What I have gradually learned is that it is not your strengths, but your combination of strengths that set you apart.*
James Clear

a gift is also a responsibility**
Robin Wall Kimmerer

I love having conversations with people about their
superpowers,
But their noticing these talents is only the beginning;
The abilities are not an achievement list
but a story to be developed,
They’re not the “done deal”
but the whispers of possibility,
They’re not effortless
but effortful:
We don’t rise to the occasion,
we fall to the level of our training.^
