Knowing Yourself...

I have always wondered what it really takes to become successful. I always had these questions in my mind.
Can I be successful?

Can I really live the life of my dreams?
Will I be famous?
Will I ever be capable of buying a home for my parents?
All these questions would really take me on a toll until one day, I was surfing through YouTube when I came across a video named "These 5 minutes will change your life", and I was really curious & opened the link.
The video was very motivational, it talked about how we are wasting our time right now and how can we change our attitude towards life and I remember I was filled with energy! Everything that the video spoke was so convincing that I started questioning myself. It led me to watch similar videos, more motivational speakers, inspiring speeches and I found it very positive and uplifting. The way I looked at things was changing, I could observe a better me, I started thinking positive and watching videos like these subconsciously became a habit! I started feeling more confident about myself, I believed I could change the world, I never doubted my capabilities but after this practice, I started trusting myself more. I knew I could make a difference in my life as well as in others’ lives. One statement that really made an deep impact in my mind was that “7.6 billion people in the world and there is no other brain like you. You are unique.” How amazing is that.I started writing quotes and articles.
One of them:

Whenever you doubt your life, just know that you are a whole and a complete universe.

You have got eyes, to see the real beauty of nature. Imagine yourself getting blacked out, scary right?
You have got ears to listen to the chirping of the birds, to listen to melodious songs.
You have got the tongue to speak and express everything you feel & that tastes all the delicious food you eat.
You have got a nose to smell the fragrance of flowers, the aroma of food.
You have got the sensation of touch; imagine your life without it. You wouldn't feel anything.
And above all you have your unique mind, 7.6 billion people in the world and no one has the same mind as you.

You would have been really incomplete without any of these senses. Now that you have them, understand that your problems are so small, it’s just bad situations and not a bad life! And situations can be changed. Be grateful for what you have already! That is real happiness!

I wrote many such positive articles and people around me noticed I was changing.
But I knew being positive, motivated, and energetic wouldn't really fill my stomach! I didn't know what to do, I had no direction in my life, I didn't know where to start from and I was completely clueless. I have always believed every one of us has a special talent, one special thing that we do the best, the thing that will change our lives forever, master it and we're done."
I started questioning myself to find that one thing. It took time to figure out, I had to try many things before I knew it and now that I know, here I am! Working on it every day. I know I'll succeed, because until I do... I'm not giving up!

The motive behind telling you the story is that there is no time for success, there is no right age to follow your passions, there is no particular way of getting success! You have to make your own path. You need to look into yourself, figure out your thing and work on it. Day In. Day Out. And one day the world will look up to you. Have faith in yourself.

Love. Peace.
