At one point in life or another we may have wished we were wired differently. Maybe you wish you had the entrepreneurial spirit of a Steve Jobs, or Jeff Bezos. Perhaps you wish you understand numbers like Warren Buffett, or could nimbly dribble around opposing players like Lionel Messi. Sometimes we long for the strengths of others because we're told by society we should or because the marketplace places a high premium on those skill sets.
But it's also important to recognize the talents you have that don't come as easily to others. Maybe your gift is understanding people, or patience. It might be working with children, or listening. Just because your abilities are not as glamorous doesn't mean they aren't of great value.
Identify your strengths, be grateful for them, find ways to build upon them, and then find someone to add that value to.
