Hi everyone is Kaysonger.

Just a reminder that you can listen to all of our podcast ad free on the Headspace

app. Space Studio. Hi, my name is Andy, and welcome to Radio Head Space, and a Friday morning. So a few days back I was reading an article and it was an article written about

very famous Olympian an Olympian that there's one countless medals gold medals across a number of Olympic Games.

And as I was reading this, one thing in particular,

really stood out.

And that was that this person said that they had no natural ability for what they did.

And I thought about that and I think most of us we look at people we admire in life,

we look at whether it's in sport or art or music or

cooking or whatever it might be. We assume that yeah okay they've had some

lessons, they've learned, they practice a lot, but they probably have some kind of natural ability.

And it was hard to believe, you know. It was a cyclist by the way. It was Chris Hoy, who people on the other side of the pond

are more likely to recognize that name but that was really interesting and he said

that you know it was more through his life that he had to uncover it and find it. And I thought that was a really interesting idea for all of us. I'm not suggesting

that there's an Olympian in all of us necessarily, but the idea that we might have to

discover and uncover our talent rather than necessarily be predisposed to a

particular talent.

I feel like as life goes on, we become perhaps, not always.

Maybe it's just because of the way our lives are as well.

They tend to be busier and there's more responsibility and everything else.

But we tend to stick to the things that we know. We tend to stick to the things that we like

doing. We kind of, you know, I don't say shut down, but we maybe don't try as many new things as we might
