#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Do you really have to be a “natural” to succeed?

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Do you have to be a "natural" to achieve success? Let me say something that might surprise you. Being a "natural" is one of the most overrated ideas in personal growth. As highly sensitive and introverted people, we think deeply. We observe. We measure ourselves quietly against others. And too often, we decide — silently — that if we’re not instantly good at something, it must not be meant for us. That belief has stopped more sensitive people than lack of talent ever has. Have you ever wanted to try something new — get in shape, start a creative project, learn a subject, speak up more confidently — but held yourself back because you weren’t immediately comfortable?

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Are you asking the wrong questions about your life? As highly sensitive people and introverts, we tend to ask a lot of questions.But more questions don’t automatically lead to better answers. Here’s the uncomfortable possibility:Sometimes we’re asking the wrong questions—the ones that keep us thinking, but not changing.
