wrote this post few days ago on Made For Something Great and I felt alot of us envy other people's talent because we fail to develop or improve or own so we tend to look at others and wish we had them forgetting that they had gone through the process of upgrading, improving, developing themselves. It's just like raw gold it looks ugly, dusty, worthless but when it goes through fire it becomes polished to what we see and love as real gold.
In most cases a lot of people around the world have similar talents. As you are not the only one with the gift of marketing, hairdressing, singing, tailoring and so on you only have you own uniqueness in that area. That's why you have to be your best to be relevant in what you are doing it more like being the best version of yourself. This are some tips to help develop your inner self and to be the best you can be.
** 1. The fear of failing **
A lot of us fail to start what we are meant to start because of the fear of failing. Most times because it a new venture, look profitable but no one has ventured into it before so you scared, it could be that you are scared that your talent is not relevant and I would do you little or no good if you venture into it. Basically all this are feelings, fear feelings that just want to stop you from greatness , one of the best ways to be the best of yourself is to do what you are made for. It's just like a mallet doing the work of a hammer and vice versa.
** 2. Start from the bottom **
In as much much as its important to start, to take that step of a thousand miles. It's also important to know where to start. Most times you need to know and follow the whole growing process in other to stay at the top. If possible Start from as low as you can, more like ABC to making sentences with a thousand words.
** 3. Stop pleasing everyone **
The reason most of us are not doing what we are made for is because my dad or my mum, auntie, friend grandad wants me to be this. Some of us are on the right track but beacuse everyone have their own advice to give on how to be better we fail to look inward, within ourself. We do this things because we want to please them, forgetting that you can't completely please them. I think is high time you follow your heart and stop the pleasing game.
**4. Procrastination **
I wrote a post an procrastination some time ago. Procrastination one of the greatest killers of dreams. As we know time waits for no one therefore the best time to act is now. Fun fact you might not get the perfect situation, environment to start so you keep procrastinating, start now and you would see things would adgust over time.
** 5. Stop the critics **
If you are always criticizing people at the top you might never get there. As on of the best ways to grow is if someobe from the top pulls you up it could be by either mentoring or financing. Am not saying if you see something wrong with the system and you air out your view is bad am saying you should not be buttered about the top dogs rather you should create a system ,platform that would change the wrong you see instead of criticizing
** 6. Knowing you are the best version of yourself**
Positive thinking is virtually everything. We need to lose all those bad feeling, negative thoughts and let it all the positivity we can as most times what we see and believe is what we attract. Also knowledge is power we are only limited to what we know. Knowing that you can be the best you can be is like a stepping stone to your greatness as your eyes would be focus on the top not to settle for anything less because you know what you are made for.
It's awesome, wonderful, cool to believe but it's not enough if you don't act as faith without works is dead. You can be the best version of yourself if you can just put in that little effort to be what you desire. Whatever you do learn to be happy at it. Have a wonder filled weekend
