It seems like so many don't think so. People work their whole lives away for money, possessions, clothing, houses. It seems like so few spend time to realize those talents, much less develop them !
What do you think ?

If more people followed their hearts and developed their talents instead of pursuing wealth, we would have the world that God intended for us.

Aaaah... The talents.....
Talents were also symbolically called "coins"......
They were not to be spent on worthless things....
Whatever "talent" or "coin" which was given you ought be used for the good of society..... not to be kept to ones self......
Whatever that "talent" is.... is not easy to find to the selfish..... But, the sincere seem to always find it..........
If your "talent" is one of the seven spiritual "gifts", then it is supposed to be used to attract people unto the word of God for the sake of the "Church"......
Some used to think that the following Scripture gave mediums and witches the right to practice their "arts".....
1 Corinthians 12:7
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
The "profit" which is spoken concerning the "gifts" or the "talents" is for the benefit of the "Church"....... it is given EVERY man to profit the church....
But, not all will use it for such a purpose.....

Yes it is, its is one way to appreciate what God has given us....To develop it , is the chance to enhance expertise tha may led us to progress our financial capacity.. like having talent in painting, drawing, singing etc... It could even led us to be popular.... Then extend it to others , help them develop or explore their talents too... One person helping another makes God smiles.

You hone your God given talents so you can get money for housing, clothing, and other necessary items. You are honing them, you are honing them so your children can enjoy a bright and possibly easier future and fun time as a child.

By all means hone those talents, but always remember that it was not from god.
