We are often so caught up on where we need to improve but is focusing on our deficits really the best strategy to become the best version of ourselves?
I am not particularly musical. So should I spend my time and energy on getting better at reading notes, doing my scales …? Will I enjoy this? Will I ever become really good? Probably not.
Would it be a better idea to focus on what comes natural to me? On sports, on connecting with people, on creating visions and strategies? You bet!
Of course sometimes there are deficits that are show stoppers and these you absolutely need to address but to a level that is good enough. Save the mastery for your talents ⭐
