Everyone always says you have to find your "Niche". Well what is that supposed to mean? What if I missed my Niche? What if I gave my Niche idea to someone else? What if I never figure out what my Niche is?
All legitimate and logical questions, but everyone does not have a Niche to focus on or find. Sure we all have our talents, and sure we all have our passions. But will we find a Niche in those? Doubtful. I love music, ask anyone who knows me, but I will not become the greatest Producer to ever walk the face of the earth. I can however use my passion and find something that I am great at, even if it is the Niche of someone else.
Now I am not saying we will all be bums living off of anothers dream, do not miss what I am trying to say. My point is that if we spend all of our time looking for our Niche, we will miss the opportunities to thrive in another position. If you have a Niche that you love and can corner a market, by all means run with it. I hope I find mine, but I do not think that spending our valuable time trying to find that Niche is smart.
My advice to you, if you cared, is to take the time you have and find something you love to do. Life is too short to waste it at a job you hate, or with people you do not get along with. Take the precious time you are given and utilize it with your family and friends, do not waste it looking for the Niche area that everyone tells you to find. You might just miss something much better.

Not sure I ever thought I was trying to find my "niche" but often doing what we find enjoyable leads us in a direction where we just "all of a sudden" realize that "hey, this comes easy to me and I'm actually good at it!". In other words, we just fall into it without making a concerted effort. So I totally agree that we should spend our energy with people and activities that make our life pleasant..and fun...and give us a feeling of worth. Somewhere along the way our "niche" will become apparent to us.
That's my 2 cents worth. :-)
