“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” Steve Jobs

Talent
“Talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing.”Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Talent
The twin of Passion is your Talent. While your Passions energize you and others, your Talents guide you to make the best use of your time.
Talent is what comes naturally to you and is easy to do without having to think about it. You often do it quickly and without effort.
It may be that it comes so easily to you that you don’t even notice it or you think of it as nothing special.
Talent is your gift to others. Like a precious diamond in its natural state, we often see our talent as rough or ordinary, whilst others recognize its inherent brilliance and know our talent is invaluable.
Paradoxically, what may seem like nothing to you may be everything to someone else. Actually, a “talent” was originally a unit of money, something valuable that could be exchanged and traded. Equally today, everyone has some talent that can be used as a currency of exchange.

Discovering and using your talents is the second aspect of the relationship between You and You and allows you to find the path of least resistance to expressing your talent and experience your natural flow.
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”
Calvin Coolidge
Knowledge
“If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” Benjamin Franklin
Knowledge
Whilst you discover or reconnect to your talents and passions that are inside of you, you acquire and build your KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE over time.
All the knowledge, skill and experience you gained over time allows you to expand on your talents and passions, and let them be more alive and shining. And also more valuable. Yet so often we don’t invest our time and energy deliberately and try to gain experience or acquire new knowledge and skills in areas that have nothing to do with our talents and passion.
It does take time and focus to build your knowledge and experience base. Therefore, if you become an expert in any area or domain, it makes sense that it is aligned with and develops your passion and talent.
Knowledge Files
You acquire knowledge and experience either through education, self-study or direct experience. As you do that, these become areas where you become proficient and other people start viewing you as an expert and person to go to when they need help, advice or a problem to be solved. Where are you knowledgeable and experienced you become respected as an authority and valued for what you can bring to the table.
“I am not a genius. I am just a tremendous bundle of experience.” Buckminster Fuller
