Secret strengths that make life easier

Imagine you had a superpower but didn’t understand it? How much do you miss?

Whether you notice it or not, some things come to you more easily than they do to others. These are your instinctive strengths. They feel easy, so you may not even recognize them as strengths. We often overlook what we are good at naturally. Because I find it too easy to count as a real skill.
