Find What You’re Good At: Quick Life Advice

“How do you find what you’re good at?” is the wrong question.

The hard truth is we all suck in the beginning. And that’s ok. It is a default status you cannot control.

We are not typically born with talents or gifts. We may be born with access or with good parents. We may be born without these things. What we are born with is the ability to decide.

To choose.

To commit.

You don’t find what you are good at. You decide what you want to be good at, you do it, and you never stop doing it. You focus on what brings you joy or opportunity and you simply start.

Not everything you start will come easily and the things that are easier for you to learn are probably the best things to lean into. But to find out what you’re good at, you simply have to do it for an extended period of time.

Good comes from doing.
