Don’t waste your SKILLS!

We all have some sort of special skills, which sometime we don’t recognise because we get so comfortable with our daily routines and how we have been brought up. Our usual life situations take over everything and keep us busy with resolving the basic issues such as financial situations, which is why many people stick to 9-5 job because they have to pay bills and feed their families and they actually forget to enjoy life. First thing is the confidence in our personality, which mostly people lack. What steps are you willing to take in order to achieve your goals and find your dream career, you can still earn from this but also enjoy your life. We are all born with different talents and abilities and we can use our abilities to achieve our goals. Luck and opportunities are two different things, so don’t confuse yourself. We sometime see successful, rich people on TV and we wonder how they achieved this. But when you read about their history you come to know they started from ZERO! It’s their passion, preparation, planning and HARD WORK, which made them successful.

They are consistent in whatever they do and their priorities are clear. In fact, the most successful people I’ve ever had the chance to work with always showed and they showed up earlier than anybody else. How do I know? I was there earlier than everybody too. I always liked to be 10 min earlier than 5 min late because this would give me some time to analyse the environment. 

“I believe you should do things because you love doing it, you need to be passionate enough to follow your dreams and never do things because you have to. Wasting time and energy in trying to be ‘perfect’ will only lead to unhappiness. 

In terms of skills, It could be anything from being a brilliant Actor to an amazing Chef or a Housewife to a Doctor. It doesn’t matter because one person will always be able to do something better than others. For example I am not a good swimmer but somebody else will be winning Gold medals for this.

You will have to take risks and think out of the box in order to grow! As long as you trust in your own abilities, capacities, and judgments, you can achieve anything you want. Also remember you may not be successful straight away, its a process which cannot be built overnight. Explore your skills by spending some time alone with yourself and focus on your strengths rather than your shortcomings. I personally have experienced so many different fields because I enjoy learning and I think we learn every day something new. We should always adopt to different environments if we want to grow as an individual.

If you are confused about your skills, don’t worry  I am as well mostly 😉 so why not write it down and make a list of your hobbies, likes & dislikes. Once you have completed the list you can start short listing based on the most preferred. But remember that one answer will always be same  for all successful people they are guided by a clear personal vision. I think for a lot of ladies it is fear that holds them back. The fear of being ridiculed, criticism and failure. The fear of not becoming “successful.” The fear that we won’t live up to our own expectations. But sometimes our cultural backgrounds, family values and traditions also play a huge role. Don’t waste your potential because life is too short and will end one day. Take chances and fail but at least try. You don’t want to regret not taking chances at all

If you can become a better version of yourself each day that’s your achievement.
