"THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF TALENT, MAN-MADE TALENT AND GOD-GIVEN TALENT.
WITH MAN-MADE TALENT YOU HAVE TO WORK VERY HARD.
WITH GOD-GIVEN TALENT, YOU JUST TOUCH IT UP ONCE IN A WHILE. "

PEARL BAILEY

 

Taking on new challenges and seeking excellence can lead to happiness. Waiting around for that special inspiration can leave you standing on the corner after the parade of life has moved down the road. In either case when you set high goals you are bound to experience mistakes and become frustrated by repeated difficulties or setbacks. By challenging life and making mistakes you keep the ability to learn new talents and touch up the old ones. By not challenging life’s difficulties and trying to avoid mistakes you could be making the biggest mistake of all. Mistakes are the portals of discovery!
