As for me, it is still taking me 30+ years to figure it out. As for a talent, I’ve been taught everything but due to my short attention span, I either can’t retain it or use it for good purpose. As for the gift, I’m still trying to figure it out.
I love to write, share stories and experiences and give advice to what I know best. I don’t necessarily think that it is a gift because I would need to have the skill to write in a matter that’s very engaging.
I’d like to believe that something is there for me to work on and get better at.
Sometimes I think my gift is the having the knowledge of living. I’ve been through so many hooplas adventures happenings turmoil occupations VENTURES(!) and I know that amidst all my failures I’ve learned and conquered most issues dealing with self-actualization.
I know that my place in life is to give and share, and however that may be done, shall be done!
Now my biggest project is to figure out what Tyler’s possesses. I think I have an idea but he’s still young and I don’t want him to feel any pressure from me on what he wants to do.
