What is your taste, talent, Interests, pleasure?

“I have no special taste, talent, or ability.”
Do you recognise these words? The answer to that statement is “you are no worse off than the average person”.

Very few people have remarkable gifts that make them stand out in their early years, and which mark a definite pathway for them to follow.
There are also very few people who have not the capability for creating an interest or ability in a number of things, even though they have not any specific natural talent.

To nurture any interest we have to be alert to any opportunity that comes our way. We also have to be attracted to those opportunities that have more appeal. We may have to experiment with different kinds of activity and keep on trying to find something to which we are attracted.

Eventually if we are determined and aggressive in our efforts, we can develop a good deal of interest and ability.

Often what we end up doing is an offshoot of what we started out doing. Sometimes a person finds out that their true vocation lies with what they have been doing in their leisure time. Not what they have been doing as a regular occupation.

Instances of this could be the person that takes flowers to a sick relative and discovers an interest in nursing.

An environmentalist finds her job safe but unsociable, and starts taking the odd photograph. The hobby soon turns into a passion and she decides to have an exhibition of her work. A young man in college is an active member of the debating society. He discovers a real ability for public speaking and this pushes him into leadership and world affairs.

The list is endless.

• Do not dwell on what you cannot do and envy those that seem to have it all sorted out.
• Instead, ask yourself, “Am I using what I have or am I ignoring it, and hiding it.”
• Begin with what you have and build up an interest and ability.
• With what you have, begin to develop your maximum of ability.
  
• If you have to start small, then nurture what you have, and eventually big oak trees will grow out of little acorns.

Many small businesses have started from the kitchen table and have turned themselves into small empires.

Hobbies are also desirable to cultivate. Just because you cannot paint, why can’t you cultivate an appreciation of art in various ways? You may not be a great golfer or tennis player, but there is no reason why you cannot get relaxation and pleasure from the game.

It takes only a dash of spice to get the cake appetizing, so a tiny opportunity or slight ability may give a rich flavour to life.

DIG DEEP AND FOCUS ....Mind, Pleasure, Ability, Gifts, Interests, Talents, Opportunity?

Looking for answers...Time,Money,Power,Fear?

As in the flash of an eye, time speeds up as we speed forward to meet it. As time is static we rush around in life trying to fit into the illusion everything that we think we want.

Everything we have created in a self-fulfilling prophesy. Meetings, encounters and hopes are tied up together to create another layer of securities.

We think we know what we desire and what we want. All this is tied up with fear, fear that has been created by us and fuelled by the consumer industry.
Magazines, advertising, T.V. and radio all manipulate our senses, making us believe that we need to be on the lookout for everything that will make our existence on this earth easier.

The intellect has allowed us to imagine, to believe that we must strive for everything material, to keep ourselves happy and contented. Thrills beckon us at every corner.

We are not happy, not contented to spend time in our own company through fear of discovering our true nature. We have been conned by greed, ownership, power and the intellect into believing that this will bring us happiness and true contentment.
It only brings us unhappiness, discontentment, sorrow, pain and a feeling of not belonging anywhere in the society that we have allowed to be created around us.

This society needs people to follow its principles of attachment, reliance on others, judgements, wants and power.

We tie ourselves up with owing money that we will never repay because there is always more to be owned, more things we want to do and see and places we want to visit.

So the consciousness of the world is always striving for what they can do next and their selves are tied up like fishes caught in a net, not being able to free themselves.
We are the pretty fish, caught for the aquarium, darting about, going around in circles, wondering what is around the next corner.
Outside the large corporations look in, not realising that in their power to control, they too are controlled. They are also caught up with greed, wealth, power, and domination.
They too are slaves of the intellect, only they think they are masters.

But someone is looking down on them too and manipulating them and having their own pleasures and experience.
