I have sat down countless number of times and thought about this. I feel I don't have any talent. There are some things I often get passionate about , but after some period of time the whole vibe and impetus gradually die off. Nairalanders, have you ever been in such a situation? How were you able to discover your talent(s)? Is it necessary your choice of career path has to match with your talent? Please your comments can save a life


P.S

This is a preamble of a much more complex problem(dilemma) in my life which I will share subsequently here.

Talent is an illusion. What do you enjoy doing?

Wand who says u can't live without having a talent.

when I was younger, I enjoyed dismantling electrical appliances, and figuring out they worked. I was curious about physics and science. now, the whole vibe has reduced,and when i got older I think I became more of a 'Jack of all trades person'. I feel I am just that young smart guy who has a lot of dreams, but hasn't yet figured out what he really wants to become in Life. I feel I am not living life. I feel I am without a purpose.

My brother,talent is important.But you must understand that talent is a part of a whole in the human purpose for life.a person could have the talent of oratory;but that does not mean that his purpose is to be a public speaker.God might give him that talent because God's purpose for his life is to be a pastor.you could have a talent of teaching,but that does not mean Gods purpose for you is to be a lecturer;at the same time,his purpose for you might simply be to be a teacher of the bible. "Now you can see the mystery"what you should do is to be a friend with God,and pray to him to show you "who you are and your purpose in life" like joseph saw that people were to bow down to him in future:he would show you yours too. Fortunately,"the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose"

Jack of all trade does the magic. Put your hand into a lot of things and one day you will figure out what your talent is then work towards it.
