Talent doesn't always express itself right away.
Some people's talent is that they are a high responder to training/learning. They need to spend the time doing the work before they can fully express their gift.
We tend to overvalue those who show great initial promise.

I love that the Atlanta based all-star attendees booed the Mets and Phillies players. Even in an all-star game they gotta be loyal to their tribe. #allstargame #mlb

Separate your identity from what you do
When you tie your identity too closely to what you do, anytime you fail at that thing, you will take it as a failure of your true self. It won't be that I failed at running. It will I am a failure
