Personal profit should not be the primary reason for deploying your talent. Let the use of your talent be the reason others find meaning in life. Let deploying your talent make others deploy theirs. You were given that talent to meet a need to solve a problem to inspire performance. You must not rob your generation and the unborn generation of what only you can do. Though this is part of it, but primarily your talent is for the service of humanity. You are not given talent for yourself alone. And you don’t only rob yourself you rob the world from benefiting from your uniqueness. When you don’t deploy your talent, you rob yourself of that characteristic flavor. If all of us were footballers, then who would handle the entertainment industry? If all of us were inventors, then who would be literary artists? There is beauty in diversity. If the Giver wanted everyone to be alike, then He would not diversify His portfolio of talents.

It’s what stands you out of the madding crowd so you don’t blend in. The owner has confidence in your ability to deliver. But if we abandon it, abuse it, or misuse it, we would be condemned. If we use it well and for its intended purpose, we would be commended and rewarded. We will give report on how we administered the gift. This presupposes that there would be ‘talent audit.’ Each of us will give account to the Giver who entrusted His gifts to us. Deploying your talent brings great joy to the Giver. So it’s not about you it’s about the Giver. And the Giver took pains to package it to your particular specifications. None of us has anything that we didn’t receive. No entrepreneur would puff-up against a financial institution or an investor which lend it money to do business. This truth should do two things to us:įirst, it should make us grateful. It’s not just a gift it’s the best gift you could ever receive. Here are 5 reasons you should deploy your talent: (1) Your Talent Is A Gift. And some who have developed theirs have not deployed them. Some who have discovered theirs have not developed them. Sadly though, many people have not discovered theirs. They also are signatures of ownership of us – the seal and stamp of the authority over us. These abilities point to our purpose and assignment here. We have been configured and coded in ways that are peculiar to our personae. €¦You’ve Got Talent.     Everyone’s got talent.Įach of us has been hard-wired with special abilities that make us do things effortlessly and easily.

I get charmed by this British artiste as she sings her popular soulful solo, Someone Like You. You’re sitting up late with me in my apartment in Leeds, UK, watching British Musical Awards. And everyone who’s watched that video will say so.Ĭome walk with me for a moment. Lillie McCloud’s talent had blown Kate away. To keep an audience electrified with a popular song is no mean feat, how much more with a relatively unknown song. Katy spoke about the Lillie in glowing terms: But her thoughts about this video caught my attention. Katy (not her real name) rarely comments on her or her friends’ posts on Facebook. The comment of a trusted friend about Lillie made me reconsider my decision.  I had read some online comments about the video by people who watched it, but I thought it wasn’t worth my time and attention.

In that video she sang CeCe Winans’ “Alabaster Box” at The X Factor USA 2013 and blew the judges away.
