Self Discovery


This week I read a fantastic article by Jeff Sandefer titled Living Life as an Entrepreneurial Hero, where he highlights the importance of dreaming big and taking small steps to making that dream a reality.  He gives comfort to those who might not have a clear goal, by teaching that you can start perfecting those things that you are already good at.  Sometimes asking family members and those close to you they can help you discover those special talents that you possess.  Great, let’s get started!

As a read the article I quickly became discouraged because I discovered that I have no talent!  I know what you must be thinking, “Everyone has a talent.”  Well although very true, I have yet to discover mine.  I decided that I cannot ask my mother because she looks at me through rose colored glasses!  My husband sweetly smiled and had no response.  Am I really that involved in my day to day chores that I do not allow myself time to show others things that I truly enjoy?

Well fortunately I can think of a handful of things that I have found joy in doing even though they are things I have only done or tried once or twice.  I figure that I now must give myself the time to begin with the baby-steps mentioned in the article and find out if those things really can develop into talents.  I think I would even dare to say that my first-baby step is that of self-discovery!
