I totally agree with you on this pointof view. In my oppinion, it is impossible to. Still, one can live conscious or inconscious his talent behind his deeds in life. This is the matter of self understanding and partly honesty to your-self. Sometimes it is just seems to be hard to tell yourself true about your talents, purpose of life and your attitute to yourself and other people. But, that is another topic to discuss:)

Well, it seems indeed difficult, it's like looking into the future and seeing who you will become once you have developed your talents... who isn't scared of that? If you aren't, please share your secret share your thoughts anyway... how are you discovering your talents? I feel like I am on my way discovering mine as so far the process seems neither easy nor effortless

Well, one simple way to discover talents I know is just trying different activities, getting your wins there and looking at them.

Talent - it's when you do not afraid to show what you really are. talented people are talented in all what they do (or most of what they do).

To rephrase famous poet, talent is the recovery of childhood at will. Meaning kids are very openminded and open in general, and they don't care what other people think, so they are eager to show what they can do, they don't know the limits yet. Which makes them invent things and do things that they like to do. And this is talent - when you do something you like and usually if you like it then you do it very well

As very talented person myself, I think that it's a myth. Either it doesn't
exist or we all have it. As they say: talent is 10% of success (or so),
remaining part is work.

On a side note, your desire to do something has nothing to do with talent,
IMHO. Also, the amount of effort required strongly depends on desire. As wise
Chinese monk once said: if you want to become a master you'll need 15 years,
but if you really want it, you'll need 30 years.

And to finish this motivational speech, I would suggest to stop caring about
talent (or lack thereof). It's passion, perseverance etc. that win after all.

Even though I have found my ambicion, I'm not so sure about my own talents. But - The thing I have found most comforting is the power of will: I can do what ever I believe I can. I don't need talent to become skilled.
