Ability (Feb. 28)

You can look at professional athletes and think wow, they have so much natural ability to play this game, whatever game that might be. The reality is that everyone has that same ability, it just might not be in the exact same area as the professional athletes that you are watching. It relates in some way to potential and kinetic energy. At birth, everyone has potential ability. However, like kinetic energy, if you never take the steps towards movement the potential never turns into kinetic ability. Taking those steps looks very different for every person because everyones a bility is unique to them. For some, like the athletes they must take the steps to get their body in shape and learn the basic skills that they need in order to make that ability change from potential to kinetic. In much the same way, wherever your ability may be, you need to develop the skills to make your ability come to life. It may be physical or it may be that it comes in the realm of formal education. Whatever it is, work hard to make sure that your ability is not left as potential.
