Seriously I have looked so deep inside of me and I really don't know what my distinct potential or talent is. Let's not all act superman and be honest who feels this way also... we are talking about DISTINCT here not some general stuff like I am hardworking, I can discern, I am beautiful bla bla bla.

There is bound to be at least one thing that you do better than most other people. What is this?

I know how you feel..

The same goes for me... I'm good at basketball, football, tennis, academics, business(hustling) etc.. probably everything I do.... But I've a problem finding my real talent(my natural gift)... I've tried everything but I hope I discover my real talent one day...

Not being able to identify your talent can in itself be a talent. Who knows...

Have you tried poorn?

find out those things you are very confident that you can do better like no one else even you when you use little or no effort,you still surpass others in it
For example,I have a friend who can take care of babies,would even care for the babies and take all the babies hassles without complaining!!call her the next moment,she is willing to spend time with babies that are not even her own!I kept wondering how she does it,she was in her late teens then and just left school.for some,it is interfacing with the public.try read 'why you act the way you do' by tim lahaye then 8th habit by stephen covey.wish you luck!

I'll try out those suggestions. Thanks I was begining to feel I was a wierdo or sumfin.

What do you love to do most and are good at? that is how you get and find your talent. if it is to eat, then eating is your talent, if it is to sleep, then sleeping is it, is it weaving and sewing, dancing, and so on....what you love to do without looking back on or feeling bored is your talent, now developing that talent is a different thing entirely.

Oyin try to study yourself for a week. Evaluate your activities. There must be something you love doing. Something you pay more attention to than any other.
Is it movies (film critic), literature(writer), gadgets (geek), science (nerd), pictures (photographer), food (cook), furniture and decor (interior decorator), paintings (artist) etc.
There may be more than one.
I hope you find it soon. And do let us know when you do. All the best!!!

Try hawking Agege Bread.

Sometimes it may not be easy for an individual to recognise easily his/her talent(s)
In moments like these family & friends who have been around you for sometime can be of great help.
To identify your talent try to recall the things you excel in and enjoy. those thing you find easy to do (does not mean they are easy, and will be willing to do even if there is no (immediate) reward.

dayokanu: Have you tried poorn?

HAHHAHAH!!!

Try and think of things you would love to do for lots and lots of money. meditate on them. Then think of those things you would do even if they don't pay you. Things that you enjoy doing.

Find out how you can improve yourself in those things you would do for free until you excel in them. Then think of how you can make it or them pay as much as the first lot.

Hey don't feel bad. Kim Kardashian and her family have ZERO talent, and yet people pay a LOT to see them on TV doing absolutely nothing that is worth watching to a person with a real job.

Start a reality show on Nigerian TV and watch your fortunes grow. To boost the ratings of your show, record an X-rated film with your man, have someone release it on the net, and then call a press conference to announce how furious you are that your private nookie sessions are being watched by millions of punters.
