I grew up asking myself some questions, some of which I was able to provide answer to and as for others I was unable to provide answers to them. Unfortunately for me, WHETHER OR NOT EVERYONE HAS A TALENT was among the questions I couldn't give an answer to.
Before you point out that I didn't seek for answers, believe me I did but I was not convinced by the answers I got. Many couldn't even justify their stance. Before I decided to write on this and share it, I took my time to ask few persons this same question. Well, many said yes but problem arise when I ask, if yes, what is your talent? It took me time to get a genuine answer to this question and I thank God for wisdom.
It is generally accepted that talent is a natural ability or skill. Before I move on, I should say this, I agree to the above definition of what talent is, but often times many believe that for one to be counted as being talented, one must have an ability which one must not necessarily have to develop. Also, we have narrowed what talent is to football, music, dance, comedy and few others. Many believe that if your ability is not among the above mentioned you are not talented.

Your talent is that thing you feel you are born to do, be it in the academic field, engineering field or otherwise. It is that thing you love, that you have passion for. Your talent is that thing in you that will develop when you put in little effort. Your talent is that thing you want to live for. It is that which men cannot take away from you. It is like your life wire. It can’t be stolen. DO YOU HAVE A TALENT?
YES, YOU DO HAVE A TALENT. When a man creates something, he creates it to the best of his knowledge. The one that created you is extraordinary, so it in not possible that you are ordinary, you are extraordinary, it is your nature. The person that created you is supreme, so it is not possible that he left you empty, there is something supreme in you. Talent is inherent in every man. Even in the scripture when Christ likened the kingdom of God, he said, ‘to some he gave three, to another two and to another one’. NO MAN IS LEFT WITHOUT A TALENT; NO MAN IS CREATED WITHOUT SOMETHING SPECIAL.
Man by nature is permitted to have more than one talent but no man was permitted to have none because no man was created empty.
It is all about the amount of discovery you have done on yourself. Listen to this, Nigeria has a nation has been in existence since 1904. She is blessed as a nation with many natural resources, but she did not discover crude oil until 1971. Crude oil has been in existence before then, but she only discovered it in that year.
What am I saying? How much discovery have you done on yourself? You have to focus on yourself to know what make you different; you have to focus on you to know what makes you unique. Make a discovery on yourself. Crude oil is not found on the surface of the soil, it is beneath the soil or sea. Your uniqueness might not be on the surface, it might be beneath, deep inside of you. Not all talent is on the surface. You are not empty. Many a time, that which is beneath, that which is hidden is greater than that which is on the surface. What makes Gold to be Gold is beneath, diamond is beneath, and crude oil is beneath. That thing that makes you the best is not on the surface. It is beneath.
YOU ARE NOT EMPTY, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF DISCOVERY YOU HAVE MADE ON YOURSELF. Don’t overlook any capabilities, when you find it, it may be dirty, it may be rough, and it may not smell pleasant. Crude oil does not smell pleasant; gold was not in that form when it was found. It is all about transformation; it is all about polishing that thing that makes you different.
