Here, reading is your interest and your skill is your capability to read for long hours without being bored.
How to know your skills?
- Find your abilities and strengths.
- Find the things you know perfectly.
- Find the tasks you do confidently.
Sometimes your interest does not match your skills, then you need to acquire the skills.

Finding your skills(you are good at which things) brings you closer to your success because now you do the smart work instead of beating about the bush.
3. Listen To Your Heart Call.
What you think, you become. You look discontented in life if you are not doing that which you wanted to do in your life. If you ignore your heart call and choose the wrong career path, life will be spent but you will not be able to live.
Life is short but it is also great and large for those who want to do something incredible. You can only discover the highest possibility of your being if you listen to your inner call and going forward according to that.
Find out who are you now?
It means which works you love most, your mind tends to focus on which things and what jobs you do effortlessly and joyfully.
When you do something without expecting anything but you feel happiness and joy that’s your inner voice. Just clutch this call and choose a career being practical. And then, you will end up finding the best career for yourself.
Be open-minded to see opportunities.
“Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think”
Albert Einstein
4. Continue Learning and Growing.
Learning should be the purpose of your life as it gives you genuine success and pure happiness. Without learning something, you cannot progress in your life confidently and happily.
Growth is life. As soon as you stop growing in life, you become dead. Learning should be the ultimate goal of life.
Learn from almost anything from; success and failure, happiness and sorrow, elders and younger, living and non-living things and so on.
The rewards that you get from your life are not as important as the knowledge that you gain from your life. Because knowledge is power and it is the only way that makes your life easy and motivates you to progress.
Knowledge is worshipped everywhere by everyone.
Without knowledge, there is no growth and without growth, there is no life but survival.
You should keep on learning and growing. Your knowledge expands your mind and you see opportunities in everything.
Then you acquire the skills that make you more capable. When you have the capability, there is no fear of losing anything because you have the confidence of making a new career option with your knowledge and capabilities.
5. Find the Gap and Demand of Market.
All you need to choose a career is to find the gap in the market and your expertise to fill up that gap in a different way.
You should also think about the current demand for a career and the increasing demand after five years.
In that case, you should be open-minded and should have a futuristic Goal.
Without being visionary you can’t pick the right career for yourself. If you only focus on present demand, you may remain outdated after five years.
Be visionary and hold a futuristic goal to make the right decision. Choose a career that gives you happiness and success.
Always remember, you should fulfil the need of society most uniquely and affordably. Your approach should never be harmful to anyone.
When you do something for the well-being of others, they identify that and you become a successful person then.
How to find a gap in the market?
- Be open-minded to see every aspect of any career.
- Look how your interest and skill benefit others in a new way.
- You should be visionary and should have a futuristic goal.
- You should observe the market.
- Increase your observation power. Make sure your plan should be simple and easy to understand.
6. Apply For Jobs.
Sometimes, you choose a career calculating your interests, skills, inner voice and risk factors. But when you start doing it, you come to know about your actual interest.
Now, either you quit the job or learn the skills to stick to the job.
To pick up a practical career option, you have to take risks.
You can never know your strengths and capabilities until you practice them in reality. Something seems easy but when you start doing it, you see the actual picture.
There is a proverb
Easier said than done.
There is something that you can know only after doing it.
Suppose, you want to be a blogger and if you think it’s your heart call, then start them small. Don’t be too optimistic and start from an almost free platform.
If you feel interested and motivated after three months(even when you are earning zero), it’s your heart call. Because you are not interested in money but in the interesting creations that you are creating.
Here you have heard more about different earning potentialities but when you do practically you see the reality.
Most people start a blog just for earning money but when they fail, they quit.
So, you should apply for jobs to recognise your original strength. If you succeed, pursue that as your career and if you fail learn from that and grow.
Try different jobs and learn from them. And then create your career route.
7. Find Your Purpose in Life.

Your career gives you security, success but your purpose helps you to grow forever.
