Knowing yourself means understanding your strengths and weaknesses, your passions and fears, and your desires and dreams. It means recognizing your habits and peculiarities, your likes and dislikes, your tolerances and limits. To know yourself means to know the meaning of life.
It will sooner or later become clear that you do not know yourself. A quiet frustration that lives in you when you don't know yourself. You can choose to live with it and ignore it, or you can find it for yourself.
If you're not sure if you know yourself well, follow these simple steps:
1. Know your personality
Understanding your own personality is the first key. You have a collective opinion of others about what one aspect is.
They also have their own database of information about who you really are and who you are at your private and public moments.
2. Know Your Core Values
Your Core Values are important moral norms and principles for you. When I work with clients, the first thing I do before a coaching session is to ask for a list of their eight most important core values.
Perhaps there are more than eight values, but the top eight play a major role in decision making, influence, persuasiveness, conflict resolution, communication, and life shaping.
What are the values you can never compromise on in your work, your home, or any area of your life? These are your core values.
3. Know your body
Have you ever said "I can't do my body" and "I can't do my body shape" without a physical challenge? Take a look at them before closing the door to great opportunities. Take the time to really get intimate with your own body, the most beautiful temple in the world.
4. Know your dreams
Your dreams and hopes will shape your future path. They help you build a proud life.
Your dream is important. Your dream is important. It's worth pursuing your dreams. Don't underestimate.
And get to know your dreams well. Understand the details and special features.
If you want to be a musician, ask yourself. Which instrument do you play? What level of knowledge do you want to learn? How much part of your life do you have? And until you know everything about your dreams.
Make your dreams part of your daily activities. Take them seriously. Work on them. Give them glory, not hide or be ashamed.
