Skills vs. talents

If you can learn it, it's a skill.


If it's important, but innate, it's a talent.


The thing is, almost everything that matters is a skill. If even one person is able to learn it, if even one person is able to use effort and training to get good at something, it's a skill.


It's entirely possible that some skills are easier for talented people to learn. It's entirely possible you don't want to expend the energy and dedicate the effort to learn that next skill.


But realizing that it's a skill is incredibly empowering and opens the door of possibility.


What are you going to learn next?
