We all become anxious about our future at some point, as to what we want to pursue, how to find our passion, how to find our dream career, what will be the basis of our earnings, and so on. It thus becomes very important to discover our talents and passion.

Every one of us has different and unique talents. Being talented does not particularly mean that you have to be good at playing instruments, singing, painting, etc. talent can refer to any quality that you possess, and especially today, when the world is open to n number of possibilities, you can build a career in anything you like.

There are many different kinds of talents; being an understanding person and a good listener, being a good conversationalist, writing, self-management, a better decision-maker, or if you have a knack for telling jokes. All these qualities should also be counted in as talents.

It is very important to realize the fact that EACH ONE of us innately has some quality or the other and our only task is to discover it and brush it, to make a career out of it. As young people we must get our hands in as many things as we can, we must never deny learning anything and try to grasp everything present in our reach. Youth is the time when we can learn things very quickly and efficiently. It is the time to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is never too late to get started, explore and experience new and different things; you might knowingly or unknowingly hit on something fresh and overwhelming.

Another very important thing is to take the FIRST STEP. Once you take the first step everything will gradually fall into place. Once you start there’s no going back and if your efforts are sincere even if your pace is slow, success will become inevitable. There will be times when you hit rock bottoms and face adversities, challenges, criticisms, doubts, etc. but the drill is to put on a smile and come back stronger than ever.

In this journey to find your path, you will face dark clouds and strong winds, but only if you endure these, you will be able to find your true path. If you become defeated by these challenges then you may divert from the actual path and will face regret in your later life.

You must decide on one thing that you really like and then advance towards achieving it, gradually you will find your dream career. Your true potential will only emerge when you consistently work towards your talent. Your goal in life should be clear because vague goals lead to vague results. When your goals are not clear you will not be able to focus on them.

Always remember that half hearted efforts does not lead to half results, they lead to no results. So whatever you do, do it with all your heart and soul.

Firsts are always difficult but once you take the first step the beautiful path that lies ahead of you will start revealing its beauty, just don’t hurry; be at your own pace but just be in the correct direction.

UNTIL NEXT TIME!

HAPPY LIVING!
