It has become apparent to me that without gifts and talent, it is hard to be successful in this world. Sure, its more about who you know when it comes to getting your foot in the door with dream jobs, but it is a person's talents that keeps them there. Last night, I was thinking about talents and the gifts that I have been blessed with. And then I started thinking about how I am not using those talents to the best of my ability.
I feel like I have to be good at a lot of things; being a wife, a student, a daughter, a member of the LDS church, a human being. I don't want to disappoint anyone and that is especially true for myself. I hate to disappoint myself, to not measure up to what I feel I am capable of. And as I thought about the talents I have been given, I felt a little disappointed. In the past few months, and even past few years of college, I have let some of my talents take a back seat.
Singing being one of the most prominent.
Singing used to be such a huge part of my life and now I don't even mention singing in my top hobbies! Don't get me wrong, the steering wheel of my car has heard her fair share of lyrics and Ryan Lovingly (i hope) calls me his canary. But when it comes to sharing my talent with others, I have become mute, never volunteering for choirs or sharing my talent to help others. I have thought about this a lot in the past few hours thinking of ways that I can expand my talents to help others and honestly, I dont know how improving my talent of singing with help anyone. But I had a feeling that I need to continue to strive to be the best version of myself and develop the talents I have been given.
So bring it on.
I just hope those talents that have cob webs and stuck joints will be easy to unearth. But then again, anything that is too easy isn't worth working for... right?
