Can Your Natural Gifts Change Over Time?
The answer depends on what we mean by "change." People develop. Their environments change. Their knowledge expands. Their confidence increases. They encounter new tasks and discover capabilities that were previously invisible.
Not every new skill is a newly created natural gift
An ability that was once weak can become strong through learning. An ability that once received little attention can become central to a person's life. But it is useful not to treat every newly learned skill as a newly created natural gift.
What actually can change
Underlying tendencies; learned skills; accumulated knowledge; changing interests; changing opportunities; changing ways of expressing capability.
Profile changes over a lifetime
Your profile of useful capabilities can change substantially over a lifetime even if the original question of "naturalness" is difficult to define precisely.
You may be using abilities every day without having a clear language for them.
