Random Thoughts-28: "Unique Talent"

I sincerely believe that every one of us has some unique talent. Only most of us are not aware of it. So the first step is becoming aware of this and then identifying one's unique talent. Then comes nurturing it and manifesting it - Manifesting it for one's own welfare; for the welfare of one's near and dear; and also for the welfare of the society at large.

It needs nurturing because it remains just a spark. When you nurture it, it starts growing and glowing. In the light, you see your life's unique mission. Then life becomes focused and meaningful. You cut down all distractions and march towards your life's unique mission with single-minded devotion. When you attain your goal, your life becomes fulfilled. Even if you don't reach your goal, the very process of striving for it with all your mite should be satisfying and make you happy.

The greatest tragedy of life is not having this awareness. The spark flares up now and then to draw your attention to it. But if you still ignore it, it is really a pity.

Nurturing it and finally manifesting and utilizing it for your own selfish ends would be a crime.

How to identify your unique talent? Turn inward and dive deeper and deeper and deeper; you will find it. Why waste your precious time in the pursuit of limiting materialistic goals?

There is this reassuring advice from great sages: "Know that by knowing which everything becomes known; attain that by attaining which everything is attained."

Blessed are those who have found their unique talent early in life; nurtured it properly and manifested it fully for the welfare of one and all.

  1. Suri,

    You have the unique talent of expressing yourself in easy to understand, good yet simple English. It is high time you write more and daily. The "COUNTER" attached to this Blog is a visible proof that it has a good readership.

    'FEED JIT LIVE TRAFIC MAP' tells me that the readership is not only good in number but they are widespread.

    There are many BLOGS for time-pass and entertainment. There is always some type of vested interest in them and I am yet to find a meaningful and useful Blog like this.
    I am able to visualize a great future for you and your Blog.

    Regards,
