I know! I do feel like I’ve uncovered a secret…

I agree with your assessment of jobs. While many of us can work around our limitations, it’s not easy, and there are too many jobs out there that would be a terrible fit. I feel very lucky indeed!

One demonstration I saw a while ago was to take out a pen and write a short sentence with your non-dominant hand. The point of that exercise was that while you can train yourself to do something you’re terrible at, it will always require a lot of effort and take a lot out of you. That’s what I found in my experience with work. I was doing jobs that I tried to “tough out”, but all I ended up doing was burning out. It was like writing with my right hand (I’m a lefty), but now I think I’m finally writing with my left, so to speak 😀
