We all have our moments. We have people came up to us and said "Wow, that's a nice work you have there!" Or " What a great piece your created!" Or " You are simply brilliant at what you do!" But this happens only on that occasion. Of course we try our hands on almost everything and anything that gives us pleasure and satisfaction.
Some of us draw while others paint...Some write beautiful poetries while others create awesome stories. Even to some a great flip on a BMX bicycle to training others to shape them up are what gave them satisfaction. These are what people call as hobbies if they are not in a work environment. To others even their work or career gave them the satisfaction which others get from their hobbies. I know people from the social service gave their all for their job and clientele.
Well. We ordinary people could only imagine what these great artists, sportsmen, enterprenuers and social cause activities does in their day to day lives. We are no specialist how ever we want to be. These people who are experts in their field are so natural that we thought to ourselves that when they were borne, they could already run. True to some like beethovan, einstien, jackie chan and even those photographers that produce beautiful pieces on every issue of the National Geography.
We aspire to be them thus we embark on our little humble journeys to take on the areas or activities that these people do. We take courses and/or practise the routines so that we could possibly reach somewhere kinda close to them. But ordinary people like us are prone to have multiple interest and so we take on not just a couple of stuff to do but sometimes array of activities. For one probably we have time on our hands and we need to fill up our live with not just mundane day-to-day work-eat-sleep routine.
However, we can't quite reach the level of expertise that these individuals had perfected. So we try to suffice by having a few that we like and execute them. We would recieve comments by people around us that " I dont really know what you want in your life. You practically take up almost different things/acitivties every time I meet you."
It made us think that are we aimless in our lives or are we just people who follow our hearts or even are we the tall grass in a field that follows the direction of the wind and will continue to do that for the rest of our lives.
It should not be the case. The end of the day once we start to do something we will finish it. If we learn to do some craft we gotta make sure that we learn to execute the best to our abilities. Those who follows the wind are those who have in their kitchen half baked ideas or projects.
We may not be experts in the field which we are in but we sure know how to finish what we started on.. For life itself is a learning journey from the cradle to the grave. There's always something new for us to do and explore and gain.
The day we stop learning is the day we die. To that effect let others say what they want on us not being the masters of our trade but we jolly well know that we had put in our heart and soul to ensure what we give back is the best to our capablities.
Our passion will burn for the things we do. We benchmark against others but we never fail to believe in oursleves and what we do. Materialistic or spiritual. We are always in constant reflection and kaizen for ourself so that at the end of the day whatever we "produce" will be the best that we know how for that moment in time.
Strive to excel in whatever we do. For one day there will be a moment event for a split second that we are the expert in the field.
Cheers
