Hey guys,
Welcome back! If you have just ventured from part 1 of this two-part blog series, and if you have just landed on this post by chance then you may want to click here, and have a little read of part 1 before reading this.
So this is part 2 and here is where we get down to business! Finding your destiny can be hard and I'm sure for those of you who have read part 1 you may already feel, overwhelmed, or perhaps even scared to tap into your purpose. But don't worry! You're not alone :) As always I have come up with some practical tips to help you on your journey.
I hope they are helpful!
**
1. Find out what you're good at!
What are your skills and talents? What do you enjoy? Did you really enjoy food-tech during high school/ secondary school, but never thought to pursue it? Can you sing? Do you love making and creating things? Are you interested in History? Do you have the travel bug? Whatever it is that makes you tick, whatever makes you happy. Go for it! If you're not quite sure ask someone. It may seem silly but sometimes other peoples perspectives can help you see potential you're not aware of. (Ask the right people though!)
2. Work on those skills
So you've found out that you love numbers and want to become a bank manager. Wishful thinking is great for a minute or so, but actively seeking what you want is better! Apply for jobs, invest in courses, enrich yourself and do what is needed to keep you pushing forward. You know your destiny, now work for it!
3. Choose your battles! **Important**
In life there will be many things thrown at us, many tribulations we will have to go through. Some of these things will help strengthen and affirm us in our destiny whilst others will simply distract us and take the energy which we should be using to create our purpose.
So what if Lucy's mate said you're the most boring person on the planet. Do you really need to argue over it? I mean she's not even your friend! Whilst this example may seem trivial and stupid a lot of us spend so much time and energy on things which do not concern us. Stalking *Insert name here* on instagram all day will not help you finish that report, doing your report will! Like I said, choose your battles; be efficient with your energy.
4. Finally (I've said it before, & I'll say it again) NEVER GIVE UP
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Or in my case, stick the kettle on and make yourself some lemon tea ;). As one of the GREATEST artists on the planet once said;
' You have gotta lose your mind, just to find your peace of mind '
Life isn't always easy and things do not always make sense, but never give up! Even when you feel like you're going crazy and all that surrounds you is negativity keep moving forward. In these testing times show life, that your destiny, your purpose, cannot be taken away from you. It's who you are...
I've uploaded W.A.Y.S. (Why aren't you smiling) by Jhene Aiko for you guys to stop and listen to. It's a beautiful song and I find it quite inspirational and a fitting way to end this post :)
Have a lovely day people
Peace and Love
