In my previous articles I mentioed we all have skill and talents. Some people can easily figure out their skills or talents but some finds it hard to know what they are good in.
Here are some tips to explore yourself?
1. Note down everything you do, everyday before going to bed. Start from waking up till going back to bed. Dont't forget to mention the date. Just jot down. Do it for a couple of week. If you are curious a week is also fine, but I suggest you to wait for atleast couple of weeks.
2. I am sure you have number of things on the list. If you take daily job, your day must be the work. What about evening or perhaps the late evening? What you did on holidays or weekends? What I am saying is there are things which you have to and also things that you do just because you feel happy or you enjoy doing it.
3. There it is. What you do at your own time must be your hobby, if it makes you happy or enjoy. If your still not sure about your hobby then ask from your family members. I suggest you to ask from your mom. Your mom know you better than anyone else. If your still not sure about your hobby ask from your friends. If you don't have idea friends are a good source.
4. So, I am sure you understand your hobby now. But you still have to do some home work. Be true to yourself. You must be very straightfarward. Confusing?? Here it is. Your hobby might be watching TV. But that is not enough if you want to offer it to another person in exchange for money. WHY? Your watch TV? Then you can offer only TV. But do you thik you can offer a TV. No. To offer a TV you must be an expert of TV. But here your saying your hobby is watching TV. But it is in fact NOT. Tell me exactly what you watch, which channel, movie, or time etc. Be very specific. The more you define your hobby the better chance of offering it to another person to exchange for money. For an example, You watch ESPNSTAR sports and to be more specific football or English Football or EPL.
5. What about skills and talents? Have you ever heard your friends, office colleagues, boss saying "Oh. (Dude)! you are the man" or "I know you can do it". Do you remember you mom or family members saying "Oh, that's my son/daughter"! or "I love you, son/daugther"? If you do remember it then you are done. If not try to do several things before your friends and mom untill you hear it.
If you remember it, then think a little and bit and note down why they said it and when was it? Ask couple of question first to yourself. Ofcourse your family or friends will be happy to tell you why they said this. Ask them as well. You must be very clear now. That is your skill and natural talent. Have a book and write/draw step by step on what is in your mind when you practice your skill or talent. (NOTE: THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. SO DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE OR DRAW HOW YOY PERFORM OR WHAT IS IN YOUR MIND WHEN YOU DO IT) Try to do it couple of times till I write the NEXT STEP. Rember practice makes you perfect.
Untill then BYE for now.
