Figure yourself out

in The MINIMALISTlast year (edited)

Today I’ll be writing about figuring out oneself, figuring out yourself and why it’s very important. Though this is my first post on this community I hope it does impact and be useful to you.

Everyone exists for a reason. Not particularly but we all exist for a purpose. Some of us have already found that purpose while some of us are still trying to and some of us are not sure.

Figuring out yourself is what will set your future for you. Knowing exactly what you want. And having a focus towards that thing. It doesn’t matter how rough the road might get…what matters is knowing where you’re heading.

One of the biggest mistakes we make in life is Waiting. Waiting until someone does it. Waiting until a particular time before we start. Waiting for someone to help us. Waiting for people to show us sympathy.

One thing is for sure if you keep waiting…you’ll keep waiting forever. If you keep waiting for that one day to become what you want to become, that one day will never come. That one day will come as a result of your actions today.

What is your purpose in this life?

Many of us went to school and studied physics but had no idea what to do with that physics. But we study it anyway. It’s the way of the country, “I just need the certificate to graduate that’s what matters” they say.

Purpose lost.

Many of us copy other people’s lives which contributes to our loss of purpose. But what you’re missing is the fact that you have to be sure of where you’re going before you start the journey of life. You cannot just wake up repeat what you did yesterday and expect different results. You cannot expect what works for me to work for you. You cannot expect to be successful tomorrow when you haven’t worked today.

What is it you want in your life? You can’t want to get rich and spend time with poor people. You can’t want to be a footballer and spend time with a basketballer. You can’t want to be an Aviator and then go to school to study biology. Many times we lose focus once we get comfortable with the jobs we get to save some cash to follow our dreams. We get comfortable and decide to let go of that one purpose we had.

You’ll lose your goal.

Figuring out yourself allows you to think out of the box. To think globally and explore. Not every successful figure you see today or know today has the same privilege you’re having right now. Most of them used their ideas to become what they had now become. If they had not been sure of what they wanted in life…they wouldn’t be where they are today.

So the question I’m gonna ask you today…do you see yourself beyond them or exactly where they are? Do you want to be invited that one day as a speaker to inspire thousands or millions around the world? You can’t just dream it, You have to work for it also. You have to follow in the footsteps of your role models.

You can’t expect to be like Bill Gates when you’re at school studying physics.

Know your space. Be around people who are heading to the destination you’re looking for. I’m not saying you should be mean or rude to others no no…you can associate and surround yourself with people who share the same ambition.

Thank you.
