[And by craft, I don’t mean arts & crafts. ;) ]
President Obama will definitely inspire some young minds today as he delivers his Back to School speech. But it is not only for the children. Many of us are still struggling with discovering what it is that were good at. So, I’m going to list a few tips to help guide you in your ‘craft discovery”. Enjoy!
- Write down a top ten list of things that you enjoy doing. Then narrow the list down to five. For each one, write why you enjoy that activity and honestly rate how well you are at each task/activity. Pay attention when you are doing these activities.
- Gather a group of close friends and/or family and ask them to compile a list of five things that they believe you are good at. Compare your list with theirs, and find the consistencies. Highlight those and pay extra attention to those.
- Do not limit yourself. Be very open to trying new things. Nobody has done everything, so do not box yourself in!
- If you feel that you already know your craft, or you think you’ve got a good handle on what it is : PERFECT IT! You need to build your craft. Some things come naturally to people, but many times you will need to start and try again. Whatever it is that you decide to go after, you want to be the best at it. So work on it! I would suggest daily, or however often your schedule allows.
I hope these were beneficial and will help you to begin honing your craft. If any of you have any other tips or ideas, feel free to leave a comment and share them.
