I realize this title ain’t proper grammar, but it’s time to give ourselves permission to get good at what we’re good at!

Why do we choose to punish ourselves trying so hard to be good at what we’re not?

…try to knit when we’d rather sew

…take up jogging when we’d rather bike

…build furniture when we’d rather refinish it

…study math when we’d rather read and write

…attempt customer service when we’d rather be back stage

…etc, etc, etc…

There’s a time and place for everything, but why waste our time and energy pursuing what we’re not interested in anyway, because we feel obligated, or mom or dad wanted us to do that, or that’s all we learned how to do.

This can apply in all areas of our life, from hobbies, chores, vocation and vacation!

We need to switch gears in our thinking, get over the guilt of what we can’t or don’t like to do, and be a peace with and do what we really like to do and are good at.

Find and discover YOU. It may take some time, reflection, trying different things, and asking others what they see in you, but it’s never too late to start on a new journey. You will know you when you find you. You will be happier. You will feel satisfied with your work even though it will be challenging. You will do a better  job. You will think of ways to improve your skills because you want to. Your work will matter to you, and it will benefit and help others in some capacity. It will be your work and you will be proud of it.
