We’re all born with capacity to develop unique gifts.
Some people are gifted in some things. Other people are gifted with other things.
Blogging and writing are two of my gifts. I wasn’t naturally born with the gift to write. In fact, I couldn’t even hold a pencil, type on a keyboard, or write my name on the day I was born.
None of us are born with it. We have the potential to develop our unique talents and gifts.
Professional athletes don’t like to be defined as having a natural born talent.
Comments like this undermined the thousands of hours of determination, practice, and dedication is took to get to that level.
The Spanish artist Pablo Picasso said: The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

Culinary artist is to cook and arrange food.
