You can only say you have a talent in comparison to others. The OP asks about talent, therefore it is asking us to compare ourselves to others. You can certainly strive to be the best you can be, but that won’t mean much as far as this question is concerned.
Anyway, we are meaningless without comparing ourselves to others. The problem is when we make a judgement about better or worse. It is find to compare, but it is deadly for people like me to say we are better or worse. Inevitably, we are worse, and we feel bad, and that leads to depression, which leads to death. Far better to not go down that road. Believe me, this is a survival technique and it works.
I’m not even sure I want to compare myself to myself and say I am better or worse. I really prefer to think of all activities as a process. I should enjoy the doing of them. I do not question the worth or validity of what I do. I do not worry about being better or worse than I was before. I do it because I enjoy doing it, whatever it is.
Like I enjoy giving advice. I enjoy answering questions. I’m not much good at it, but that doesn’t matter. Not that people haven’t thanked me for advice. They have. So I am aware that some people appreciate my advice on occasion. But while that is nice and it means a lot to me, I can’t let it matter. Neither can it matter that I don’t get paid to give advice, or that I’m not famous for my advice. Clearly, if I were any good at doing it, I would be sought out and paid. I’m not, and I know what that means.
But I ignore that fact. It’s the process that matters. Maybe one day someone will want to pay me to do this, but that doens’t matter, either. I need to keep on pushing on and not thinking. Just doing. Just being. When I start thinking, I start taking myself down a road that is really, really bad for me.
