Origins of Talent

It’s said that one life time is just a chapter in the book of the soul. I believe we carry our special talents over with us from previous lives. Last year I met an exceptionally gifted singer and it was interesting to discover his journey as a musician started in childhood. When I look back at my own life I read my first personal development book at the age of eleven, I wonder was it fate it was incorrectly filed in the children’s section or was I drawn to it. It felt very natural to learn about the mind, about meditation and visualisation. I think this notion of ‘carrying over’ applies to our personality traits too; whatever is strongest about you - the comments people who don’t know you first make when they meet you, for example the most common description of me is ‘You’re so calm’, it’s even become a little boring to hear!
