Do not design your entire life around your current weaknesses.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

There is a difference between accommodating a weakness and organising your entire life around it. The second means every decision routes around a limitation you may not even have tested recently, and over the years the accommodation becomes a set of walls. Some weaknesses genuinely need designing around. Most are worth challenging first.

List what you avoid because you believe you are bad at it. Pick one and give it three months of honest effort. You may confirm the weakness, which is useful, or you may find you have been building around something that would have yielded.
