A strange yet legit fear...

I could be the world's most amazing landscape designer, or boat captain, or underwater demolition expert, or custom knife maker, or music publicist and I WOULD NEVER KNOW IT.

What if I have some amazing and awesome talent that is just waiting to be uncovered?! The idea of this scares me significantly.

How do people cultivate these obscure talents? Are you just BORN knowing that you should carve custom knives out of elephant tusks (which is illegal I think)?!?!? Do you just have these strange urges to dive to the bottom of the ocean and blow things up?!?!?! How do people find their talents and make a living off of them?

I love my job, but what if I am missing out on my calling to be a snake charmer or an ice road trucker? I mean, I could be REALLY GOOD at those things and just not know it...

  1. Very true... I can be honest and say that I seriously think there is something that I am perfectly MEANT to do.... I just don't know what that is yet. I dunno why, but I feel like whatever it is I want to do, I don't think it's an ordinary job. It's not to be a teacher or a doctor or anything like that. I just want to do something that I truly love and something that I would love to do day in and day out without it ever really feeling like work. Hmmm... maybe I'll be a contortionist or something. haha But, you're right... how do people take their unique talents and spend their lives actually usuing them?!
