Discover Yourself

Do you know yourself? Well you are lying if you say yes. We keep thinking that if I were this or that, I would've done this and that. But we never think what we can do best by being what we are now. We talk so many things about others, but the fact is that we don't know what we are.

To quote a personal experience in this case, I once enrolled my name for all cultural events of my college, except for poetry thinking its not my game. But my dad asked me to just give a trial and so I enrolled my name the next day. Later, the events took place and to my surprise I got the first prize in poetry and didn't get in any other. I never thought I could write such, that is, I didn't know the hidden talent.

Its not about knowing our character, but it is about knowing the quality of our character and knowing our capabilities. And for that we need to spend time with ourselves.

We need to know our interests, whether they are in music,sports,literature, any art or technology. If nothing strikes our mind, then try out everything. Find out what keeps us going on. Find out what are you good at. Say music, try playing any instrument, try singing. Say literature, take any topic and read series of great books on it, try writing articles, try poetry. Try painting, try blogging, try some small business. Come on, there are so many things under the sun! You will be good in something and you have to find it out.To find it out, you need to try out everything within your interests. You will surely be able to cope up with something or the other. Try improving yourself in it. You will start cherishing your work and who knows, gradually you may master it. This will definitely give hand at some point in your lifetime. Like, I used to scribble something in the name of poetry before, but it helped me in winning a competition, it fetched me name in the college and boosted my confidence. Thus keep trying, it will bring out your hidden talents, will bolster your self confidence and enhance personality. You'll have a self satisfaction which is very important.

When you master it, as a next bigger step,think what is the difference that you can create and go after it. It is truly said, 'Great persons don't do different things, but do things differently'.

Another factor that you must keep in mind is 'positive approach'. The man who wins is the man who thinks he can. P.T. Usha, the golden girl, says that talent is not the only mantra, self confidence too plays a major role. You may have bundles of talents, but it will be of no use unless you have a positive feeling about yourself that 'Yes, I can do it'. If you have a mind of your own, you will impress others with your self-confidence.Struggling will be a part and parcel of your work, but throughout you need to maintain positive mentality. Also, nothing can be done with polish at first. Remember, 'Rome wasn't built in a day'. Get started and get going. As you'll move on with your struggles, on each step you'll find something new in yourself which will keep triggering you to discover more in yourself. And this will be a never ending discovery. Your quest will go on and so will your search within yourself. And success? It will be yours.
