This week, a post from actress Reese Witherspoon went viral. She talks about speaking to a young woman seeking advice for a career change. When asked what she was best at, the woman drew a blank. She had never really thought through it before. The advice Reese gave makes a ton of sense. “Chase your talents, not your dreams.” How true.
Take the time to think through things you do well that may not come as easily to others. This is where you may be able to provide the most value and will in turn be what brings you the most meaningful and lasting careers options. If you want to be successful, talents almost always trump dreams.
