Just like writing a cover letter for a new job or a job you are<br />
applying for, it is important to sell yourself while being<br />
yourself. You have to give the reader enough to want more,<br />
in turn wanting to meet you in person to continue the process.<br />
This is the same importance as being yourself at all time,<br />
but to be yourself you need to know yourself. “I know this<br />
sounds strange”, but most of our youths today don’t know<br />
themselves, as they turn to the worldly trend to define who they<br />
are from fashion to reality television, to celebrity idolizing, to<br />
drug dealing and drug dealer, to fraud and making fast money,<br />
womanizing etc. They are so many things pulling our youths in<br />
different directions; it is now considered norm as society finds<br />
a befitting name for it called being a teenager or an adolescent.<br />
There is nothing wrong with being an adolescent or a<br />
teenager with your own mind and understanding that<br />
everything starts and stops with the choices and decisions you<br />
make in life regardless of your starting point in life. It is a given<br />
that those that are raised in certain environment would benefit<br />
from that environment either negatively or positively, but at a<br />
crossroad in one’s development, you come to a place where you<br />
have to make your own choice of what direction or path you<br />
which to follow. At times it seems that society allows the youth<br />
to turn and not take responsibilities for certain actions or<br />
decisions made by creating excuses for them, or not allowing<br />
parents to parent them accordingly.<br />
Not to sound judgemental, I understand there will be those<br />
that will need more help, support, teaching, nurturing,<br />
understanding, love and patience than others do, but this<br />
entirely still doesn’t render the youths of their freedom of<br />
choice, regardless if it is a good or bad one.<br />
Youths express yourself with your freedom of choice, as<br />
20<br />
choice is the only free thing in life. Feel free to walk away from<br />
any situation that you are not comfortable with regardless of<br />
the popularity or lack of. Don’t imprison yourself to popularity,<br />
fame, money, guilty, acceptance, friendships that don’t add to<br />
your being and directions in life, employment that isn’t aligning<br />
you to your desired life target (be mindful that I am not just<br />
advising you to up and leave your job without a plan, in life at<br />
times you have to endure a process to achieve a certain<br />
outcome). What I am saying is be in control of your decision<br />
and be aware of the outcome of the choices you make,<br />
regardless of who lead you down that path in the first place.<br />
Be mindful of always turning to others before you’ve even<br />
asked yourself, as you will never know the true heart of<br />
individuals, you will only know what they want you to know via<br />
words, but remember actions don’t lie. Sometimes in life people<br />
don’t want to tell you things via words, but will via actions,<br />
because actions don’t lie, so always be observant of actions<br />
while taking in people’s words, and then make your own<br />
decision. A great leader leads by example and not words alone.<br />
For example if a friend is advising you to do something they<br />
would never do themselves, ask yourself why? Instead of just<br />
following blindly, this is called taking responsibilities for all of<br />
your actions and deeds regardless of outcome. Follow your own<br />
conscience; this is why we all have one.<br />
Everything in life is either an upwards investment or a<br />
downwards investment. Ensure you are upward investing in all<br />
things from money, time, friendship, relationship, parenting,<br />
job, business and also in your believe system (Faith).<br />
