We always underestimate our own ability to be able to come up with an inner inventory of our in-built and learned skills to see the vision through till the end. So, let’s take some time and ponder over the next few points and I believe that you would be able to envision yourself as competent in all these skills or atleast a few. This will surely encourage you to trust your abilities more to carry on.

• Foremost, is the skill of ‘Decision making’, which is the process of coming up with choices by identifying a cross road ahead, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions. Using a step-by-step decision-making process can help you make more deliberate, thoughtful decisions by organising relevant information and defining alternatives in visioning .

• Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualising, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.

• Public speaking, also called oratory or oration, has traditionally meant the act of speaking face to face to a live audience.

• Self-management is about finding the self-control and mastery needed to take control of one’s work e.g., to manage one’s time, workflow, and communication, management by oneself of one’s affairs.

• Net-working between persons – A good networker has two ears and one mouth and should use them each proportionately. Listen to people’s needs and concerns and find opportunities to help them. You can’t help others if you don’t know what they need, and you find out what they need by listening.

• Creative writing is writing to create life and breath that makes things up, rather than writing that is academic or technical.

• To mature in self confidence, set goals. If you don’t know what you’re aiming for, how do you plan to get there?  Practice self-control.

A word of caution, maybe you judge yourself and have started procrastinating altogether. However, to keep going on, don’t judge the progress and future of your vision based on your present conditions, because time has the power to change any black coal to a shiny diamond.

You can only see part of the big picture and God knows how to complete it.
