Nobody is born great.
We all start off as equals: tiny infants who can’t do much on their own. Forget about beautiful paintings, elegant singing and persuasive writing that sells itself; we can’t even smile yet!
Later on in life, we often get frustrated with ourselves when we’re first trying to learn a new skill. We expect to be naturally good at it. We expect this skill to come easily.
What we forget is that every single skill that comes easily to us now wasn’t easy at all when we were first born.
It’s no effort to feed yourself now. Pick up food; place in mouth. You don’t even think about it. But when you were an infant, you picked up the spoon over and over and missed your mouth entirely. You did it all the time.
You did it until you finally mastered that skill.
