Is talent born or learned?

Talent is not taught, it's a natural ability to see or do something in a certain way. But skill is something that we have become good at and love doing but have been taught. It's taken hours, days, weeks, months, years to master. It's something that you get better at over time and that you desire to do and master.

Desire…

I found this quote – “desire is more important than talent” and I find this quote to be so true. Talent, this natural aptitude, exists in people. The more you tune into what you want to do and really desire, the more you will tap into those natural aptitudes that you have. For years, I felt like I didn’t have any talent but it was only when I started to move towards what really excited me as a person and what I was curious about that I started to see these little superpowers come through. I guess that’s me describing little bits of talent, but for me, I really do think that everything that I’ve discovered about myself has come from hard work and from learning. For example, take Mozart. He was a great composer and everyone will say how talented he was. But for him, it came from hours and hours and hours of practice. He openly said this. He used the 10,000 hour rule to master his music. He just kept going and never gave up. I’ve even done this myself. I never felt I could draw but I was determined to learn so I took drawing classes. I drew every single day and over a couple of years of being persistent, I got to the place where I felt I really could draw. I have so many examples of this where people have practised, practised, practised on something they really desire and now they have this amazing ‘superpower’. And it will always come back to the quote “desire is more important than talent”. I have seen people with this born talent to make music, make art and create but if they don’t have the passion and desire to take that talent to the next level – it will fall flat. It is that burning desire that drives you forward. Once you have this desire for your art, the process of making is simple. It’s a process. Like reading a book, playing an instrument – just putting one step in front of another. Once you know how, you can always do it. You can create a piece of art in informal steps, like creating a collage. The actual process of making art doesn’t have to be a massive complex masterpiece.

What do people need to survive?

However, it is paramount to consider not only the presence of these five factors, but their quality as well. If you want your body to survive and thrive, it is crucial that you are fueling your body with healthy foods, adequate sleep, plenty of water, as well as clean air and proper shelter.

A lower blood volume also reduces flow to the extremities of the body, leading to numbness in the fingers and toes. At this point, the blood is too thick to make its way through the small capillaries in the brain: this makes it impossible to concentrate or focus for any period of time. Of course, this scenario may only occur in extreme circumstances. At this level of dehydration, one would need to seek medical treatment immediately. The repercussions of even mild dehydration, however, can be serious nonetheless. The tell-tale signs of mild dehydration include dry mouth, thirst, dark urine and headaches. This level of dehydration can hinder your brain’s ability to function at full speed, and result in what some might call “brain fog”. Brain fog can manifest itself in different ways, like afternoon fatigue, headaches, issues focusing, and even depression and anger. People forget to drink water throughout the day for many reasons, however, it is important to pinpoint these reasons and reflect on how you can make appropriate changes. If you’re too busy, setting reminders on your phone can simplify the process. If you are constantly working on the go, you could carry a water bottle with you throughout the day to ensure you have access to water. If you don’t like the taste of your water, try a Santevia alkaline water filter for great, fresh-tasting water.
