Who are you? This question in my country Nigeria, is often seen as an insult. People often reply the question in this manner, “So you don’t know who I am?” or “I will show you who I am!”. The question who are you? Is something we should daily ask ourselves. Without a clear definition of who we are, our lives would be ruled by nothing but chance. To effectively answer this question, we must look within ourselves.
First, we must understand ourselves. We should be able to define who we are. The definition of who you are, is a product of self-discovery. Only a person who understands who he/she is, can clearly define who they are not. A cow cannot be mistaken for a goat, neither can a telephone be mistaken for a tree. Take out time to understand yourself, everyone is here on earth for a purpose. To understand yourself, start off first with prayers. It is often quipped that if you lack the knowledge of how to use a device, check the owner’s manual. So also, if you lack knowledge of yourself, go to God. He knows you better than you know yourself.
Look out also for things that you find easy to do. Most of the great people we see today discovered their talents while they were young and they traded with it. Ask friends or those around you for areas you are gifted in. When you discover your talents, build them to world class standard. Find coaches or mentors who can guide you to becoming better. This way, you are building your skills.
Apply these tips to your daily lives and I believe they would help you as they have helped me. When next you are asked the question, who are you? show them your portfolio.
