I believe in hustle and talent, and there's what I call the natural endowment for instinctive success. What's this? It's often believed that all talented people are lazy, and depend solely on their charm or undeveloped capabilities to always pave the way for them, While this isn't completely false, there are also talented people, who honed their skills, worked hard and decided to master their craft.

You hit the nail on the head and I agree with this, Not all talented people are lazy, some still add efforts to hone their skills and it looks like they aren't putting much effort because they are blessed with it.

This is because most people are focused on exchanging their talent for money, rather than going on a journey of self-discovery, following the natural process, and allowing themselves to showcase what they're truly good at.

I used to write for fun while in school and never envisaged that I could earn from it, It was just a natural thing but I had to learn how to be good at it, Just one space on twitter changed the whole thing and look where I am today.

We just need to give our talents attention and time, discover what we are truly made for and excel.

> No matter how educated or exposed we are, there are people we're always going to be jealous of, irrespective of how we train or restrain ourselves

This part right here is so true. So much in the corporate world. In the ph we have the phrase crab mentality where instead of celebrating the wins of others, people get jealous and downplay once achievement. Been thru this countless times that ive been wary of who to trust.

Hmmm! What more can I say, well I love this piece earnestly

You know having talent is another thing, finding what that talent is and how it can impact lives is the real game

Thank God for skills, you can learn skills if you don't have talent and you can earn both from talent and skills - no crime in that 

But, not everyone is set to discover this talent... in short, not every body is blessed with a talent

But with talent or no talent, the most important thing is finding your purpose because once your find your purpose be rest assured that everything will fall in place 

>***This is why people go to school, get a degree, master a profession, drop that profession, and head back into the streets to continue the rough way.***

This particular line really got to me, in our today's Nigeria you see lots of graduates in the street doing minimal jobs just to survive and so you ask yourself what was the essence of going to school, even if not for the degree while in the process didn't they thought of an alternative skillset? Why will someone spend such a number of years in school just to end up in the streets driving maruwa doing odd jobs ....

Talking about jealousy and envy I'm not particularly a fan of that, but I have a room mate we currently stay together since second year tho we're out of the system waiting for national service, this guy freaking annoying, he's naturaly gifted in asking, like you won't know when you pull out funds to him meanwhile he's not doing anything to help with daily expenses...most times am like when I'm out of here I'm not sharing my space with anyone cause I quite kinda like my privacy.

A lot of people have talents but not all talents can be turned as a means to financial freedom. 

If your talents brings you money, then, you are lucky, if it doesn't, focus on other skills or hustle to make ends meet because as you grow, responsibilities grow as well.

As you hustle through life, pray that the universe favour you.

Luck isn't something we can control but if we keep trying, then things may work out. If you don't try, it doesn't happen. I don't know if I would really say I have any skills but I guess being able to get things are a part of just doing a job. Just keep hustling and learning because you never know what will happen.

Apart from that, you know some people can be so lucky that they are likely to get all the things they need and things work for them very fast and there are some people who are very talented but they are not as lucky as others and it makes them feel like they are not doing enough 

> Sometimes the focus on talent dies when the reality of bills and responsibilities comes.

I once had a friend who went through this. She was an amazing singer with a golden voice. I  wonder if she's still singing today because she's immersed deeply into business.

Or maybe some talents have other greater purposes than monetisation.

>...it only means that we're hurting from the jealousy that stems from comparing them to us.

The issue of jealousy arises when we compare ourselves to others. We shouldn't, especially if we don't know the person's process or his corgitations at night.
If we see people who don't seem to put in much work like we do but are more successful, we should try and find out what the person did and try to implement it. Maybe it's what the person did without knowing it would pay of or it could be what the person's parents did.


Thanks so much, Boss for sharing. 

Powerful and insightful!

Talent and hustle, **Discovery is very important**. I vividly remember when my teacher in secondary school told me how it's very principal to know who I am. I ponder more on this cause right from tender age, cognitive thinking is my life. Just to cut the story short, I was able to figure out the answer. Then I begin to work towards it.

>**Talent doesn't bring money, until it get processed**

Note my word: Talent to money isn't as easy as most people think it is, you must have paid the price of Time, learning and patience.

**From raw talent ---- modification----Money** 

I compare talent to raw material that hasn't been processed. There was a time when I was ignorant of my talent. If it comes to writing I can write from morning to night without looking for a friend or companion, so writing was my lover. Then someone told me how I can use this skillI to call for money. Then I started exercising myself to deliver what clients will love. 

So, talent requires more than what most people think of. 

Thanks for sharing, Jose. Hope you're better now?

This our world is strange so to say, some are talent, but no avenue to come to limelight.  
>they feel that everyone should go through the pain of due process just like they did, and when this isn't the case, it creates toxicity.

I think who pass through difficulties why growing up are often embittered especially when they finally make it to the top. They expected everyone to pass through the same fate or process. They are qucik to say some people are not doing enough which is why they are not making it. 

Also i believe everyone is unique in their own way. We just need to accept who we are  and find our way to the top without being embittered by the success we find around us.
