Inducing Oneself To Start Something New

INDUCING ONESELF TO START SOMETHING NEW

Inducing or induce simply means the ability to cause, move by persuasion, influence someone or something to do or try something new by creating and simplifying the subject matter to their own understanding.

Inducing oneself to start something new can be coined with individual ability or capability to develop him/herself in bringing out his/her uniqueness.

Did you ever pause to observe that the proverbs that are passed on from generation to generation are almost all visual? Similar sayings relating to knowledge and hard work which enunciate indirectly the judgement, cause or solution to a particular problem are also visual.

For example;

• Hard work, the root of all success
• New thinking, new possibilities
• What goes around comes back around

However, the psychologists believe that individuals wake up everyday to pursue a certain goal/target for that day but the problem is how do they achieve these goals.

Dale Carnegie said “pride is such a fundamentally explosive characteristic of human nature”. If an individual is able to develop him/herself well, definitely you’ll have the pride to achieving your goals; but if he/she doesn’t develop him/herself, how can these set goals be achieved? We all clearly know that everyone needs money to live freely or happily but what are the steps we take to build up our talents or uniqueness in starting something new?

Here is a simple steps by which individuals can induce him/herself to start something new;

1. Define yourself

By defining yourself, you’ll be able to know your strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats through which you can build yourself up or realise your unknown talent/potentials.

Let me illustrate this by giving you a concrete example from a Nigerian famous Artist called Brymo Olawale Ashimi popularly known as Brymo. He was born and raised in Okokomaiko, Ojo Lagos State. His father is an Awori carpenter and his mother an Egun petty trader. He is the only child of his parents. In 1999, he recorded his first song while in secondary school titled ‘Famous’.

To cut the story short, if the son of a CARPENTER can define himself to realise his talent or uniqueness, then who are you? The son or daughter of a mechanic?, Plumber?, Tailor?, e.t.c.

Believe me, you can induce yourself to start something new. It is not too late and remember the saying. “It’s not over until it is over.

2. Create the time

After defining yourself and your talent is known to you, why not create the time to practice and learn how to use your talent to proffer solutions to peoples problems?

3. Distant yourself from distractions

If you having the public speaking talent, and want to grow a career in it, say like Niyi Adesanya or Fela Durotoye. To become great at it, It’ll be wise to focus on things that help achieve more, like events, tv and radio programs, and books that’ll develop you in that line, rather than focus on irrelevancies. To become great in life, you have to move away from any sort of distractions and stay focus on what you intend doing.

4. Make it Real

You have defined yourself, create the time to be focused and also distant yourself from distractions. Another step or way forward is to make your set goals, talent or uniqueness real by being consistent/persistent.

The more actions and excitement you put into what you’ve defined (i.e your talent or set goals), the more it becomes easy and real. Obstacles or challenges would definitely come your way but regardless of these obstacles or challenges, Never give up as you calmly achieve your set goals.

You’re ready! Start something! Don’t give excuses! Act confident, have Faith, pray and let the good stories, memories and compliments begin. You are great! You need to be celebrated.
