Have you ever looked at someone who just seems to be a natural at something – whether it’s sports, music, or academics – and thought, 'Why can’t I do that like they do?' Or maybe you’ve worked hard at something only to feel discouraged when someone else does it effortlessly.

It’s frustrating and disheartening. But here’s the thing – there’s a big difference between ability and aptitude. Understanding that difference can change how you see yourself and your efforts.

Today, we’re going to unpack this idea together. We’ll talk about what these terms really mean, why comparing your abilities to someone else’s natural talent doesn’t make sense, and how you can shift your mindset to focus on your own progress.

Stop comparing your hard work to someone else's. Everyone doesn't have the same ability and aptitude.
