"People-scanners": how to find his destiny to someone who likes to try new things

Imagine a person who is constantly changing areas of interest: first, he became interested in acting, Then he suddenly became interested in the study of languages, then archeology, real estate, and, in general, how to play in these Bongo?! If this person reminds you of yourself, congratulations: you're a typical "scanner." What is it and how to live with it - says Barbara Sher, one of the top motivational speakers in the world.

What happens?

So, you're a natural born "Scanner" - a person who enjoys the diversity around us. Often people crawlers feel that the time rushes past, and they have not achieved anything yet. Do not become a professional in anything. It seems to have five minutes to an expert in one area, and then begins to be interested in the other. Peers who have less and talents, and capabilities have advanced far ahead, and "Scanner" still stands at the start.

If so - you just may not realize that to be a "scanner" - a worthy vocation. This talent is the key to a good life.

"Scanners" want to try everything. They are equally enthusiastic study flower structure and theory of music. They love to travel and are interested in politics. For "scanners" Universe - is a treasure trove, where millions of works of art are stored, and hardly enough life to see them all.

Because in our culture valued specialization and determination, we too often think that "scanners" - people who just do not want to work as it should and scattered small things. This stereotype.

Get everything at once

Often, the only problem "scanners" - to find a job where you can use their specific talent. Tests for career guidance are generally useless for the "scanners". It takes time and ingenuity to find a niche for them - a job that will accommodate all of their multiple interests. But the results are worth it.

"Scanners" may be poets, a documentary filmmaker, traveler, excellent sellers, good managers and teachers. And even combine several of these roles simultaneously.

Get all series

Scanners are often distracted, in particular, because the awful hurry. But hurry, because:

• time is longer than it seems;
• haste is counterproductive;
• "Fever Time" spoils life. It is a kind of hysteria, because of which all feel that you need every minute to do something important for the future. Do not give in to it. I have time. And it accurately enough for you to understand yourself and find their vocation (or several vocations simultaneously).

Time much more than you imagine. You will get everything if you are calm and consistent.

Some exercises for typical "scanner"

1. ten lives

If you had 10 lives, how would you dispose of them? Take a pencil and paper and write down what would you do in each of these lives. If you head over 10 professions, please! Do not limit yourself in anything. And now let's look at this list. It may look like a poet, a musician, a successful entrepreneur, scholar sinologist, chef at the gourmet restaurant, a traveler, a gardener, a husband and father, a journalist, talk show host.

Fine! Not necessarily choose one profession. Soon you will find a way to live each of these lives.

2. available time

Quickly answer the following questions about each of your lives. Do not hesitate too long. Write down the first thing that comes to mind. (You can use the same life a few times.)

What a life you would give in 2016? What kind of life will live a second? What you can do every day to 20 (or fewer) minutes? And what - on weekends? What you can do from time to time?

By answering these questions, you will get a more realistic picture of how people are doing different things, if they are "men of the Renaissance", similar to you. Maybe you stop to think in terms of "either - or": "How can I give up everything and devote himself to poetry, and to learn Chinese, and to play the violin, to more time left on business and travels? Yes, and even learn to cook gourmet cuisine and to do gardening? "

Here's how: it is not necessary to devote himself to poetry. Just write poetry.

Write one line before going to bed, and suddenly you unexpectedly wake up very early with a desire to write more. If you capture a poem, set aside everything else. And after a few days you will finish it. And then, perhaps, you do not want to write poetry for another month. When you take violin lessons? How about next summer?

The idea is that you can manage everything, if schedule correctly.

If you want to start a business, but also to see the world, you can combine it or realize consistently: is now a business, then travel.

3. Make marketable three-year plan

Many "Scanner" it seems that the time is very short, and if you do not do something now, then in the future will not have time. Relax: time enough for all your many "life". You have more time than you think.

In order to calm down, you need to create a marketable plan for three years. Once you understand that, you can step by step to conquer new life, you calm down.

4. Draw a map of your life

Look back at your past. Probably, the map of your life looks like this: In 2008 you do backpacking, in 2009 you fascinated antiques, in 2010, you began to play the violin, and in 2011 settled on the radio and so on. One year you went to the movies all the time, and then two years did not go at all? You know, maybe this is the most correct way to live. We must learn to respect the wisdom of their natural instincts because they allow you to perfectly fit into the life of everything that you need.

And the last tip,

If you realize that you still are a "scanner," Do not do anything to change yourself. Do not think that it is necessary to break itself under the requests of the world. It is better to think about how to make a living, to enter into it your many talents.
