REFLECTION
Being naturally good at something was not earned, which is exactly why it arrives as a question rather than a prize. The ability turned up; what you do with it is the only part that is yours. People notice the gap between what someone could do and what they bother doing, and eventually so does the person. Unused ability tends to sit heavier than never having had it.
Take the thing that comes easily and add the boring work most people with that gift skip. Do the practice you have been able to avoid. The head start was given to you, and everything after the start is not.
How are you spending an ability you were simply handed?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
