What Talents Were You Born With?


Its so exciting!!! My first grandchild was born last week and obviously he's gorgeous!

As I was thinking about this new little man that has arrived on earth, I was wondering what natural talents and abilities are lurking in there. What personality?

I can tell you one thing, he isn't going to be a pushover. Boy does he get mad!!

I cant help but think about how we are all born as unique individuals with an amazing amount of potential. All it needs is nuturing for it to develop into the full potential that was designed for us.

This is my soap box really. It pains me to hear so many times, from so many people, that they have never stopped to think about what it is they are naturally good at. What it is that they naturally enjoy and that gives them a buzz or and energy surge. So many people just amble through life without giving it much though at all. Such a waste!!

How can you expect to live life to the fullest if you don't know what it is that you really want to do?
How can you expect to feel fulfilled if you havent even worked out what it is that gives you a sense of purpose?

It will be interesting to watch my little grandson develop and reveal his personality, just as it was with my own kids, but it is equally interesting to watch adults discover themselves as they give it some thought and time.
