Doing Trumps Natural Ability

There is a lot to be said for natural ability.

One of my older brothers is ultra intelligent.  He did well in school without trying.  I’ve always thought of him as a born inventor.  He was always thinking up stuff when we were young.  Good with cars, could build things, was creative and had a real spirit of excellence about him.

Perhaps more than all that – he was a people person.  People were drawn to him.  They just liked him and enjoyed being around him.  And not just young people – folks from all walks of life.

If anyone had a foundation to build on, he did.

But he didn’t.

All the natural ability in the world won’t mean a thing if you don’t DO something with it.

This is so true. I see people with great ideas, and great talent, but unless you do something with it, it means nothing. Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m doing a lot of work for nothing. Although it’s not true, I am working towards a goal, I just gotta get motivated and stay focused.

So, I have a huge list of things to do over the next six weeks. I just took on a huge project at work, and it was given to me because people thought I have some natural ability. Now I have to follow through. I’m intimidated, but totally diving in to get it done.
