At school, when a new concept was introduced in class, I was often left dissatisfied by the answers given by my teachers when I would ask the teacher to explain certain aspects of the concept! I wasn’t trying to be difficult. I just wanted to break the concept down into basic components that would assist my understanding. While I got good grade for the subject discussed, I was labelled as a ‘slow learner’ as a result of asking too many questions! How would you feel about that comment?
That must have dampened my self-esteem somewhat. Not that I knew much about the subconscious mind and how every little piece of information – good or bad- can influent your belief in yourself.
I remember as a teenager, I used to look at how people do things and wondered to myself why those adults did those things that way! It seemed unnecessarily Read More
too complicated to me and I often felt that those things could have been done simpler! But I dared not ask any questions in fear of being ridiculed and called a ‘slow learner’ again.
Have you ever experienced a similar situation where other people did not appreciate your talents and the comments they made left you wonder silently whether you were good enough or measured up to their expectations? Well, don’t let them intimidate you! Be comfortable in your own skin.
I did not realise that being able to make complex things simple was a gift I had been given since young until I started consulting to my clients in business and project management!
I believe that everyone is born with their unique talents. They are like gifts from heaven to be used on earth! Do you know what yours are? Are you comfortable in your own skin doing what you love with the talents you have been given? Life flows much better when we love what we do and we do what we love.
Doing what we love and loving what we do go hand-in-hand to recognize and fully own yourself, your future, and who you can become. Before we can get there though, I like to introduce you to principles that are at work, whether acknowledged or not.
