Your innate ability = willingness to hustle to get (Matthew McConaughey's advice to young people:)
let’s face it, nothing great comes without a bit of sweat and grind.
Yes!! The willingness to hustle, as cliche as it sounds, but there is no shortcut in life; you need to work hard, show perseverance, and be willing to sacrifice things for the kind of life you want.
I actually feel Sahil that the trickier part is understanding the innate ability. Because I believe that the natural human drive to hustle it comes easy once it’s clear to us what that is. It’s a natural action born from the confidence of that knowledge.

Sahil Bloom So true, "What are you willing to sacrifice in order to have the chance to attain it." Because the outcome isn't guaranteed, but the work is.
90 percent of the people don't know what they want to do in life or they compromise into doing something what they don't want (usually just to pay the bills). The rest 10 percent are those who strive to become the best version of themselves and out of that 10 percent, there is 1 percent who actually succeed in their goals. But atleast those 9 percent people tried unlike the 90 percent who didn't even made an effort to change their situation.

This was me from 2000 to 2013. The importance of strong family values and support is evident in these convos. It's crucial to nurture our children's innate abilities and even more critical to help them discover their passions, guiding them to a point where passion meets opportunity. It took me years to find a customer-facing role. 11% of the US jobs are sales related, yet no training or courses are given in our school systems. hashtag#greenlights
Its interesting - I did know at 16 that I wanted to be an engineer and started that journey at 17. 40 plus years later I am still in a technical and commercial role. But I dnt think many young people are quite as single minded as I was.
I think it is very hard to understand your innate ability as a young person. While the advice is well meaning, I don't think it's great advice for a young person.
Better advice is to focus on learning by doing and paying attention to what seems to resonate with you over time. It might take a long time to understand your innate ability.
Colleen Geary Yes..it creates stress for a young person to know their innate ability at a young age. The focus should be on being useful and learning by doing.
Find what you’re naturally badass at—ya know, that thing you just do without even trying too hard. Then, pair that with what you’re willing to hustle for—because let’s face it, nothing great comes without a bit of sweat and grind. It’s all about tapping into your strengths and putting in the work. You got this!

The courage and strength you can use to hustle can make a difference between a working idea and a sitting greenfield work. You can bring your ideas to reality by utilizing your inner abilities to complement that hustle

So well said, and spot on. We can waste years focused on ‘good enough’ rather than where we can make the most impact on something that is most meaningful for each of us.
You will work your whole life. Either pick something that makes lots of money and retire early or pick something you really like. Just the best advice I ever got (at 15).
Yeah definitely, but I think the biggest problem here is to find out what your innate ability is in the first place. Most people already have made up what they want to do for the rest of their lives at really, really young ages with no room to experiment. Solid plan for a burnout
