Skill, Passion Vs Profession: A Hard Reality Check.

I have been reading some reflections of a particular person on hive and his views wouldn't have been originally shared by me, neither would his opinions have resonated with me if some recent events haven't unfolded in my life for the past two months now. I think we originally would shun people for their sentiments if we do not understand or see their experiences and lessons learned from our point of view.

This guy was consistently talking about being talented, being a creator online, and the dilemma of bending over to absurd rules and principles because of the incentives at stake. In this video, I talked about the freedom of choice, especially when we don't have to make choices because our needs and responsibilities depend on them. Many people are talented in the world, but most of the time, they lack the exposure and channel to get through to the proper opportunity to build a life with some of the things they're talented with.

Nigeria, for example, is a country that's filled with talents, but on the surface, the country seems redundant and that's because the people who possess the means and connections are mainly overshadowing those with the proper skills, abilities, and talent to create better innovations. In fact, all over the world some people mostly choose a career over passion, especially when responsibilities become so imminent that passion may not foot the bills.

Talent and skills are often huge determinants of what people do or become in life to attain self-fulfillment and achieve financial freedom, but mostly, reality becomes a barrier to financial freedom, along the line, people settle for less, especially because what they planned was different from what reality offered them. However, people become innovative, abandoning their passion and talents to take care of what matters more.

Sometimes, life comes with the ultimate sacrifice of living for others when we get to a certain stage in life. There are times we plan to build a future with some of the things we can effortlessly do in life, but It's Only a few people who get to earn money to do what they effortlessly enjoy doing. Most of the time, people settle for other things that can pay the bills, thereby abandoning their nature skills, talent, and profession because of the lack of exposure.

In conclusion

There are times alents and skills becomes worthless when the appropriate exposure is not there. Talents like football and art depend on exposure and acceptance before worth can be accredited. However, the talent that went undiscovered can be disappointing, this is why people choose to kill big dreams because they can hardly afford to pay for their reality. In this video, I talked about myself as a reference point and why I would choose a future where there wouldn't be much pressure for talent to pay.
