HOW TO KNOW IF YOU'RE GOOD AT SOMETHING

When we consider the question:

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE?

It is inevitable to start thinking about the idea of ​​setting up a business on our own, in which to develop our skills, talent and potential.

In this post I will share the phases you go through, since you intuit that something can be good, until you finally recognize it with the last pore of your skin. And this can help you not only to reinvent yourself but also to get more professional opportunities in your current job.

And well, considering that the only way to know if you're good at something is to do it, again and again, again and again, again and again, here I present some phases that probably happen in all this process, so you know where you are and what you can find.

1. YOU HAVE A GOOD FEELING
   That something is good for you or that you could be good at some point. Perhaps this new path that opens up in your life is a sum of many other paths that you have traveled before with more or less success, so you feel that this could also happen this time.

So you get going, with little marbles in your stomach and the feeling that it's going to work.

Keep in mind that without this initial confidence, you would not take a step forward.

1. YOU THINK YOU ARE FATAL
   You start to take your first steps, and things start to go wrong. Your course is not targeted or perry. You see yourself overwhelmed in your first web design assignment and you do not see yourself able to meet the deadlines. You stay blank giving a face-to-face training. Your illustrations, which have always worked so well for you, now seem mediocre and are not commissioned by anyone.

At this time it is very important that you get help from someone who has traveled the same path you want to travel; that you get the support and guidance you need to take the next step.

1. YOU THINK SERIOUSLY TO LEAVE IT
   Every day you wake up with 23,468 reasons to leave. Your mantras are:

Stop making mental movies, kid.
At what time did you think this was a good idea?
You realize that it is much harder than you thought, and you think that, if it really were your thing, the Universe would already be helping you with a lot of fantastically brilliant opportunities.

But no. And every day is a p ** ta odyssey.

In this phase, you may leave it, especially if you do not have real help.

And maybe leaving it is the best option, but if you really want to do it, if everything inside you tells you it's your thing:

DO NOT LEAVE IT.

Do what you have to do. Get help, keep training, make more calls

1. DO NOT LEAVE IT, BUT FEEL THAT YOU ARE A FRAUD
   You fear the moment when your brother-in-law asks you in the family meal how it is going with your project. Because you know that you will only succeed in babbling unconnected ideas, you will try to make it seem much more interesting than you really think it is, and finally you will give some excuse to justify why you have not yet taken your project forward.

I've been there, believe me.

And I assure you that the only way to get out of this miserable phase, which is really wonderful, is: move on . Continue drawing. Continue designing. Continue touching. Continue forming. Continue programming. Continue sewing. Keep singing. Keep writing. Continue giving to the REC.

EVERYDAY.

1. NOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOOD
   You know what petas, come on. Because this is the inescapable result that you overcome phases 2, 3 and 4 and move on.

When you reach the magical moment in which enough passion + enough persistence + more enough practice => you have become very good at what you have chosen to do. Ooh yeah.

And that's cool Because you also feel it inside you as a certainty. A certainty that can not be copied. Or pretend

You feel good with your super-power and do not miss the opportunity to share it openly with the world. And this is a good indication because before you did not feel capable or safe enough to do it. This is how you can recognize that you are truly good at something.

Enjoy it. And celebrate it. It is a special moment, which does not arrive overnight, but when you are there, you know that all the effort has been worth it.

Now is the time to take a bold step with your business, or go talk to your boss.

What do I do with my life

And that you have reached stage 5 does not mean that you never return to the previous ones. As long as you keep moving forward, you will go back many times, but each time you will get better and feel less overwhelmed. I assure.

If you feel you are stuck in one of the miserable phases, raise your head, stand erect, smile.

This is not easy, but you have more resources than you think.

Keep going.
