The choice is up to you to do with your life what you will.
If you chose to develop the talents you were given, rather than what you desire, you are sure to be on the right path. God has plans for your life, very good plans, and the choice is yours as to whether or not to allow God’s will into your life.
Remember that we all have only a short time here on earth, in this one life that we are given. We should all give our lives to the Lord God, but it takes time for many to come to realize this. Any time that we are given is from God, and He will not force anyone to do His Will. However, we can know that if we choose God, that He is well pleased and will give us a Way after death to a new life eternal with Him. See John 11:24-26
For more information, see Matthew 25:14-30, The Parable of the Talents.
