What if a person's talents are obscure and not so easily exploited or demonstrated as some of the talents you have listed above? I firmly believe in developping myself as a human being and all our capabilities, but the fear of God and other people's opinions haunts my mind while developping such skills. To name an innocent example, I recently found out I can write with both hands, with practice I can do so at the same time. Though when I've used my skill to facilitate my job responsibilities I did not like the response I got from gazes and remarks. Now this may seem harmless, but what of my other talents? I have problems hearing a calling while I am wondering how will I fit in society. Perhaps you can help me with this Father? A question does pop in to mind.
