Differentiate your self. Why are you different? What's important about you? You've got to visualize where you are headed and be very clear about it.

Individuals do not, however, undertake their careers in a vacuum, as decisions about future trajectories need to be considered within the context of the broader world. Facilitating this decision-making is the process of career management that has been defined as an ‘ongoing problem-solving process in which information is gathered, awareness of oneself and the environment is increased, career goals are set, strategies are developed to attain those goals, and feedback is obtained. Career management, therefore, involves the analysis, planning and action that can be taken by an individual at any stage of their career – and ideally throughout it – to actively increase the chance of doing well. In essence, success has to be proactively sought and job seekers need to have a clear idea of what they mean by success and how to achieve it.

Find and Pursue Your Purpose and Passion

The great and influential men and women the world has ever known where those who discovered and pursued their purposes and were driven by their passions. When you are on a path of purpose, it is easier to add significant value to the lives of people. You will hardly be of any significant value to people or influence them when you don’t know where you are headed. Purpose ignites passion which keeps one motivated, inspired and focused. But, let’s start with the basics. Passion… what does that even mean?

We define passion as the thing that lights us up, makes us lose track of time, and leaves us yearning for more. If nothing popped into your mind about your passion when you read that definition, relax. In fact, most people have no idea what sets their soul on fire. Not a clue. It’s more normal to know what you don’t want than to know what you do. So, that should bring you some relief.

While it may seem discouraging to be in this place of confusion, we like to view it as an opportunity; an opportunity for exploration, investigation, and self-discovery. Okay, so we’re down for the passion quest… but, how do we find it? How do we even know what it is? And what do we do with it once we’ve uncovered it?

The first step is let Curiosity lead the way. You need to understand that the tricky thing about passion is that it simply cannot be found, it must be nurtured. And now, before we go any further, I will like you to understand what curiosity really means. It that strong desire to learn something new. That is, our curiosity is simply a yearning to explore. It is playful, excited, and there to direct us toward our soul’s true calling. Curiosity is the missing piece that leads us towards cultivating and nurturing our passion. Instead of getting caught up in trying to figure out our passions, let’s relax, kick our feet up, and follow our innate curiosities.

We all have gems of passion hidden within us, and it is our job to uncover them; we can use our curiosity to lead us there. With passion, there is pressure. But with curiosity, there is excitement. When curiosity leads we are free to roam, conquer, fail, and explore – at great lengths – anything and everything that calls to us.

Some day’s curiosity may seem more abundant than others. On the days that we find it lacking, we have the power to bring it back by simply engaging with ourselves. It’s time to pull out our journals and ask ourselves some simple questions to get our creative juices flowing; here are a few ideas to get us started: Where do I feel happiest? What is something new I’d like to try today? When did I last feel joyful? What idea keeps popping up in my head?

So as you can see, what matters is not that our passions are vitally important, or that they are completely serious, or that that make us tons of money, or that they even impact anyone else. What matters is that we follow them and that they make us happy, that’s it.

Embrace Self-Development

Embracing a lifelong pursuit of self-development is the only path to accelerating your growth and actualizing your potential as a human being. The extent to which you are able to add value and influence others depends on the extent to which you have developed yourself. But here's where things get tricky.

Some people love the idea of self-development and become so obsessed with learning that they never take action. They fall into a self-development trap, where they read a book, listen to a podcast, or watch a YouTube video, and think that they have found the solutions to life’s problems.

Yes, there is value in doing these things, but knowing is not enough. Doing is where the magic lies. I believe that real self-development in life doesn’t occur until you step outside your comfort zone and implement what it is that you have learned. In the words of Abraham Maslow, “In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.” Which option will you choose?

Unfortunately, most people don't want to grow because growth is uncomfortable. I hate to say it, but the only time that you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable. A comfort zone feels good, but nothing exciting ever happens there. When you commit to self-development, and learn how to embrace the discomforts of life, you enter into a whole other world of possibilities.

Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, psychologist and author of Better Than Perfect, says that, “People who regularly seek out fresh experiences tend to be more creative and emotionally resilient than those who remain stuck in routine.”

Don’t avoid difficult things. Rather, push your limits and stretch yourself whenever you can. Your level of value will seldom exceed your level of personal development, because value is something you attract by the person you become.

Learn to Identify and Solve Problems

To be a person of value, you have to become genuinely interested in people enough to solve their problems. You see, problem solving itself is at the core of human evolution. It is the methods we use to understand what is happening in our environment, identify things we want to change and then figure out the things that need to be done to create the desired outcome. Problem solving is the source of all new inventions, social and cultural evolution, and the basis for market based economies. It is the basis for continuous improvement, communication and learning.

If this problem-solving thing is so important to daily life, what is it? Problem-solving is the process of observing what is going on in your environment; identifying things that could be changed or improved; diagnosing why the current state is the way it is and the factors and forces that influence it; developing approaches and alternatives to influence change; making decisions about which alternative to select; taking action to implement the changes; and observing impact of those actions in the environment.

Each step in the problem-solving process employs skills and methods that contribute to the overall effectiveness of influencing change and determine the level of problem complexity that can be addressed. Humans learn how to solve simple problems from a very early age (learning to eat, make coordinated movements and communicate) – and as a person goes through life problem-solving skills are refined, matured and become more sophisticated (enabling them to solve more difficult problems). Problem-solving is important both to individuals and organizations because it enables us to exert control over our environment.

1. Fixing things that are broken: Some things wear out and break over time, others are flawed from day-1. Personal and business environments are full of things, activities, interactions and processes that are broken or not operating in the way they are desired to work. Problem-solving gives us a mechanism for identifying these things, figuring out why they are broken and determining a course of action to fix them.

2. Addressing risk: Humans have learned to identify trends and developed an awareness of cause-and-effect relationships in their environment. These skills not only enable us to fix things when they break but also anticipate what may happen in the future (based on past-experience and current events). Problem-solving can be applied to the anticipated future events and used to enable action in the present to influence the likelihood of the event occurring and/or alter the impact if the event does occur.

3. Improving performance: Individuals and organizations do not exist in isolation in the environment. There is a complex and ever-changing web of relationships that exist and as a result, the actions of one person will often have either a direct impact on others or an indirect impact by changing the environment dynamics. These interdependencies enable humans to work together to solve more complex problems but they also create a force that requires everyone to continuously improve performance to adapt to improvements by others. Problem-solving helps us understand relationships and implement the changes and improvements needed to compete and survive in a continually changing environment.

4. Seizing opportunity: Problem solving isn’t just about responding to (and fixing) the environment that exists today. It is also about innovating, creating new things and changing the environment to be more desirable. Problem-solving enables us to identify and exploit opportunities in the environment and exert (some level of) control over the future.

Problem solving skills and the problem-solving process are a critical part of daily life both as individuals and organizations. Developing and refining these skills through training, practice and learning can provide the ability to solve problems more effectively and over time address problems with a greater degree of complexity and difficulty. And also, the more people you help solve their problems, the more valuable and influential you become.

Be Original and Unique

The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been before… Let’s face it. Following the crowd is easy. Doing what everyone else is doing doesn’t hardly take any effort. Being the same as the people in the crowd prevents you from sticking out. You’re not ridiculed if you are a cookie cutter person. That means being true to yourself, your values and originality is tougher than just going with the flow of the crowd.

So why should you want to be an original and be unique? You are being true to yourself. Not fighting yourself is an ultimate advantage in being true to your originality and uniqueness. You will come up with more fresh ideas and new perspectives on old ideas. Basically, your creativity increases. Learning to navigate with your differences gives you more confidence and self-esteem. People will view you as a person with something interesting to say. You are more apt to try things and expand your world thus making you more interesting and influential. You will also be happier.

The bottom line on being original boils down to one thing. You were born original with a unique set of characteristics, traits, talents and skills. If you go with the flow of the crowd, you will never be who you were born to be… You will be a copy. The same old thing as everyone else. Where’s the excitement in being the same old thing as everyone else? Do you just want to be a copy?

Stepping outside the regular boundaries in order to be unique is not always easy. People may think you are weird and avoid you. It will be harder for people to relate to you, your actions and ideas. Most people won’t agree with you. You may be ridiculed or persecuted. You may spend more time alone and thus find yourself lonely more often than others. But even though there are some big reasons to not be an original and to just follow the crowd, the positives outweighs the negatives in being original.

Think about it. If you’re not going to be you, who will? No one. Your uniqueness won’t ever be known or add to the value of the environment, community and world. That’s sad. Actually, that’s really a waste. So, don’t be anyone else. Be YOU. YES! YOU.
