I’d been distracted by talent.*
Angela Duckworth

Unless your talent is one that keeps you focused on the matter in hand,
No matter what,
Then talent won’t be enough.

It may seem a little strange for me to be telling you this;
I’ve been working with people and their talents since 2005.

Reality is,
You need to keep turning up,
Whatever the “weather.”
There’s always the possibility that “this” might not be for you to be considered,
But if you’re sure, then you have to keep going,
Disappointment after failure after hurt.

It’s what grows talents into strengths.
