Talents are great to have but balancing multiple talents goes a long way.
“Multipotentialite” is a modern professional word to describe a person with many talents. When someone has many intellectual skills, you can call them a “polymath.” An idiomatic phrase for a multi-talented person is “jack of all trades.
Dearest Creative, I understand your struggle in trying to harness all your potential at the same time.
The torment of not impacting the world with your gifts before you die keeps you awake, burdened, and busy.
On the flip side, you don’t see how much you have done and you get cranky, sad, and defeated in your mind that you are not useful.
But, hey! What to do when talents abound? Invest more in your interests, not in what everyone wants or does.

Be it singing, writing, dancing, acting, cooking, speaking, capturing moments, fashion designing- these are all great skill sets.
The fact is, you are a human being with a limitless imagination. Your imagination is constantly generating new and extraordinary ideas.
However, your imagination can also be a limitation. Start with one talent and focus on developing it. As you progress, you can expand your focus to include other talents.
Select the talent that interests you most and work around it; as you expand, navigating becomes easy and satisfying.
Your mind will play tricks on you- to feel that the rest of your talents will be buried if not used at an instance, but that’s not true.
The best response to the mind games is to develop each talent, hone it, and be good at it.
Creative, there are others just like you so don’t feel stuck. To thrive, you need the support of credible people.
It will get overwhelming as you grow in it, but those credible people will hold your hands and constantly remind you of your awesomeness.
Resources will be at your disposal as you develop. Remember you need believers in your gift. Those believers will provide the resources for you.
These resources range from time, money, support, and a person’s credibility. Ensure not to abuse these resources by making judicious use of them.
Creative, you have got this! You are not unfortunate to have been given multiple talents. There are so many other people who do not have the privilege to possess such potential needed to benefit themselves and the world.
Enjoy the process. Most importantly, communicate with the giver of all talents- God.
Cheers!
