How to find your talent. Talent only activates in a specific environment— What people who "don't know themselves" need isn't introspection, but a change in environment.
I don't know my talent, I don't know my strengths, I don't know who I am.
People who face these problems take various approaches as solutions. They repeatedly engage in "self-reflection," search for videos on YouTube, and take personality tests. They also set aside time to think alone.
But you won't find much. Why can't talent be found through introspection?
- New talent doesn't manifest in fixed places.
- Talent isn't found in introspection because there's no new material.
- It's not that you should change jobs to death.
- Just so there's no misunderstanding, "changing your environment" is not synonymous with "changing jobs."
- In the new environment, there's a new, talented me.
- Every time I enter a new environment, a part of myself I didn't know emerges.
- Not being able to find an answer even after thinking about it doesn't mean you're stupid—there are two types of questions.
- Cut the good stuff──The concept of active severance
- The brain cannot distinguish between reality and a sense of presence: Making the future exist first
NewTalent does not activate in a fixed place
Talent is like a function. When the input changes, the output changes too.
Even with the same person, the abilities that are brought out are completely different depending on the environment they are placed in. Someone ordinary in Japan might suddenly shine overseas. Someone who didn't excel in sales might suddenly stand out the moment they move to planning. This isn't a change in personality, but rather a different function value being outputted because the input, the environment, has changed.
In other words, as long as you stay in one fixed place, you will never see the full picture of your talents. Even if you continue to work hard in one environment, there is an upper limit to the abilities that can be drawn out. The structure is that you haven't even reached the place where the gold vein is.
Talent isn't found in introspection because there's no new material.
Introspection is the act of rearranging the materials you already have within yourself.
However, what's needed to discover talent isn't recombination, but the introduction of new elements. New environments, new relationships, new roles—it's only then that dormant talents emerge.
People who feel they "don't understand themselves" tend to try to understand themselves as a complete entity within a single environment. However, this is structurally impossible. To decipher the function that is "yourself," you have no choice but to try multiple inputs.
It's not that you should change jobs to death.
Just so there's no misunderstanding, "changing your environment" is not synonymous with "changing jobs."
Changing your environment refers to any action that exposes you to new input. Start a new hobby. Try donating. Go on a trip. Talk to people of different ages. Engage with people from different industries. Interact with people from overseas online. All of these are actions that place you in a new environment.
You don't have to change jobs. Simply make a habit of regularly immersing yourself in environments where you encounter many people who exceed your personal standards. That alone increases the likelihood that talents that have been dormant within you will suddenly emerge.
In the new environment, there's a new, talented me.
Every time I enter a new environment, a part of myself I didn't know emerges.
The definition of "this is who I am" that I had convinced myself of is updated little by little each time. And I realize. That myself is not a fixed person, but an entity that outputs different function values depending on the environment.
If you want to know your talents, simply analyzing yourself is not enough. You have to change your environment. If you can't make a big change, start with small steps first.
