Is it your vocation or that of others?

Many times in life for wanting to please others, for wanting to be like others, for having a certain pattern of education, for believing that we can't, for always being negative, for not trusting ourselves we lose the opportunity to do and be what we like, I know a person who for wanting to honor what his parents wanted him to be was miserable all his life, he never knew what it was to work and do something because he really liked it and was fully happy.

And I mean work, because of course she knew how to be happy or a little happy from other aspects of her life. But it's impressive how many of us are conditioned to do things for the approval of others, we put others above our goals, aspirations, dreams and happiness and here we have not only work as an example but also other aspects, such as our personality, have met someone who is in one way when he is with certain friends and in another when he is with himself or his family? I have.!

Many are easy prey, are very manipulable, I think it also has to do with how we are educated, with those who lived in our childhood, we saw in the course of our growth, how we were treated, we live in a home where physical and psychological abuse was the main thing? all these are factors that will help us or not to develop in life, are factors that are directly related to our personality.

And of course all this has to do with what you want to be in life, your motivation depends on YOU, not on someone else, and how do you know what your vocation is?

First of all we must self-analyze, know ourselves, identify ourselves, only then we will know what we are made for, for example, if you are a person who is generally interested in others, you always want to help, because it is likely that the area of health is your thing. Or if on the contrary your thing is to create new things, to carry out certain ideas, you may be a great entrepreneur.

The spontaneity of doing certain things without realizing it can be the key to knowing what our vocation is, what excites us, what things we do without being asked, just for fun, our level of concentration to do certain activities, if our concentration is constant it is because something really interests us, if not the opposite.

Inspiration is key to what we want to create, to reach that moment where we say "Yes, I know what I want to do" when we really like something we look for all the information that exists about it, we get informed, we educate ourselves, we try to know a little bit more about that which calls our attention so much.

Then, because we let ourselves be guided by someone else if we have the tools ourselves, we must remember that our happiness is our responsibility and part of that happiness is in what we do on a personal and professional level.
