Hidden Talents

Most of us have hidden talents we’ve forgotten about...

We’re all born with some hidden talents that we use as kids – and then a lot of us forget about them until retirement! According to Tom Rath, author of “How Full Is Your Bucket,” once we’re fully immersed in our career or family paths – those hidden talents often get buried – and we should dig them up now:

• Ask close friends and relatives what your hidden strengths and talents are – they often have a different perspective than you.

• Make a list of things you enjoyed as a kid – and see if any of those can be applied to your adult life.

• Get expert advice. Once you tap into something you feel passionate about – seek out someone who’s actually done it to point you in the right direction.

Rath says people who tap into and develop those hidden talents as an adult often end up with greater fulfillment in life – and sometimes even some extra income.
