Finding yourself

So am sitting on my bed, with my laptop in my lap, browsing through Google and guess what am searching for? "How do you know what you are supposed to do in life?".......Seriously that was the question I typed.

This question has been bugging me ever since I discovered that Justin Beiber (17 years old), who is well quite younger than I am, please note that I said quite, because am most definitely young too at least I think that don’t judge me ok! But any way Justin was worth $53million as of may 2011, and I was like “oh my, what am I waiting for, anyone can become truly successful just doing what they love”.

But truth be told, I already knew that even before I found out about Justin he only just reminded me of that truth.

So I asked myself what does being truly successful mean to me. And I answered of course true success to me is having real happiness and peace, it is being able to inspire impact and influence people rightly. It’s living your own life the way you want it to the fullest, living by your own principles and standards, not by what people think, tell you or do. To me success is so so much but I will just stop here for now.

Am sure you will be asking already “what is it you are you trying to say?” well here is what I am saying.

If you are someone like me who finds himself in a position asking this same question "how do you know what you are supposed to do in life?", first of all will tell you that you have no need to worry.

President Obama once said “Life’s an endless journey, and you never really start living till you start loving whatever you do”......nahhh!! Am just messing with you, I said that. My point is ask yourself what is that one or two things or whatever I love doing?, what is that thing I do with total ease?, what is that thing people can always say “Hey! you know what. I think he can do it”, or “she can do it”. Please don’t get me wrong here, because I know someone is already thinking “hey I can eat 20 hotdogs in one sitting or Am so awesome in sleeping”, I know we can all do that.

Seriously though ask yourself and when you eventually find that thing build on it, For example I like writing and I do it with ease so am building on it by blogging.

Secondly let people know what you can do, If Steve Jobs the former C.E.O of apple (God bless his soul), created his gadget and then used it only in his room and told nobody about it he wouldn’t have been the world Icon he was today. So let people in, tell them am so good at this or that and don’t hold back. Before I forget let me also mention that the people you hang around really matter, your friends really do matter, if you want to be something great hang with great and alike minds. Ever noticed that the many prominent people now were friends back in the days before they became successful? Well if you haven’t I have.

 Finally I will leave you with this, so think on it. Most successful people who have truly found themselves have done so mainly because they were dedicated to serving people and to meeting the needs of others, I said most not all. Many business tycoons became who they are because they saw a need and then went ahead to meet the need, It is the easiest way to find yourself and to truly know who you are. So look out for that one need everywhere you go and surely you will find it.

Whooa!! Am hungry now, off to find something to eat, Peace....
