Everybody is endowed with one or more natural gifts. There is no argument about this. The only issue is that someone may at first be doubtful at what he or she is good at doing.
Some of these things are acquired in the course of our lives. Checking inwards and studying oneself will make someone understand the various potentials in oneself. Some people are multi-talented and versatile in so many fields of human endeavours. Others struggle to keep their feet on a single skill.
There are so many ways to identify your unique skills. By knowing these assets of yours, you will have a specific direction in the way you want to move in life. In addition you will have specific aims and objectives in your life ambitions.
1. What you love doing always
Anything that brings joy to you whenever you do it is what you are good at doing. You will always be happy at what you love doing. You feel so much joy and calmness when doing it. It could be a sport or mentoring people or even business transactions.
2. What you do very well
You always get the best result when doing it. If other people are struggling to get a positive result, your own case is always different. It is often a case of your natural ability to perform brilliantly in such areas. It could be your ability to solve a difficult mathematics equation where others falter. It could also be on performance evaluation on your job.
3. It brings you the most success in life
After assessing all what you have achieved in life so far, it is this particular skill that brings you the most success. A person like Professor Wole Soyinka is both an orator and a prolific writer. He has however achieved more success from his literary works. This writing skills of his fetched him the Nobel laureate in Literature in 1986.
4. It makes you the happiest person
When you identify your unique skills, you become the happiest person on earth. Nothing else makes you happy than this. It brings smiles to your face. What brings happiness to people differs. While some people are happy when they write books in isolation, others are not. Example of this scenario is seen among university professors who do not want to retire from their jobs even after they get to retirement age.
5. It is very easy to do
You do not go through hitches or stress when using your talents to solve problems. You do not even care if you spend a whole day on it after achieving so much for the day. When your colleagues are tired and worn out, that is when you are fired up to do more. While you are working on the computer for hours without complaining, others are already tired.
6. It is very easy to learn
When it takes you ages to learn anything, it means that thing is not what you can thud your chest about and boast that you are dexterous at doing. However, if you are proficient at doing something after learning it for some days, it means you have found your hobby. This scenario plays out in higher institutions of learning. While some students understand their lecturers easily, some of them struggle. At the end of the day, going to school becomes useful to some and not for other students.
7. It holds your full attention
You are totally carried away when doing it. It totally absorbs you. It also fascinates you when other people are doing it. You often like to think about it. You have a burning desire to continue doing it. It burns in you like a flame of fire. Playing video games by some children takes away their mind from other things totally.
8. You become better on it daily
You are always improving on this skill of yours every day. It also helps to improve your mental life. You have a deep desire to really excel in this particular area than any of your peers.
9. It makes you exceptional
People may think there are issues with you sometimes. You may work on your exceptional talents for a long period of time without eating or sleeping. This is because you are so much engrossed in it. This situation is apt to the story of Sir Isaac Newton, the great scientist who propounded the laws of motion and gravitational pull in Physics. During his life time, he went for days without eating. This was because he was always carried away when he was studying.
10. People admire and respect you
People often recognise someone who is good at doing something. Likewise, you yourself will cherish a persperson who is equally good like you or even better. People always want to be around you. They want to emulate you in the ways you do your things. Examples abound in football and among football players. Examples are Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski, who are all cynosures of eyes.
