Nurture your nature.

Look at a person with discipline. Observe them closely. You’re most likely to see someone secure and successful. Discipline is a steadying force. In good times and in bad. When you have the advantage and especially when you don’t. 

The same can’t be said for talent. A person with lots of talent is no more likely to be secure and successful than a person with average talent. Because talent isn’t a choice. It’s potential. It’s what can be capitalized on with enough of the right discipline.

Everyone has talents in one form or another. Certainly some have more than others.  I’d rather have more of it than less but that’s not up to me. Your talent isn’t up to you either. You choose your attitudes not your abilities. You choose the level of discipline you live with not the level of talent you were born with.

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
