Being talented, being good at many things can sometimes be harmful. Why is that, you may ask? Well, even if you didn’t I’m going to answer.

I’ve always been the type that I pick up on things fairly quickly. Don’t mean to come across as arrogant; just speaking factually. My brain is extremely analytical so I can intuitively examine a process, a system, the way a person runs a department, etc. and immediately find ways to improve it. (Worth noting, this does not always cause one to be very popular…)

It took me a long time to come to the realization that just because you are good at something doesn’t mean you are meant to do it. Possessing a talent or having a certain skill is not the same thing as feeling passionate about something. Excelling at a  job simply means you’re good at it.

If you are a talented individual, don’t allow that to become a crutch. Find your passion. Chances are you’ll be good at that too.
