What makes you extraordinary: Change Yourself for Better, Pursue your Passion

We might live in similar looking houses, have similar jobs, and dress in a similar way, but if you polled everyone with, “Do you consider yourself unique?” you can be sure the answer would be a resounding, “Yes!”
“Always remember that you are all absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” - Margaret Mead

As ironic as this quote sounds what really differentiates us in the end is the “you” inside. Your unique identity, your unique values, interests, abilities, and actions. As much as we are alike, it is this distinction that gives each of us the power to be an individual.
Recessions and economic uncertainty have created a market environment that is highly competitive.

It’s now commonplace to find multiple people pursuing a single opportunity only to be funneled through a tight sieve, rejected, and back in a large pool of job seekers. So, more than ever, the power of your individuality is essential. You need to bring in your passion somewhere to succeed in this rat race. Your passion could be one tool that determines your market survival.

Reinventing yourself is essential

Your inherent potential doing things differently is what differentiates you from your peers and competition. It is what makes you instantly recognizable in the minds of others. It’s what makes you memorable. With this in mind, it might be prudent to spend some time thinking about your Uniqueness. Think about your strengths, your passions, and even your weaknesses, but have your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) meet the following criteria.

1. Superior Skills and Attributes

Choose to highlight skills that you’ve mastered and that are at least competitive but preferably outrank those of your peers. Once you identify your skills, hone them with the explicit goal of attaining expertise. How are you hardwired? More often than not if you’re hardwired to perform a certain skill, it will become your passion, and your passion can lead to specialization. If you can discover early in your life the ability to excel in your particular skill, this would surely help your personality grow stupendously. Becoming an expertise at your known skill will reward you many opportunities as you grow up in your career ladder.

2. Consistency

Your USP should be consistent with your values and personality. It should not be a recent hobby or something for which you might soon lose interest. It should be your long-term passion. Your consistency will be evident and be reflected in the quality of your work. If for example you are good at computer programming skills, it would be worthwhile to impart your knowledge to fellow programmers or giving some free lectures in group meet ups. This would had value and consistency to your USP. You would certainly rank very high in peer network.

3. Authenticity

Your USP must be based on your strengths. It will be authentic if it reflects who you are and what you love to do. Do not fake it! Build something that is completely real and mirrors your core values. Anything short of authenticity will be unsustainable. Credibility is most important in this world of high social presence. Each word you say or action reflects on your social stranding which in turn decide your image. Never try to be what you are not. Accept yourself as you are. Identifying your USP will help you become self-aware, while you define your professional image. Self awareness about your self is of paramount importance, this makes your living worthwhile on this planet. No amount of persuasion will help you if you don’t understand your purpose and existence. And doing things accordingly will help everyone and will also boost your self esteem. It may be the most important step toward your personality evolution.
