Is It A Strain, Or Does It Happen Naturally?

Have you met someone who could cook, draw, or dance without having any professional lessons or instructors? It's a fantastic thing to see and experience. It's something God gave them, manifested at a particular time.  I have seen and heard story after story of such encounters, and it shows that we all carry a God-given spark, and nobody can take that away from us. In my case, what has not been given are those cool Chris Brown dance moves. If I could dance like that, you wouldn't be able to tell me anything. God knew what he was doing! I would have been too cool for school. Your second clue is, does it come naturally for you? That realization can be a defining moment, so pay close attention when it happens. I have learned that talents are given in different measures. Some people will develop faster than others, and that's okay. You were given what you needed to get started, and that's what matters. What you do next is very important. It could mean doing what you love for the rest of your life and making millions of dollars or watching Chris brown moonwalk on the Grammys from the comfort of your home because you ignored the signs of your potential greatness. Which do you want? To make Millions or be a couch connoisseur?

Choose wisely. I want to highlight God-given talent and abilities that can only be explained through the brilliance of our creator. Amazingly, he sent us here with these abilities to develop. I will save the subject of development for a later post, but it is worth mentioning that it is a powerful next step after your light-bulb realization of your innate greatness. Indeed, talent alone won't take you to the mountain top of greatness, but it starts the climb. I wanted to praise you for your greatness within. We don't spend enough time appreciating our greatness and celebrating our wins in life.

So many people think it's not good to love, encourage, and honor ourselves when we win. I believe this is a grave mistake, and I will explain why. Let me reiterate that we are talking about finding our place in the music industry or the world, and believing in yourself is a much-needed step in achieving that goal. Instead of putting yourself down, I encourage you to believe in your God-given talents, love yourself, and be kind to yourself as you discover the treasures within. This inner work will create the strength to keep going when things become cloudy, and you can't see as clearly. The days will arise when you are unsure, at least at the moment, and you will need strength to never give up on your dreams and aspirations. This part of the journey is not natural, like your talent, and you will have to work to sustain yourself through these challenging times. In other words, there will be ups and downs, but you have what it takes to win. Yes, I know this post is about discovering your natural talents and abilities, but I wanted to paint a picture of what the journey could be like. The inner treasures are just the beginning, and it's up to you to act on them and overcome obstacles that will arise, not to break you, but to build you. Obstacles create the environment for you to become stronger and stronger and prepare you for the next level. However, you are not alone; you have a community on the same journey, and we all need each other. Don't feel like you must go alone because that's a lie. You are never alone. You have a community, and we are cheering you as you climb the mountain of greatness. 

Community is an essential ingredient for any success in life. It's one of the best kelp secrets of very successful people. It's interesting because we often hear of self-made people, and I always think, "There is no such thing." Every successful person has a team that's not always visible on camera, but they are there. Sometimes, the team is just you and your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, or best friend; that's all you need initially. You don't need an entourage when you're just starting; you need a few people to get started. This is another way to remove the strain from your process and make it much easier. This post is about discovering your greater and determining if it's a strain or if it comes naturally. Still, I had to drop this gem so you know that finding your community or tribe is essential to discovering your position in the music world and industry.

It's your turn to discover what you have been given with excitement, love, and joy in your heart. The world awaits your presentation and hopes to see how you will improve the world. Contrary to any negative words that might have been spoken about you, you have what it takes and the "It" factor. God did not send you here empty-handed. He has invested in you and expects a return on his investment. That's great news because your success makes him look like a great, loving father who has your best interests at heart.
