Have you met multi-talented people who are confused about what to do with their multiple talents? They are confused about which talent they should prioritize and which should be ‘side hustles’. It soon looks like the blessing of being multi-talented is a curse!

Sometimes, being multi-talented presents a dilemma. On one hand, it allows individuals to possess diverse skills and interests. On the other hand, it can lead to confusion and an inability to commit to a single path of progress, as the challenge of focusing creates a burden. Being multi-talented could lead to a sense of uncertainty as to which path to follow or feeling pressured to specialise in one area. Consequently, the internal conflict can lead to stress and a lack of fulfillment.

Living in a world that celebrates specialisation is one reason multi-talented individuals feel inadequate if they do not conform to that expectation. The pressure to choose a single career path can be overwhelming. Many multi-talented individuals may encounter skepticism from peers and mentors who suggest they must focus on one area. This pressure could lead to confusion and failure if they cannot meet these societal standards.

If you are one of such people, don’t let the issue bother you anymore. Recognising one’s confusion is a first step in the right direction. Begin to embrace and celebrate your diverse talents and skills rather than viewing them as a burden. Developing a personal strategy for managing these talents can alleviate confusion.
