Each one of us has some skills. The problem is that most of us either don't know they have it, or they don't appreciate it well.
Being talented should make you grateful for the gift that God gave you, and should put more responsibilities on you to use this gift in a way that can help other people in their lives.
That made me think about my career and how can I get the most of it to help my country, religion and my people. Of course it was difficult for me somehow to figure it out since I wasn't thinking of it that way.
I was like most of nowadays people, making money and be rich, buying my brand new car, having my own studio .. etc this is fine with anyone and you will not be considered as a selfish person even. But thinking about that, I realized that this wasn't my intention and my targets in life, I must have something bigger than this, something more important, something more valuable.
Going backwards with my memory, I remembered some of my old thoughts and dreams I was planning to achieve when I was child. I remember that some of my friends was laughing at me trying to get me down with or without intention. The problem is that it wasn't the right time for me to think about something big simply because I was child but when I grow up and got what it takes to make them real, I just got busy with other things.
Time after time, I became more busy with what am doing, my business, my career, designs, media, life .. etc, and in the middle of all this I forgot the main reason why am I doing it from the beginning? What for?
I felt like I lost myself, my beliefs and my concentration in the middle of the day to day work, fights, & life rules. Putting your full concentration over small details will make you forget your main target, which means the failure of the whole thing.
That was a small reminder for me and for you ... I'm reminding you of what you've forgotten at the end of the day ... the goal of being alive.
