Every time I ask a group of people about natural gifts and talents, I find that each group has a massive percentage of those who believe that they are not gifted.

This is because they do think that gifts and talents are only for those that stand out in sports, speaking, entertainment and academics. Nothing can be further from the truth.

In this episode, we let you in on some of those that are not so obvious, but they are gifts in their own right and they need careful attention and growth. Listen to this.

If I put something in a gadget, I expect that gadget to be optimally used by exploiting the features that I built in it. You don't buy a TV set for decorating your house primarily, even though it can work that way.

That is the same thing with our natural gifts and talents. They are not there for decoration. They are there to primarily be used so we can operate as optimally as possible.

If you wanted to nurture those natural gifts and talents, there are some things that you need to do. Here are 9 of them in summary, and the tenth fully explained.

Growth and development of gifts and talents is not linear. It is not assured unless it is intentional. There are several things that you can do to make sure that your gifts and talents are developed.

The greatest omission in the world today is the development of gifts and talents. For some reason, and I do not know why, we have not created an environment on earth where these can flourish.

We somehow have our own "priorities". However, if you know how critical the gifts and talents you have been given are, whether spiritual or natural, you will want to move heaven and earth to develop them.

Some of the answers we are seeking in life from elsewhere are right within us, with our gifts and talents. There are several things you can do to grow your talents. This is just one of them. Listen to this.

I cannot over-emphasize the power of gifts and talents. I do believe that there is nobody God made that is not gifted in one way or another.

The biggest mistake we make is to think that the gifted are only those with an ability in sports, entertainment or other facets that are obvious. Nothing can be further from the truth.

I think it is a great responsibility that all of us have to make sure that what we have been bequeathed with in terms of gifts and talents must be developed to the core. Here is one more way to develop them. Listen to this.
