‘I don’t follow anyone’ is what you are actually following in your life. From birth till the end of life a child always follows someone and learns from them. What does follow really mean? Follow is basically the act of you learning something from someone else and implementing it in your life.
Whom to learn from and whom to follow has been the biggest confusion one faces in their life. We come across many people in life and we really don’t know who is right for us and following whom can make us achieve what we want from life and expect ourselves to become what we have dreamt of since our childhood.
Following someone can be of two types: one is follow their exact steps and ending up as they are and second one is you see the end destination and make your own way up there. I have personally always taken the second one and would even suggest the second one if you want to become someone on your own base. If you want to go with the first one then it’s very simple that just select a person you want to follow and learn every single thing about him and just copy what he did (All the best if you choose that way). If you want to go with the second one then follow the following steps and then lets see what stops you.
1. Know what you want to become
Following anyone is just waste of time until and unless you don’t know what you want to achieve in life and what are your goals. You should always have goals in your life because they are the biggest motivation in your life and will always make you go an extra mile for them. Once you have your goals and you know what you want to become then you are one step ahead of millions in this world.
2. Make list of the best in your field
Once you make a list of all your goals and know what you want to become in your life then it becomes easy as you can find people on the internet who are the best in what you want to become. You will get many names but the best person who can help you to cut down that list is you. Relate people with your interests and make someone your idol and just add them up in your list.
3. Do some research on them
This is the most interesting part. Write the name of your idol on the internet and do some research on them. Find their interests, likes, dislikes, habits, etc. find whatever is available on the internet regarding them and learn their each move. Understand your idol and understand them and picture them in every decision of your life. Remember one thing that picture them but don't become like them (here is the thin line between the two types). Be yourself!
4. Be yourself
This is the biggest step which generally people forget when they start following other people. Remember they are not you and you are not them and that is the fact you should understand. If you loose yourself in your journey of following someone else then buddy trust me it’s not taking you anywhere because your industry needs you and not another ‘Your Idol’.
These four steps are the basic guide in taking help of someone else in your life to reach where you want. People have many more and much less steps also but these four are my confident points for the topic. Of course you don’t have only 1-2 followers in your life, you have thousands because you learn something from someone everyday. Try following them once and lets see if I was of any use to you, if yes then mail me and I would love to hear your story and if not then also mail me I would love to follow you to learn more in this short life. If you liked it then share it with the people you learned something from.
BuBye!
