Do you know what you were born to do?
“In simple words, whatever you were born to do, you were equipped to do it. You are a whole equipment for success“ Israelmore Ayivor
Do you know what you were born to do? We all are hard wired with certain abilities or inclinations that are part of our DNA just like the color & texture of our hair or the size & shape of our body parts. These abilities & inclinations provide subtle direction about what we were born to do… If we’re conscious enough to read them.
Knowing & following these abilities & inclinations helps you to cultivate state of flow in your lives. Now what is meant by flow. Flow is a psychological concept explaining the mental state in which a person carrying out a task is fully absorbed into it with an energized focus & in depth engagement; & enjoys the whole process. So the question is, have you ever felt yourself in a state of flow? The answer of many is ‘No’, But Why, just because most of us don’t know what our natural gifts & talents are.
We all have unique genetic code that determines our strengths & our weaknesses, what we are good at and what we are not good at, which tasks we undertake comfortably & which tasks seem exhausting to us.
On account of unique genetic coding:
Some are born to be the greatest musician, no one can beat their pitch, they are very good at creating rhythm & tones and assembling into order and structure.
Some have innate ability to influence, from early school levels to their high school & further in their professional career they try to represent their group or teams — these individuals are born with leadership skills.
Some have extraordinary inborn athletic abilities. For instance, Bobby Moore was famous for his hitting action, the way he hit the golf ball by using an extraordinary symphony between hands and eyes to amazed audiences.
and so on, so on natural abilities are infinite, vary from person to person.
Now when we don’t recognize our natural abilities & talents, we can never experience a state of flow in our lives. Doing something totally incompatible with your natural abilities is like putting an oval shape object at a place reserved for a circled shape object.
Without recognizing your natural talents, you
- will never be able to maximize your potential because you won’t be able to scale your natural talents.
- Will never be able to minimize what’s not working in your life and why finding flow can sometimes be so difficult.
- Will continually be discontent with where you are in life.
