Hi guys, great subject for a post.
I've been wondering the same thing myself for a while. In Chopra's 'Seven Spritual Laws of Success' he states that everyone has a unique talent which takes them into timeless awareness (Law of Dharma). I've always thought that was a pretty bold statement and I'm not sure if I understand him correctly. He says that everyone has a talent which only they can express in a unique way.
My particular 'unique' talent is that I can play the piano 'by ear' and play almost anything without learning it. I just put my hands on the keyboard, hear the song/ tune and play it.
The problem I have is that I unfortunately don't really have a passion for doing that so it's really just for entertaining friends etc. Although I have worked in a professional capacity playing the piano I didn't really enjoy it and it's not the sort of music I listen to. If I'd been born in the 19th Century I would have been very popular at parties!
It seems that my ability is wasted on me as I'm sure thousands of people would Love to be able to play half as well as I can - without any effort or practice at all.
The other thing that I am quite good at and enjoy a lot is writing - but I can't think how those 2 skills could be combined (I wouldn't enjoy being a music journalist or anything like that).
Anyway - just thought I'd add my opinion to the mix.
