The fact that your parents spent many years of their life
slogging away at a job they dislike, does not imply that you have to follow the
same step. Everyone has given talents and natural ability.
If one is committed to the wrong career, it can have long
term effects on him/her personal life in terms of happiness, lifestyle, health,
and even social life. Therefore, think carefully before diving into any venture
or accept any offer. You do not have to sacrifice your natural given talents
just to please someone or just to meet the expectations of your peers, parents,
etc. This is because no matter how much effort you invest in your career or the
amount of time spent, it will not bring you fulfillment in life like following
your natural given talent.
For instance, the choice is yours to choose what to study for
your career, you are expected to make a choice at least at the age of eighteen
as the case may be. Although the majority don’t know what they want at this age. As a result, most people follow their friends into the materialistic dream
life. We need not be confused about our life passions with our possessions. The
effect of not knowing your natural given talent will make life becomes very
boring for you and it is not so easy just to jump out when you are depressed.
The long-term effects of working outside your natural given
preference and ability will reduce your performance drastically, it may also
cause you to stress yourself unnecessarily making you ill in some cases. This
may result in depression, burn out, and exhaustion in the long run. Find a job
that energizes and inspires you, where you can use your natural given talents
to gives your life a sense of purpose. Live your dream and follow your natural
given talents. You don’t have to be someone else or be like your friends,
parents or relative, just be yourself and slave away from little or no return
for your emotional well-being.
Once you discover your natural given talent then it is up to
you to find out what your primary goal in life is so as to maximize your
natural given talent.
Be honest to describe
exactly what you can do naturally and completely. Don't fudge or list what you
can’t do. This is the only way you will get to know your natural given talent
and satisfactory yourself. After all, if you cheat on your answers, who are you
cheating? Go look in the mirror, and think about it.
In the working world, there are many offers and incentives
such as money, recognition, securities, and opportunities to keep you there.
Many people feel smothered and trapped by their careers and fear to take that
vital step to financial freedom. Time, energy and money are all factors to take
into consideration when making such a big decision. After all, a great deal of
money has been invested in establishing your career and many feel this would
be a waste of time.
Don't be discouraged from using your natural given
talent/ability to help the people around you. However small it may be to you,
you have it so as to give it as a gift to others.
Talents/Gifts/Natural ability is given so as to give it back
again to others. Any gift given to you naturally is to be multiplied in different ways. Think not of the cost or what you have sacrificed in other to
improve your given talent but think only of the possibilities and benefit of
being a help to others. The invitation to receive is to give. So, give that you
may receive.
