How To Find Your Strengths

Do you know what you are good at? Do you know what you can do better than other people?

If you do not know, you are not alone. Be patient with yourself. Be patient with the process of your own self-discovery.

You can’t figure it out overnight. Self-discovery is a journey. It takes time.

To really know what you are good at, you must challenge yourself. You must get out and search for it. You do that by talking to real people, people who are not afraid to tell you what you are good at, what you do better than other people.

Pay attention to your feelings. Pay attention to what makes you happy. Do not dilute your self-discovery with other people’s dreams. Self-discovery is a personal thing. It is not a global thing.

It is your own thing. When you focus on finding out what you are good at, what makes you happy, you start to do what you have not done before. You start to train your mind for tough things. You start to think like your future self.

Because when you train your mind to believe in what you are doing, your life begins to change.

But it is not going to change if you are not committed to making it happen. Do not forget that great things happen when we commit ourselves to them.

You can. You are in charge. You are responsible for changing your life.

If you are serious about finding out what you are good at, you must first get out of your comfort zone.

If you do not leave your comfort zone, nothing is going to change.

If You Want To Really Live Your Life, You Must Stop Preparing To Live

Tomorrow will not change if you are not ready to take action today. Preparation is the beginning of growth, but not the end of growth. If you want to change things, prepare to succeed, not to fail. Too much preparation can lead to failure. Because success comes from knowing when to stop preparing. You cannot prepare all your life. It is time to start doing something. Don’t hide your gifts, bring them out. Don’t use preparation to delay your life. It is good to prepare, but don’t prepare forever.

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Tomorrow will be like today. Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.” It is time to start living. Stop preparing for what you already know. Start doing what you have trained yourself to do. Without action, preparation is useless. If you know you are not ready to go to work, why are you getting ready? You get ready, then you go. You prepare, then you act. Remember, “Knowing is not good enough; you must do. You must act. You must apply what you know.” If you want to change yourself, your life, you must act.
