Working hard alone doesn't assure you that you'll achieve your dreams. Actually there are more cases where you don't. Even so, working hard and achieving something is some consolation at least.
The people who have "talent" and don't exercise it aren't trained to or don't have the opportunity either if they didn't look for it or due to unfortunate circumstances. But people who don't work hard don't have the right to be envious of the people with talent. People fail because they don't understand the hard work necessary to be successful.
So then, what are we supposed to do? When we stand on the edge of a bottomless pit and glance down, motioning the graceful figure of a bird and embrace the chance to take a step and fall, and fall, and fall, and fall...
Suddenly, remembering what we do have and who we have, the infinite powers that have been gifted to us... no - we shall not let it end here - we'll take the stance to flight and fight when you get back up... so no more falling...
just fly
What change will you make today? What, in your power, can you use? What skills and abilities do you want to hone? Who do you want to make happy? How will you find happiness?
That my friend, is not an answer found only in the promised land - the answer to that is found when we express our freedom by flying from our nest, doing things that take us out there, things that usually can't be expressed with words.
So don't wait any longer.... Go out there, live your life and make things happen...!
You have a natural talent for something. Everybody does. You just haven't found it yet. Plus, talent doesn't matter too much anyway; enough hard work makes up for any lack of talent.
