“I always knew I wanted
to become somebody when I grew up. Now I realize I should have been more
specific.” - Lily Tomlin

The
first and critical step to accomplish in your life future is identifying with inner
ability and potential of oneself. It’s about identifying your personal value; linking
your potential with opportunities and doing something you want that make your
heart sing to become somebody.
Lily Tomlin an American
actress, comedian, writer, singer, and producer knew that she wanted to become
somebody when she grew up. Finally, she realized that she should have been more
specific.
Identifying and being who
you are can make many people unique and somebody in life. But, another critical
step; it takes to be “more specific” with your ability and “start acting” in
parallel to problem you want to fix in your community.
Insisting about being
more specific doesn’t mean to be limited with what you can do or what you love
to do. It’s about sticking and committed to your burning desire in relation to
what you can do with your potential for other people-the market place.
Living a successful life,
it’s when individual potential meets with personal focus and determination
without imitating other people, the same in identifying answers from societal
problems.
Sad to say, the world is
missing people who can stand firm with what they want to accomplish and believe
to deal with challenges in life. Our world has good number of people who
believe in success through adopting the life of successful people even though
they are not aware of a path used. This makes people fail to live and achieve
their dreams due to “copy and paste mentality” which I consider it to be a threat
to “human thinking”-ability of human to think and “attitude”-the way we see the
world using the “eye of a soul”. Currently, we have a huge number of people who
want “short cut” to achieve in life. That’s a tragedy of human thinking!
As it was said by Swahili
ancestor that, “Maisha ni Safari”- ”Life is a Journey” in English translation,
the same to “success in life is also a journey”; there is no short cut! You
need to know exactly a path using a map drawn in your mind and destination in
order to succeed in life. In case you don’t know exactly a path toward success
with your potential, surely you will be living other people’s life and it’s
where you will be stuck and off the target.
When identifying who you
are with something capable of, then, improve your skills enhancing your
potential to become a better person of value. Everyday, strive to become a
person of value by acquiring more skills relating a professional you love.
Being a person of value
attracts the demand in the market place, thus, the value you become with
success, as Jim Rohn once said; “success is something you attract by becoming
an attractive person.” Linking the acquired skills and your potential with available
opportunities to address the pain of other people will open a door to success.
