Have You Found Your Talent?

Is talent born with you or is it made?

Actually, we are born with talent. Sometimes, it is hard for most to identify it. Could it be right under our nose and we don’t even recognize it?

Perhaps, if we listen to others when they tell us we are really good at something, they may actually be sensing talent. What’s really easy for you and not for others? Others seem to struggle and you can just breeze through it; could this be your talent? Think about what you really love to do and get lost in it for hours at a time.

If you are drawn to it and you enjoy exploring it, this could be your natural talent! Go ahead and ask some of your friends what you always love to talk about, they will tell you in a New York minute!

Really take the time to listen to what people offer you in the way of compliments.

Take it seriously and when you are quiet and tapping into your inner self, you should be able to see more clearly in finding your real talents and abilities.

It could be that when you finally figure out your real talent you will feel more in balance with yourself and your life will be enriched. When you really think about it your talent can wind up giving you peace of mind and a total satisfaction in your soul.

Do what makes you feel complete and then, why not share your talents with others?

Try it, you will like it!

Mary Ann grew up in Brownwood, a small central Texas town. Her early love of the violin, which developed at the age of ten, and subsequent mastery of the instrument opened many opportunities for her. She was mentored and prepared for her musical journey from the director of the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. She auditioned and was selected to join the Blue Jeans Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was underwritten by Levi Straus Blue Jean Manufacturer and the City of Estes Park, Colorado. Two musical students from each state were selected and concerts were given each Sunday afternoon in a natural amphitheater in the Rocky Mountains. Mary Ann remains an alumnus of this group which is an active symphony now making their home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mary Ann also played in the Las Vegas, Wichita Falls and Austin Symphony Orchestras.

She had a busy career beginning at the Governor’s Office in Colorado. Then fourteen years at a Texas Trade Association. She was Manager of a Computer Magazine Publishing Company. The last few years of working were spent in sales, which led to her home office, as her husband’s health declined.

Since her husband’s death, Mary Ann has written several books, including a Book of Poetry, Children’s Short Stories, Reflections, The Pioneers and her just published book, Journey of My Heart, A Memoir.

During the last quarter of 2012 Mary Ann was engaged with speaking engagements and book signings in several states, as well as radio interviews from New York City, Dallas, Denver, Portland and Seattle, Washington.
