This book is a must read (cover to cover of course) for those wanting to know how to keep the fire alive- the passion. Gifts come to us in many forms and the enjoyment (passion ) creates the drive to stay motivated. I love selling real estate,working with buyers or sellers making goals and meeting them. I think we do get back from the world what we give- as long as we are giving with the right intentions .... It was great reading your post, learning about your passions (family and God- who can beat that!) and seeing that this book is being discussed and recommended. See ya around!

I think it has a lot to do with how you spend your time. After college and up until 2 years ago, I spent the majority of my time working in my craft and therefore got really good at "project management", not a particularly cool trait that people write best seller books about and I don't think I'll be called to be on "America's Got Talent"! I totally agree with the 2 point increase though. No matter how hard I try, I will never be on the LPGA tour or a soloist in the choir! Some things surface much later in life like my passion for photography. I never really knew I was decent at it until Kelsey came along and I took billions of pictures.

Where can I get one of those? I've been told that I have talent. And I think to some degree I do in a number of areas. I think I'm like Kristen in that my talent is pretty well-rounded. And like you I rarely finish a self-help book so I sometimes have trouble deciding how to use my talent. When you finish this book, is it possible for me to say that I've finished the book vicariously through you? Just wondering. Cool watch! Where can I get one of those?

I'm one of those people who have a little bit of talent in a lot of different areas. I've never excelled at one thing. I was a decent volleyball player in HS, I have a decent singing voice, I was a decent office manager when compared to my peers. The things I'm actually really good at have nothing to do with talent: loyalty, passion, commitment, ect.. So what does that mean? Do we each have a particular area of talent that should be developed more than others? I’ve NEVER considered myself “talented”.
