Who Do You Want To Be?

Yesterday after the day’s work and rewarding myself with some time on my bed, I started to think about all the great men in our world today and years back. I thought of how they are what they are now and whether that is actually what they would have killed for to be when they were only kids. I continued thinking, why have they reached where they are today and how? Almost everyone preaches about hard work and the perseverance you need to be successful in life and become who you want to become. But very few people I don’t know whether out of ignorance or just mere neglect leave out the most important ‘thing’ you need.
‘Who do you want to become’, is the question people ask us most if the time when the subject of our future comes into the conversation. It is a very nice question because it makes us more conscious of our future and more determined to work towards it. Interestingly, years back, I mean years back when we chose occupations that were made to look highly esteemed at the point where we didn’t really know our left from right aren’t the same ones we want to be now, except for a few. The doctors, lawyers and pilots that we wanted to be 7 years ago have now changed to different occupations. And this could be due to the evolving nature of our world which requires more versatile individuals to run and manage it, hence the change of occupations. Now that we have become certain about who we want to be in future how do we ensure that we actually become the ‘whos’ we want to become.
And here comes the real task, the task of making sure that at the end of the day you become what you intend to become. I’m not going to give points on how to become who you want to become but one thing I hope I do at the end of this piece is that a future be well planned for success. Okay, so honestly it’s going to be a rough road, I’m sorry to say that, it’s not really going to be a smooth journey. When working towards who you want to be, expect setbacks and its siblings. Expect disappointments, let downs and more. Hard work alone isn’t going to make you be what you want to be, if you work the hardest you can without knowing how to manage situations that are not pleasant, it might just make you feel off and discouraged but the ability to man up and face these situations is what is going to really help you be who you want to be in future.
Okay, so I think I’ve written a lot already but just remember that to be what you really want to be do expect what everybody doesn’t expect. Bye!!!!!
