“I must not have the potential.”

And then, that’s it. There’s nothing left for you to do but meekly acquiesce in what you consider your “fate”.

the real reason we’re quick to pass the buck to “talent”
and “natural gifts” is NOT because it’s true…:

In reality, the reason we do, is because it lets us off the hook: Now consider what we often do when we see other people have great success, while we don’t…

We’re quickly inclined to throw up our hands and say:

* “It’s a gift, nobody can teach you that.”
* “I’m not as smart as they are.”
* “I don’t have the talent they have.” “Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. Our fires are damped, our drafts are checked.

We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources.”

Passion and interest while visualizing combined with the capacity to keep practicing and doing things just a little better will.
