LIFE FULFILLING SKILLS
Our life philosophy and belief system can shape our reality. What we believe and see ourselves, our identity tend to shape who we are. A Scatter brain? A Clumsy Person? A Workaholic? A People Person?
We tend to unconsciously act the part to suit our Identity, that eventually translate to our belief system which translate to skills.. "Oh I am not Good at Swimming", "Oh I am sleepy whenever I read a book" etc. Eventually it becomes a Self Fulfilling Prophecy
A mentor of mine previously shared a pivotal insights that forever change how I view life. “Our skills and abilities, is not some cosmic lottery or luck. It is sculpted by the effort we invest in, it is develop over time by our choices either deliberately or not.
”Simply said, most things in life is a skill. Means there is no such thing of being inherently good or bad at something. It is just we did not put enough effort into it. To learn the structure, to sequence and learn effectively, to be good at it.
This understanding is a game changer… Shifting perception & liberating myself from the shackles of self-limiting beliefs. Instead of viewing myself as inherently gifted or deficient, recognize that proficiency or skills is a matter of choice and commitment. It is empowering and yet humbling understanding
I hope this perspective may changes the way how you view yourself and the world and thus empower ourselves to embark on a journey of self-discovery, unlocking our potential one deliberate step at a time.
In embracing this mindset, we reclaim agency over our lives, realizing that our destinies are not predetermined but crafted through our actions. not denying of course the role of the resources (network, economic or material resources) and talent which may serve as the enabler or catalyst for any skill acquisition.
So here are the categories of Life Skills I have compile & curated (it is an ongoing list, that may changes over time)
