We spend most of our youth in an educational system that tests us on our ability to do well in just a handful of things. This causes many of us to grow up thinking that we lack the talent and the intellect to succeed in
life. When in reality, it might be because we were simply being tested on things that
we don't have an affinity for. Today I'm going to go over the 11 abilities
that exist in life. If you're someone who worries about finding their passion, watch
this video till the very end. Because you'll gain an understanding of where your strengths
lie – which will give you an idea of which direction you should go.
Now just to clarify, when I use the word ability, I'm talking about two things. These are things
that you have a natural interest in. And these are things that you probably already excel
at – even if it's just slightly more than the average person. It's also important to note that although
natural talent exists – practice and gaining experience equates to at least half of the
mastery for any of these abilities. This means that with enough effort and hard work, you
can still become pretty good at any of the 11. With that being said, let's jump right
into it. _____________________________________________________________________________ Starting off we have Musical Ability. People
who score high in this category enjoy listening to music, may learn better by listening, and
have a sharp sense for what sounds pleasant to the ear. This means that they have a knack for rhythm,
tones, melody, and can often memorize and replicate pieces of music quickly. If you
have a strong affinity for music then it probably means that you are good at playing musical
instruments, singing, or even composing music. And although this is often a skill set that
society dismisses as just a hobby – there are many career paths for people that excel
in this ability. This includes becoming a music-related content creator, working on
audio for films and videos, composing and writing music, and working on sound design
in general. ____________________________________________________________________________ Next up we have Natural Ability. People who
score high in this category usually enjoy spending time in nature, love plants and animals,
and they understand how the different compounds and elements in the world interact with each
other. This means that they have a knack for survival
skills. They can identify individual plants and species ,understand how animals behave,
and they know how everything in nature is connected. Possible career paths for someone who scores
high in Natural Ability include cooking, farming, working with animals, working with medicine,
and even working in health. Because everything related to our body is technically part of
nature. And they can also work in any field related to the environment.
_____________________________________________________________________________ The next category on our list is Movement
Ability. People who score high in this ability enjoy moving their bodies, whether it's large
explosive movements or even the tiniest and most fine-tuned of movements. They have the powerful ability to control
individual muscles in their body, allowing them to do amazing things that often deemed
impossible for the average person. The great thing about this category is that
it's heavily tied to practice. Repeating a movement literally strengthens your neuron's
ability to fire in that way. Which allows you to repeat that move faster and more accurately
over time. Possible career paths for someone who enjoys
and excels at movement are the sports, dance, fine craftsmanship, personal training, and
even martial arts. _____________________________________________________________________________ Next up, we have Interpersonal Ability. People
who have an affinity for this have a deep understanding of the relationships between
people. They can quickly read someone's body language and get an idea of how they are feeling
- and they are usually good at holding conversations. They understand human nature and how people
interact with each other. Possible career paths for someone who has
a knack for this ability include sales, creating social content (like interviews and talk shows),
event planning, relationship counseling, and even working in law enforcement. Because they
need to be able to read people. ____________________________________________________________________________ Similar to Interpersonal Ability is our next
category, which is called Intrapersonal Ability. People who have an affinity for this have
a deep understanding of themselves. They know how to look in the mirror to spot
what needs work, allowing them to reflect and adjust. This is an extremely powerful
ability that is crucial for self-improvement. Because the only way you can improve is if
you can identify what you need to work on in the first place. Now there aren't too many occupations that
focus mainly on intrapersonal ability. It's something that helps you work on yourself.
But professions like therapists, self-improvement coaches, and motivational speakers fall under
this category to some degree. _____________________________________________________________________________ Up next we have Logical Ability. People who
fall under this category can reason well. They may have some interest in math and the
sciences. But most importantly they are interested in the truth. They act on reason more than emotion. Often
feeling like the correct answer is more important than whats morally right. People who score high in this category are
excellent at solving technical problems and can usually predict whether or not something
will work with reasonably high accuracy. These people usually make great investors,
scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs. This is actually the one of the few strengths that
will increase your chances of success regardless of what career path you go down. Because it
allows you to differentiate from right and wrong.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Now that we're halfway through the list. I'd
like to take a second and quickly tell you about how you can figure out which one of
these abilities you should focus on. See, there are certain things that we grow up liking,
certain things that we naturally gravitated towards when we were kids and still do to
some degree. In order to see where your passions genuinely
lie, you have to expose yourself to a wide range of things to see what catches your attention.

_____________________________________________________________________________ Now back to the topic at hand, next up we
have Linguistic Ability. People who excel in this category have a deep understanding
of their language and the emotions that come with certain words. They are often articulate and they usually
have a vast vocabulary. They typically enjoy reading and listening
to great speakers. But most importantly - they know how to craft
messages in an engaging way - making them more influential than the average person.
People who have a knack for Linguistic Abilities can become writers, speakers, poets, copywriters,
or even translators. ____________________________________________________________________________ Up next is Digital Ability. This is one of
the newer abilities on this list because the digital world has only really risen in popularity
in the last decade or so. Most people who fall under this category are
the younger generations as they've grown up with the digital world being a huge part of
their life. They have a deep understanding how the digital world works. Social media,
SEO, marketing, memes, going viral are all things that fall under this category. Which is why occupations related to this ability
are endless. Quite frankly anything that can be done online requires some degree of digital
ability. And the demand for people with these skills is only going to increase year after
year as more and more business is conducted online. If you'd like to learn more about my experience
with the digital world you can check out a fun video about my journey which I'll include
in the description box below. ____________________________________________________________________________ Up next, we have Visual Ability. People who
score high in this category have a deep appreciation for the aesthetics. This means they can spot
what looks pleasant to the eye. They can tell which color combinations and what shapes look
good. They can also visualize and imagine complex
images in their head. Often allowing them to recreate these images on paper. Possible
career paths include architects, illustrators, animators, fashion designers, and graphic
designers for all sorts of things. ____________________________________________________________________________ Next on our list is Teaching Ability. People
who score high in this category can take complicated subjects and deliver them in such a clear
way that even young kids can understand. They can spot what someone is doing right
or wrong for the field that they specialize in. And most importantly, they gain a deep
sense of satisfaction from seeing their students grow. Possible career paths for those that fall
under this category are teaching, consulting, creating educational content, and even parenting.
____________________________________________________________________________ And finally, we have Spiritual Ability – which
is a very unique category as it's something that almost everyone gains interest in as
they age. Because it's the ability to think about the
bigger questions in life. Like what happens after we die. What's the meaning of life.
Is there god? Things like that. People who are fascinated by this category
can become philosophers, pastors or monks, or might just spend a lot of time thinking
about these things. There aren't that many occupations that require a specialty in this
ability. ____________________________________________________________________________ Now, most people have an affinity for more
than one of these 11 abilities. But you must figure out which ones interest you the most.
And then try to think about what career paths make use of those abilities. This will allow you to make a good living
while doing something that you're actually interested in, which will make your work life
more fun and enjoyable. Let me know in the comments down below which
3 of the 11 resonate with you the most. I'm really curious to hear what you think your
passions might be. Besides that guys stay tuned.
