You can create your own awesome lifestyle if you pursue your unique niche. We all are born with a niche that can provide us with all the best things that we desire in life. We possess the unique niche to be great and excellent at something that we should actually do.
We go to schools the moment we grow and continue to be in schools or colleges till we graduate and receive our certificates. With the certificate in hand, we look for jobs to start with. These days the students can work as interns in big companies to get a first hand work experience so that later when they finish their studies they will be able to decide whether to work for somebody or to work for themselves. But many who work as interns choose to be in the rat race minding other people's business thereafter.
Working as an intern gives a real glimpse of the real world and students who are just stepping into the rat race must be able to make a wise decision. The daily routine of 9 to 5 job at office may not be for all but most of the students try to fit in there. They don't really want to be part of that rat race, but in order to survive they just join any company to earn a living. There is nothing wrong about making a living but there is an error in not pursuing their niche.
At work, people are actually working for others in exchange of money and to get that much money, they have to put in a lot of efforts to compensate for the money they earn and it is always at the expense of their life. People don't decide properly which lifestyle to choose and why? They don't think about their abilities and talents. They are only ready to join the workforce as employees. They have no plans to sharpen their talents and skills in order to pursue their niche.
I think, people must decide in the beginning of their lives, what and how do they want to live their life? If they think working for others makes sense and gives security, they should pursue it and be in the rat race. But my concern is for those who don't really want to work for somebody but they are caught up in the rat race. They want to pursue their special niche but they are afraid and unsure about it.
Majority of graduates in all over the world will work for the few successful business men who didn't want to work 9 to 5 job and decided to develop and pursue their own niche. They took in charge of their future and believed in their niche because they were on the right track by pursuing their niche. The majority of employees who are doing their jobs grudgingly are not happy because they don't get what they have in their mind. These people are on the wrong track. They are working hard to complete others' niche.
It is important that we pursue our own niche by developing, refining, failures and success. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many other millionaires and billionaires pursued their own niche and they are today living their dreams, having their lifestyle and spending the best quality time with their family, love, desires and interests.
There are many people in the world who worked as employees for others and earned a living but later they shifted their focus on realizing their dreams. They worked on their niche and today they are happier, independent and rich. They have become role models for others to learn and follow their unique niche.
Each person has his own unique niche and each one can pursue it if he decides to go after and seek his own happiness. I am sure, it will make a very great change in person's lifestyle. People who are in the rat race and not happy at work, don't believe in their abilities rather they take this idea with a grain of salt because they don't have egg on their faces. They don't want to be embarrassed or ashamed if they fail in their endeavour.
There is no shame in failures or mistakes as there are lessons to be learned and improved. So decide today to pursue your own niche, niche can be anything as long as they express your true values, purpose and ultimate happiness.
