Doing easily what others find difficult is talent, doing what is impossible with talent is genius
Henri Frederic Amiel
Just so you know, every human on earth has a talent, the only reason some of us feel we don't is probably because we didn't get to discover , develop or we are just blinded by the fact that a particular thing we find joy doing easily may actually be our talent.
There is a common saying that the world most talent are buried in the grave because a lot of people die without discovering theirs.
Some years back, if someone had asked me what my talent was, I would have listed singing, which i still do, occasionally now though , solving maths, yea I love mathematics and i find it easy to solve questions most people especially my gender complain of, physics too, i was actually the shining light in my department that year, they all come easily to me.
The talent I will mostly be writing about is the one I discovered in adulthood which if you've checked my profile, you would see it written boldly there which is fashion designing, i discovered this talent of mine 2 years ago, early 2020 right before the covid lockdown, i was tired of my stressful job already and the lockdown opened a lot of eyes that there are more opportunities for us apart from the life we've been adapted to for long.
I decided to go learn how to make dresses, the first thing that was taught was peddling of a sewing machine which I did effortlessly, straight line, curved line circles and all was nothing to me, since i enrolled for a beginners class, they were in doubt that I wasn't a beginner, I never knew that was suppose to be a difficult task to do at first as I saw my fellow coursemates struggling to even sew a straight line, some were peddlinng and the sewing machine left them alone after much battling with it, it was funny to me because i can't remember learning how to peddle, Although my mum had a sewing machine at home and i use to see the way she does whenever she wanted to mend our dresses as little girls then, i would have sworn that it was because my mum had a machine that was why I could peddle it, but on a second thought, my sister's can't peddle a sewing machine even though we had it at home, it was mum's property and none of us were interested in learning how to sew , so you see. It's definitely an inborn talent, in subsequent learning stages, from pattern drafting to cutting, joining,
everything was easy for me as I had already fell in love with sewing as if it was a part of me I covered for long, for those that have toiled that part, they know that fashion designing is not an easy skill to learn, being a natural in it, developing it made me much more better in it that in less than 6 month, i started earning from it even at the comfort of my home, finding clients was easy, they just saw what I made for someone and asked for a referral, it has brought me so much Joy discovering this talent of mine, which lead me to conclude by saying,
Sometimes your talent just need discovering and developing, learn that new skill you want to, it's never too late and you are never too old to learn either.
