Steps To Determine Your Hidden Treasures Given To You By God.

 


God created us all with special gifts and talents hidden in us. The problem most of us face is that, we do not realize such potentials and these potential dies-out ultimately without been utilized.
Most human beings take pleasure in doing things that not only brings them emolument but also happiness and recognition. I also  believe that everyone has hidden talents that are not yet discovered. Before you answer the question of what is your hidden talent, First answer this question. What do you enjoy doing most? and also what makes you happy. After discovering what you enjoy doing most and what makes you happy, you are steps away from unearthing these hidden talents.

Therefore it is essential to develop and act upon this potential to reach the hidden treasure that lies within, regardless of obstacles, setbacks, mistakes,disappointments you may encounter. We have a duty to add to the world the fullness of our gifts, and not rob it of the solutions that only each of us individually can provide!

Here Are Some Steps You Will Need To Follow To Unearth Your Burden Talents Courtesy Wiki How
 
1. Think about what you love to do. What do you usually enjoy doing, without being asked? What do you seem to be naturally good at? On what do you focus best or most
enthusiastically? What must you be dragged away from doing?

2. Play . Whatever that means to you, let yourself do it. It's not just for children. Experiment, explore, investigate. Try doing different things and entertain different activities. Even try on different
personalities. Give yourself a safe environment for your explorations, one in which you feel free to explore and try different things without the creative inhibition that tells you you might be "wrong". That could be as simple as practicing something alone, with nobody or only a trusted friend looking on. If nobody has to read your practice writing or watches your early attempts at dancing or looks at the notebook where you worked out the details of your latest invention, you won't have to worry about what they think of it.

3. Try taking some personality tests. They can offer insights into the way that you think. These sorts of tests do not identify talents in and of themselves, but they can lend insights that might provide part of the puzzle.

4. Learn about your learning style. You can find online quizzes for that, too. Major learning styles are visual, auditory, reading/ writing, and tactile/kin-esthetic.

5. Notice what people tell you about yourself. Do they notice that you light up when you explain something? Does everybody seem to compliment you on your writing?  Your physical coordination?

6. Consider your interests . What sorts of things do you like to read about, write about, or talk about? What shows do you watch on television? What magazine and newspaper articles catch your eye?

7. Notice what you're not good at, also. What seems always to be a struggle? What makes you feel awkward or out of place? For instance, some people are great talkers but hate writing; for others, it's the other way around. That's not to say you can't develop skills and strategies in areas that are not your forte and can work on developing such weakness.

8. Keep a journal or notebook of some sort. It doesn't have to be fancy or formal. You could keep it on the computer or even use voice recordings, if you prefer. Free-writing from time to time is one good way to get at what's on your mind. If writing isn't for you, try drawing pictures, "mind-mapping", or making notes some other way that suits you. Regardless of the method, capture your thoughts now and then. It can help you to spot patterns and themes within your life.

9. Practice . Once you find something you love to do, do more of it. You will improve your skills and refine your technique this way.
You will also discover the depths of your talent, whether it was more a passing phase. Even if the interest turns out to be temporary, you may notice what interested you the most and work on that to improve it.

10. Share your talent with others. It's okay to practice by yourself, but at some point, you should nurture your talent by finding a teacher, even if it's just somebody else with more experience at something who can give you advice. Having an audience (even a small one) is, in many cases, equally important.

11. Use your talent . Make the world a better place, or just show off. Consider making a career of it, or just a hobby . Or if you just want to make it useful just for yourself.

Dr. Munroe states: Everything in life was created with potential and possesses the potential principle. In every seed there is a tree… in every bird a flock… in every fish a school… in every cow a herd… in every boy a man… in every girl a woman… in every nation a generation. Tragedy strikes when a tree dies in a seed, a man in a boy, a woman in a girl, an idea in a mind. For untold millions, visions die unseen, songs die unsung, plans die unexecuted and futures die buried in the past. The problems of our world go not answered because potential remains buried. Therefore let us dig up and discover our hidden treasures and find the wealth of our potential!

Use Courage Instead Of Fear!

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill - Former UK Prime Minister (1874-1965)

Courage is the ability and willingness to confront fear , pain , danger , uncertainty, or intimidation. [ Wikipedia ]

A research I conducted showed that, most successful entrepreneurs and inventor noted that they will see failure in their massive project undertaking. The inventors and entrepreneurs viewed the possibility of failure with an undaunted attitude because the chance of failure was high as well as expected.

Think of Bill Gates: Gates didn’t seem like a shoe-in for success after dropping out of Harvard and
starting a failed first business with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen called Traf-O-Data. While this early idea didn’t work, Gates’ later work did, creating the global empire that is Microsoft.

Also, Walt Disney the brain behind today's Disney rakes in billions from merchandise, movies and theme parks around the world, but Walt Disney himself had a bit of a rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor because, “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” After that, Disney started a number of businesses that didn’t last too long and ended with bankruptcy and failure. He kept plugging along, however, and eventually found a recipe for success that worked.

Now Albert Einstein one of the most brilliant minds that ever lived also had his fair share of failure, Most of us take Einstein’s name as synonymous with genius, but he didn’t always show such promise. Einstein did not speak until he was four and did not read until he was seven, causing his teachers and parents to think he was mentally handicapped, slow and anti-social. Eventually, he was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. It might have taken him a bit longer, but most people would agree that he caught on pretty well in the end, winning the Nobel Prize and changing the face of modern physics.

Knowing there was a high probability for failure, these successful entrepreneurs/inventors all had something in common, the will to succeed,they therefore reduced the emotional discouragement and were all able to focus faster on problem solving.
 

INSIGHT
The key factor in this scenario is an equally undaunted attitude brimming over with courage. Can we recognize failure as a stepping stone, get past the emotions and allow an undaunted courage to propel us ahead? Remember . . . No matter the circumstance, courage counts!

Deuteronomy 31:6 says Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Always be willing to take that step of faith and move from your comfort zone to your faith zone and as God has promised us, we shall Surely succeed, the word surely means it will definitely happen and come alive.
If you are going to walk on sea water then be prepared to get out of the boat.
