I thought I would ask you a question. Did you know November 24th is Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day? I didn’t but if I had a unique talent it would be fun to share it today. Since I don’t and neither does Charlie or David.
I thought I would ask you if you have a #uniquetalent you would like to celebrate with us today. Or do you know someone that has a unique talent I should check out. If so what is the talent and why should I check it out?
Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day is celebrated on November 24th nationwide and Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day is a day to accept and celebrate individual talents. Beauty lies in being different. We’re not made to all fit in one box.
Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day is a day to accept these differences and to love what each of us has to offer. I have a question for you. Can you stand on your hands, or can you curl your tongue, or do you do uncanny impressions? Are you a prolific whistler, graffiti artist, or double-jointed? Whatever it may be, celebrate your talent today.
No actual historical timeline exists when it comes to talents. People have had their unique talents for as long as they have existed. More conventional talents may have come into existence a little later; for example, being a gifted guitarist was only possible after the invention of the guitar. But other quirky talents have been around since day one, and we don’t know where we’d be without them.
Is it too far-fetched to think that the world would be a different place without special skills and talents? We wouldn’t know light if it wasn’t for the guy whose unique talent was rubbing sticks together until they sparked. Music would sound so different if it wasn’t for the person whose unique talent was creating sounds from flat hollow surfaces, eventually leading to the invention of drums.
Remember talents don’t even have to be revolutionary to be celebrated. Even being able to touch your tongue to your nose is great, and it is unique to you, and deserves to be hyped up! As PGA Master Dr. Alison Curdt is quoted to have said, “Being different is a strength, not a weakness.” Society has shut it down in the past, but we are progressively becoming more accepting and inclusive.
Not everyone is born to be a singer or dancer, some people are gifted to bend their thumb all the way back, and they deserve recognition too. As a matter of fact, the true celebration doesn’t even lie in external validation. Do you think the first person to rub wooden sticks together didn’t get weird looks from his friends? What would have happened if he let that judgment get to him and stopped exploring his talent? Accepting your inherent uniqueness is powerful in more ways than one. Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day is a reminder of just that.
