Everyone and I do mean everyone has a “special talent.” It may not be obvious, like playing a musical instrument, or being an artist, or dancing, but everyone has something that they are really good at.
Can you knit or crochet?
Can you organize things?
Can you speak consolingly to others and comfort them when needed?
Can you cut hair or design and sew clothes?
Can you bake or cook delicious meals?
Are you good with children or older persons?
Can you operate heavy equipment?
Are you a good and safe driver?
Can you design cards and send them out to others to brighten their day?
Can you grow flowers and give a bouquet to someone who needs cheering up?
There are so many things that you could be good at. And here’s the KEY.
Recognize what your “special talent” or talents are and then USE them to enhance your life and the lives of others. It will make a HUGE difference in your level of happiness in life.
When you can contribute to the people in the world around you, you become more satisfied with your own life.
Remember, the Bible says that “there is more happiness in GIVING, than there is in receiving.”
What can you start doing today, that will make you a happier person?

Those are all VERY important skills. And certainly not skills that everyone has.

@JohnRoberts Sometimes, some persons don't realize that they have important skills and talents, but everyone has something that they can contribute to society.

You should get a job as a screen writer. It seems you have a good imagination. That's a good thing. Perhaps you could write stories and get them published. I just published my first novel about two years ago. I'm working on another one now.

I am good with paper quilling and mixed media art. I enjoy doing them. They help me relax.
