How our talents may help us in settling our directions

I believe by this time everyone already had a thought of creating something by themselves, opening up their own business etc. However, when it comes to the idea of a new venture itself, we start questioning ourselves: What am I good at? What do I actually want to do?... Seems to be like high school feeling when you have to decide what high education you should choose for reaching your "dream-job". What is actually this dream-job all about? Well, definitely some people have in their minds a beautiful picture what is their dream-job. What about the rest? Do we all really find what we like or what brings to us a lot of inspiration and joy?


In my point of view we just forgot that everyone has a talent. More likely a lot of talents rather than none. When you know what you are good at, what you are really enjoying, that can always grow into a beautiful blossoming flower. We always need a good start, good basement, then we will definitely see the right direction to move forward.


If those questions that are mentioned above somehow touched you and you didn't find yet what you are good at the most, here is some tips how to find your hidden talent.


1. Do what you love to do... As simply as it is))) The best way to discover a hidden talent is to think about what you love to do. What you are good at you always enjoy the most. That joy can spread around and bring out something new from us!


2. Break the walls of your comfort zone. Try completely new things for yourself. Go for new explorations and find the joy where it was not so good for you before. Break out of your comfort zone and you might be surprised what gets waked up in you.


3. Let's go back to the childhood;) We used to enjoy life from different perspective. Start by reflecting on your childhood and remembering what activities TRULY gave you joy and satisfaction. It is important to remember what you imagined when you were alone, and therefore un-influenced by other people, and under the age of seven when the "inner self" is more pronounced than the conscious mind and conscious ego.


4. Find what is easiest for you. Sometimes, I think our hidden talents aren’t really hidden – more like repressed or discounted and ignored. Be especially aware of what other people “see” in you that you may or may not validate or give much attention to yourself. We all think that the things we are good at
are easy, so we tend to discount their value.

5. Fix your frustration. Not the easiest thing to do though... But one of the most important! There is nothing better than having sunshine on "your" sky without interruption of clouds...)))




6. Learn how to simply enjoy the moment. You might think how it is connected to your talent discovery or entrepreneurial success... Well, our life is composed of present moments. You will never find anything tomorrow unless you will listen to yourself TODAY.  



"Our true entrepreneurial talents may be divined by the emotion sparked by engagement. Listen to your heartbeat, when it speeds our intent becomes fueled by passion which enables action. Action is the key to realizing our identified entrepreneurial talents. If the spark isn’t there, you won’t have the stamina to withstand the inevitable setbacks."
