Abilities — let’s be clear — you have a few, and you don’t have many.

And, there is nothing to worry about.

Those “few” and “many” can make a lot of difference in yours and others’ lives.

The key is to be aware of the ones you have and make use of them in such a way to compensate for the ones you don’t have.

That will be your win. That will ensure progress.

If you know your abilities, great. If you don’t, that’s wonderful too, because then you can chart out the path of identifying yourself.

The realization of what your abilities are and what abilities you don’t have, both are moments of self-awareness.

Looking at the negative is easy. Whether you see it in yourself or others, that’s a comfort zone. That gives pleasure.

Looking at the positives is difficult. Always. It needs a conscious effort. It needs a hard look. It needs a big heart.

Want to test?

  • Make a list of the abilities you have.
