Also take time to consider five myths concerning abilities, skills, and talents:

Myth 1: People aren't born with skills. All skills must be learned by experience.
Myth 2: Those skills which must be learned, are learned primarily in the classroom.
Myth 3: If you have certain abilities, you will be very aware that you have them.
Myth 4: Skills that I use at work are only useable in that environment. I couldn't use them for the glory of God.
Myth 5: Most people only have a very few abilities.

Remember: the above are MYTHS!  They are not true!  Think of the opposite, and that is true for you!
