It Takes More Than Talent

Our attitudes and thinking can have strong impacts on how well we realize our abilities.

Personal development leader Brian Tracy notes the worst beliefs we can have are self-limiting ones: "whenever you believe yourself limited in some way, or less talented than others."

We do need to be realistic, but it can be self-limiting to compare ourselves to prodigies.

Giftedness educator Sally Reis, Ph.D. comments that having many talents can be beneficial for many, but for others, they often "cannot find their niche or choose a vocational path."

Carol S. Dweck, PhD, author of the book Mindset, thinks our society tends to believe geniuses are born, not made but its clear from the histories of so many geniuses that motivation is a key component."
