How Much Is Your Talent Really Worth.
One of the most important things I’ve learned in last two years after putting myself in an emotional turmoil. Is that you can’t escape yourself and the only thing that can give you true peace is acceptance, acceptance of your surroundings, conditions but most of all acceptance of yourself, your behaviors, flaws and Talents. We are all unique beings with individual abilities and yet all the same altogether the same doubts about ourselves, same insecurities same goal that is: Freedom.
Now freedom comes in various forms
Financial Freedom AKA the bitch we all are chasing
Freedom to express ourselves
The true freedom to just to be
To exist as who you really are
Now the worries of financial freedom usually overshadows every thing else, It is the same worry that makes you go to the job that you despise.The worry to just exist without worrying consumes us, engulf us in the dark shadow with minute light ray which we end up chasing our whole lives just to end up in a new kind of darkness that is: Regret
Regret of not living fully, Regret of not doing what we always wanted to, Regret of not pursuing our true passions. But whose to blame what would you choose the next meal to feed your stomach or some artwork or a music album that you have not made yet t’s just how the world has been !! Right! But I would like to counter that, The world has always been ever-changing and I would like to believe it has changed to a newer kind. In this new kind of world you can not exist if you are not being yourself and I do have proper explanation of that.
The Difference Between Two Worlds
In previous century, many people who even did not like their jobs were at least able to make a living. Buying a house, a car, provide for their children. I’m not saying life was easy back then or anything but they were at least able to make it work by going to a job half assed. But the way the world has took a turn now is you can’t make it work if its half assed. The competition is so high that you cannot make it if you are not all in. Because there are always better options to replace you better alternatives and we can never be completely all in if we don’t love something. So what I’m saying is if we have to make it at least work we have to be exceptional at what we do and the only things where we can be truly exceptional are the things that we love, Things for which we have an interest and some talent. So in this new era the only way to survive is to be your true self and work on something that your heart truly wants to do because if you are half assed the bigger sharks that are present in abundance will surely eat you, And you can only become a half assed if your heart does not like that stuff.
The True Worth Of Your Abilities
One thing that is also true for this world is that it has infinite resources, infinite Money to spend on anything and if you can present yourself as exceptional the world will pay you. No matter what you do, you just have to be good at it and the infinite resources will be thrown right at you and all the infinite world can be in your grasp only if you tried to do your own thing. Just believe in what you can do and put your soul into it even if others don’t understand you. They never will its their main job to bring you down for trying, to bring you down at every chance they get. So as long as you understand yourself everything is in your reach and you have one sole responsibility that is to grab that perfect opportunity and making it worth.
Now remember “Grab that infinity it seems big but it is in fact not bigger than the palm of your hand.” ㅤ
