How Can You Discover Your Talent And Purpose In Life?

Discover your talent and life's purpose

How can you discover your talent and purpose in life?

Your talent is God's gift to you, what you do with is your gift back to God. Use your talent as a vehicle in your life, fuel it up with passion where potential is your destination.

The answer to the above question is surely not simple. Let me try to present what I have learned, know, and understand. My advice is:

1.     You have to keep trying, you will never know if you do not try.

2.     Look inwards, asking for advice is good, but listen to your heart and mind. Ignite your talent with primal cues.

3.     If you 'do' (hustle) something, it may or may not click, it may be terrible in the beginning. so, discover what really matters.

4.     Improve on it. Unwrap the gift and unleash the talent, you will see your life's purpose.

No one will lay the path in front of you. It is good if you feel lost sometimes. Go out and get what you want. Nothing is instantaneous, it is about getting a feedback and improving (action), constantly.

You can't just 'think' your way into finding your life's purpose; you have to 'do' your way into it. You must hustle. Look into your heart, listen to it and you will find the true purpose and passion.

Discovering talent + Hustle (Action) + Passion = Life's purpose

It is simple. Discover your talent, nurture it and then apply it in your life. Make your life meaningful.

Write your life's purpose (mission)
When you write your life's mission, here are three questions to help you:

• What do you want to do?
• Who do you want to help?
• What value will you create?
