It’s fun to ride the lightning on raw talent. You’re a natural. No need to work for it or think much about it because you’re that good and it always seems to show up. It’s a thrill. It’s a pure magical mystery. But deep down…you’re desperately hoping it will be there again when you need it. Terrified it might not be. Afraid it might leave and never come back and you won’t know how to get it back.
On the other hand…If you know how to work for it you’re more likely to be able to summon it when you need it. You’ll be able to call upon it. Because you know the pathways. You know the tricks. You know how to conjure it because you’ve worked for it, building it up. You know all the building blocks.
The thing you know how to work for becomes a reliable thing to trade on.
