How well do I know Myself!!!!
Do I really know myself???
My strengths and my weaknesses???
My likes and dislikes???
Do I have the wisdom to understand myself to be able to compete with myself ???
Can I jot down my tendencies especially the negative ones???
Muster up the will and the courage and do it.
You will be surprised that first on the list will appear control issues.
Most of us today face tremendous control issues; children as well as adults. Maybe at home, at work, in school, everywhere. The tendency to correct or be judgemental of others is one example. We want everything done our way. When the opposite party fails to think and act like us, we get angry and frustrated. Fury and rage grips us.
Expectations from others, such as wanting them to ask whether we need help in our work or the inability to allocate work to others and ultimately end up doing most of the work oneself, leads to mental and physical fatigue.
We also like honesty in everything but fail to realise that not everyone is honest. White lies, partial truths and full time liars exist.
Am I kind hearted or sometimes cruel???
Am I poverty conscious???
Am I able to enjoy the now or worried about the future???
These are preliminary questions we need to answer in order to successfully know ourselves.
The list is endless.
With this process of inquiry, begins our journey of self-discovery.
Of knowing yourself in and out.
Let us begin today...
