What are your talents and/or what do you wish you were talented at?

I'm just like you with the music and the languages. Although I haven't bought a guitar yet... I'd very much like to get one and start learning it! Also I guess it would be nice being able to draw well, I'm thinking specifically anime/manga style drawings.

I think my biggest talents lie in any area that requires a combination of artistry and physical skill (athletics - esp. dance) as well visual and performing arts (I think I am a slightly more natural performing artist than I am a visual one). This surprises people because I have pursued pretty much every area of the arts you can imagine at one point or another, in one way or another. But I wish I could compose music more easily... and I wish I had a more natural singing voice. Perhaps the reason I wish I had it is the same reason other people assume I do - because of my interest in the arts! But moreover, I wish I had higher confidence and higher self esteem. Sometimes I freeze at mistakes, criticism, or signs of disapproval and get upset and don't know what to do... worry how many people saw whatever slip-up I made and what they'll think of me. I am not sure if this is a "talent" in the stereotypical sense of the word, but I am too afraid of people thinking the wrong thing about me or getting myself seriously hurt, etc. that I am not quick to take risks unless certain of succeeding. So that is the part of me I'd like to improve the most.

I would agree that if we are willing to practice, we can become more talented. Being a pianist since childhood, I am amazed at how consistent practice will keep producing more and more skill at this art. It is like there is always something else to learn regardless of how much I think I "should know it all"... As a therapist I often tell clients who suffer from a lack of self-esteem, that practising learning a new skill will bring rewards of greater confidence in themselves. One needs to face those fears of failure and improve skill by working through the mistakes.. :-)
