On of the most successful TV programs over the past ten years has been American Idol. This program is a modern version of the old TV talent shows of the past. Its hopeful contestants compete for the opportunity to be named American Idol for the current year. As a result of the show's success over the past ten years, many of the hopeful singers have been launched into stardom and fame.
Each presentation begins with initial tryouts in various cities of the U.S. In this phase of competition, we are introduced to a series of comedies with the exposure of some contestants who lack little or no musical talent but are willing to make fools of themselves to grab a moment of notice on TV. It also includes contestants who really believe they have talent, when in reality they do not.
It amazes me how unrealistic some people become regarding their own obvious lack of talent and ability.
Becoming successful with any venture requires that we match our innate gifts with the appropriate endeavors toward those talents. That is why it is so critical to make certain we understand who we are and how God has made us. Everyone has some talents and abilities that, if properly developed in those gifted areas, can produce success.
There is a critical need to learn and cultivate the strengths we are born with and to recognize the areas of life in which we are not gifted. These are the first steps necessary to move towards true success.
