Buried Talent
It was once wisely observed that “Success is not measured by what you are compared to others; success is measured by what you are compared to what you could be.” (Bill Gothard) If you haven’t yet watched the short film “Buried Talent,” please take a look. It illustrates two common problems: One, comparing ourselves to others … and two, being scared or unwilling to fully use the talents that we’ve been given. Have you ever encountered one or both of these obstacles to your success? What do you think about the quote above? Watch Buried Talent now >>

- What We Believe
I have no idea who I am or what I seem to be to others. :(
I feel the same way. It seems like I’m just existing and going on with life, not really having any goals in mind, and feeling worthless.
I thought it was just me!! I feel like I’ve done everything I know how to do, but Life keeps going on and I feel aimless. I’m 68 years old!!!
Let go of the wheel..the drive to control is very toxic for creativity. I have done better in my life when all is freflowin..was homeless and didnt worry about a place to live just talked with some stranger and waht do you know..I had aplace..let it all go..past present and future…aimless…who said we needed to go somewhere other than a place in our mind..fredom is in the mind not the body or location. relax stop the clock you are on. Time is relative have fun and thats what it will be fun.
If you have a computer or access to a computer, believe it or not, you are ‘well off’, you have more stuff and your needs are met more than 3/4 of the world’s population. If you serve someone, do for others, write them encouraging letters, trust me, you will feel so much better when you turn your focus outward than inward!!
I think this short movie really shows how we don’t use what we have. We think that people and God are looking for something out of us that we don’t have or can’t give. I know that i am a teacher, and i try to use it in whatever way i can. One thing i know is that u can teach in more ways than one, so im using it wherever i can and wherever its needed.
What I observed in this film is that ,it focuses on the unused capability what we have and ready to use. But I would like to emphasis that most of us do not know the way of utilization but most importantly we can not measure what we have. From my understanding, the positive attitude of utilization will be revealed our potentials to us.
I ran away from home when i was eight, in foster care for eleven years, married for 23 years. I have no family support or encouragement in anything I do whether it is work or art. I have no one who calls and visits from family. I get criticized for working with cops. I lie to myself saying i am blessed to not have to deal with the criterion they would give my. All I want is… you know I don’t know any more. I’m just sad because I am a good person. I am just alone and don’t matter.
