“Truth is, the things you’re naturally good at never feel special. Meanwhile, the stuff that is difficult for you but you got better at feels impressive and mysterious, even though you’re probably quite average at it. It took me too long to realize: your gift will never feel like a gift to you. It feels too easy, too obvious—like a secret everyone should know but somehow doesn’t. But that’s exactly why it’s your gift: it’s not anybody else’s.”
