To achieve success in life, one must first know oneself.
Have you ever noticed, that the most successful and happy persons are the ones
who know what they want out of life. On the other hand, if you take a look at the
majority of people whose lives are not going anywhere, and the question begs to
be answered, as to why?
In life it is important to know ones likes and dislikes, in
everything! From the food we eat, to the career we choose. Why? Because how
would you like to do a job which you hated all of your life? Or be stuck in a
relationship that is dead and not working out? The trick to achieving success in life is to
think about what you want to have in any area of life you decide to succeed in,
before you take a step that one day you may regret!
Life is not hard if we make the right choices for ourselves,
but those choices are personal and must match up with whatever it is we want to
achieve for ourselves in life. No one can know what you want for yourself out
of life but you, and you will get what you want out of life only, if you have a clear mind
of exactly what it is you wish to achieve.
So go ahead and get out a sheet of paper, and then make a list out of all the
things you would like and dislike, in a relationship. Now how about doing another list
for a job? Things that you would consider for example, in a relationship or in
a job are up to you. This is your life, be sure to put the things you would
like in a relationship on one side of the sheet and the things you wouldn’t
want in a relationship on the other. Now do the same with a job, write the things you would
like to have in a job on one side and the things you would not want on the other.
You may be surprised to find out that you are barely
starting to know yourself! This simple exercise is the barely the beginning of learning to
know oneself!
