Listen to Your Inner Self
. The most common way hidden talents emerge is by feeling a hunger or desire for something. Do you see street musicians every morning on your way to work and feel the urge to play the guitar? Or do you visit an art gallery and admire the precise brushwork of a master\’s painting? These may be ways to become aware of your own talent. If you catch a glimpse of something somewhere that catches your eye, it may be just the thing for you. On the other hand, if you can\’t tell the difference between a drawing and a painting, and the subject of music doesn\’t appeal to you at all, you might want to cross something you feel the same way about off your list.
What comes easy to you?
What you are best at is usually what you are best at as well. In other words, if you are good at sports, can learn new things quickly, and feel no problem playing tennis without ever having held a racket, then sports are probably right for you. On the other hand, if you\’ve loved drawing since childhood, but so far have only done a little bit on the edges of work papers, you might want to consider taking an art course.
