How To Unlock Your Talent And Greatness

Some people are born with natural talent, while others must work day in and day out to achieve theirs. We can easily see it in another people, we can recognize their talents, encourage them to take action, to go for their dreams and passion.
Most of us won't have problem identifying what's amazing about the people we care about, or even complete strangers, we'll admire them, look up to them or even becoming their fans. 

Somehow when we're looking around us, fuming gifted people with their awesome talent will leave us into a question. How can we do well like them, how to be great at something, how can greatness be achieved?

We were taught from a young age, about talent, that God has gifted us our own unique talents and it's up to us to find it, grow it, and use it. Since all our specialty are unique, we can't follow others on what they're doing. We could be doing the same job but we surely don't do it the same way they're doing it.

In our society, recognizing and admitting our own talent were often treated as an act of arrogance since we have been taught from childhood to be humble, and it's not polite to just go up and say "I'm good at this" , leaving us to deny our own talents, our own greatness. 

But there's a big difference between recognizing your talent and bragging about them. 

Arrogance in fact is when you believe you're better than all of them, you believe you had surpassed everyone that they couldn't surpass you anymore. But recognizing is when you know you are awesome, so as everyone. You're willing to work and improve with them.

Although each person must find his/her personal talent or greatness, there is a key to help us find it.

Persistence

Some days we'll want to quit. We'll feel pain, low self-esteem. Those time will really suck. Those time will and could take so much out of you when you're consistently working towards your goals and not reaching them. Well, instead of giving up and throw everything away, why not celebrate, look back and see how far you've got, count every small achievements you've got, 

Everyone told us to learn from our failures, but why not learn from our successes? learn from the step you took, to made that success happen.

Willingness To Fail

Why are you here? why are we here? It took a very long journey, full of trials and challenge, for us to simply think that we won't be best at anything. But instead, I'm telling you it's truly notable if you can willingly give it your all, even if you know you may fail or won't be best.

Define what you are doing, and why you are doing it. Remind your self, every single day that today you may fail, you may get discouraged, but after that failures you'll stand up and continue to try even if it's painful and uncomfortable. But you surely will learn something, whether you fail or you succeed.

Don't quit. You'll never know what you could've been.

Vulnerability

Each time we go through challenge and experience with our vulnerable selves, we leave the door open to opportunity. Closed minds create small results, but open minds create endless possibilities.

We always convince ourselves that pain is unbearable and we should never feel it. We're inside a ball which is our comfort zones, and neither good or bad things could come inside it. So I'm telling you to break it. Accept things, good or bad it'll always be worth it.

Belief

It's a crucial step toward being your own version of awesome is to identify your goals. You should be realistic in this process. These goals should be the one you actually believe you can achieve. Goals don't guarantee success but it could create a focal point for you to set your beacon or checkpoint.

Once you've set your goals, no matter how small it is, you'll have to start preparing for the journey to achieve this goal.

Believe in yourself. Easy to say, not easy to do. In fact it is the hardest thing to do towards impressing and inspiring yourself.

Welcome The Greatness 

Fame, glory, money, successes, etc, won't make you great and awesome all of these are just side dishes towards finding your fulfillment, to make you feel whole and happy. 

Greatness is about finding yourself and being able to pour your heart into something you love with acceptance that you might fail and belief that you will stand up again.
