If you've got it flaunt it

If you've got it flaunt it
 
Hola a todos,

If you've got it (talent) flaunt it

Mi intento,

Si se tiene talento hay que mostrarlo

Es correcto?

Saludos desde Marshall :D

There are several ways this could be said. It depends on what the 'it' is.
In your sentence, ostentar might work better than mostrar.

Here's a saying that pertains to a person's body (good looks, etc.):
Lo que se han de comer los gusanos, que lo disfruten los humanos.

Thanks Rusty. Actually the 'it' was my supposed guitar playing prowess!

Saludos

I might be wrong, but I would use "jactar", if I understand correctly what "flaunt" means.

Taking the flaunt to be imperative, as I think it should be, and taking the it to stand for anything at all - talent, wealth, jewelry etc. -, how about

Si lo tienes, osténtalo
[or, using Chileno's suggestion, ...jáctatelo]?

...jáctate (de eso) ... alardea (de eso)
