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.

range of things to see what catches your attention. Which is why this episode was brought to you

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.
____________________________________________________________________________
