Everyone is born with different talents and skills. Some are great drawers and artists while others are naturally good with math and numbers. Some are gifted in terms of music while others are athletic. How do you know what your skills and talents are? The answer to that is typically finding out what you are good at and what you enjoy doing. More often than not they are one and the same thing.

For someone like Wayne Gretzky the answer to this was playing hockey whereas for someone like John Kennedy it was being a leader. You just have to following your calling and then have the courage to follow your dreams. For some it can being a bingo player who goes around the world playing in bingo games and bingo tournaments whereas for someone else it can being an architect and designing buildings for which people can live.

Some people go through their whole life without finding out the answer to this question. They meander from one thing to the next simply trying to solve this. This is how you get some people who study medicine for six years and following this they do something else. Then you have others who do law for about the same amount of time and then start working as a lawyer only to realize that they don't enjoy it and it isn't for them.

It is important that you aren't pressured into something over another. Certain vocations are preferred as they are higher earning but it is better to do something you enjoy and like doing. No amount of money can compensate for doing something which you don't enjoy. You are only going to feel resentful and upset. Life is too short to be in this position.

You need to have the courage to follow your dreams and do whatever it is your heart tells you. It might mean being a gardener or being a baker. You may wish to become a photographer or a dancer. There is no right or wrong answer. Just what you enjoy doing.

It is your life and you are the one who has to live it. No point doing things for other people which is going to be at the detriment of yourself. You need to concern yourself less with what other people think and make your own feelings the number one priority. Otherwise you are always going to feel upset and empty inside.

Many people do something only because their parents want them to do it. They are trying to follow their parent's wishes and not want to disappoint them. It could be a family business and they are being looked to as the person to carry it on. This is a nice idea but if it isn't for you, you need to let the people in your family know. If you don't both of you are going to suffer in the long run. It might be short term pain but it's the best for the long run.
