Abilities are an aspect that I haven’t focused on much. No doubt there are many great qualities out there in the world. But what out there is the best way to be improving your abilities? This question has been asked many times before and there are tonnes of people out there willing to share their advice with you.

Some people will talk about how you need to overcome your own fears, anxieties and other mental blockades.

Others will advise to seek out mentors and get a guiding hand.

Or maybe you’ll need to be looking out for new challenges that push you to improve your abilities and skills.

All of these things are fantastic ideas. However, they all pale in comparison to this one trick to improve your abilities tremendously. This trick is a simple phrase:

Willingness to improve rather than rely on your own current abilities.

As unusual of a sentence that is, it makes a lot of sense the more you think about it. For example, if you want to be improving your abilities in driving a car, you have to start driving a car. This logic is true with everything in life. But behind that specific action is a willingness.
