Step 4: Find Your Passions

Heyyyoo! I was gone but now I'm back! People always get down on me and criticize me when I say I have no talents. I find, (and you might feel the same way), people saying that, quite frankly, means jack shit if I still don't know where my talents lie. And someone telling me that I have talent doesn't help me realize what my talents are. The truth is, no one can really make you realize your full potential, YOU have to realize it yourself. People believing in you is really helpful, and encouragement is great, but ultimately, you have to believe in yourself and see your full potential. The thing is, we are all good at some thing(s) and we all really do have talents! I encourage anyone and everyone to explore the activities that interest them. If you really like writing, take a creative writing class or get a book on screenplays. If you love sports, join a team, join a fantasy team, ask someone to play with you, or apply for an internship with an organization! Try it, you never know what you will love and what you will excel at. And what if you do try something you're interested in, and it proves to be more challenging than you thought? If you can't sing, so what? If your rhythm is off when you dance, who cares? Do you love it? Do you enjoy it? Are you passionate about it? Then do it! Work at it!! Find where your talents lie and find where your passions lie. Explore and pursue both. Try it! And I guarantee you that if you are doing something you love and enjoy, (and not caring if someone doesn't think you should or someone tells you you're not the best at it), you WILL feel happy! Money back guarantee (:
