Your talent is in there!
My downstairs neighbor has a beautiful voice.  My other neighbor plays 
cello beautifully.  One of my best friends takes the most amazing photos
 of women you will ever see.  Everything around me is beautiful.  Which 
leads me to wonder where my place is?  I don't really do anything 
beautifully.  I'm ok at lots of stuff.  I'm ok at taking pictures.  I 
probably have a good eye or whatever.  I used to be able to play 
clarinet semi-well.  I can do my job decently.  I can write okay.  I'm 
super-good at loading a dishwasher.  But what do I do in a beautiful 
manner?  No singing voice to speak of.  I'm not that great at the mom 
thing...I'm just pretty all right at that.  I admit I can follow a 
recipe well, especially where baked goods come into play.  But I don't 
have a special talent.  I wish I could make lovely music, take awesome 
photos, say amazing things that inspire people...but that's not 
happening.  Instead, I watch others be excellent.  I observe 
excellence.  I am good at observing!  I'm a beautiful observer.  Maybe 
that's not as point-outable as the beauty that surrounds me, but it's 
something.  I'm pretty damn good at taking things in.  I'm great at 
absorbing my surroundings.  Anyone need a world-class observation 
artist?
