talent I have!
Im so afraid that one day my life will be over and i will not have accomplished what i am supposed to do or why i was put here and giving the natural talents skills and gifts i have been given. i am at a point in my life where i feels its sink or swim. i havve a million ideas yet no money and no idea how to get these "dream and inspirations" off and running. i dont want money to be the focus of my life, i simply want to be the man i know i can be but at the same time provide for myself and responsibilities
I've tried different things since my pre-teens (Im on my ealy 20s now)
But i really can't seem to find my talent or at least things that Im good at, all my brothers and sister, including my parents are talented and good academic records, while Im none of those
this really depresses me all the time

I've dabbled in several trades. I'm still unskilled. At 52 I've just simply worked and never dreamed. I don't think I ever really got to know myself. I wish I knew how to find something more fullfilling than being a janitor.

I like what you have to say here. Everyone does have a talent of some sort. Many just give up instead of pressing forward.
