Why Its Important To Know Yourself
The only person who travels with you through your entire life (outside of God) is you. It\u2019s you (and God) from the cradle to the grave. Therefore, it\u2019s important that you take time to really get to know who you are. \n\nThe three most important reasons for self-knowledge:\n\n1). Self-love. If you know yourself the good, the bad, and the ugly, you can start to accept who you are exactly as you are. It may be a challenge to accept some aspects of our lives that we don\u2019t perceive as positive, but we must accept them as we begin to make changes. You can deny the parts of your life you don\u2019t like all you want to, but they won\u2019t go away. In other words, love who you are until you get where you want to be. \n\n2). Independence. Self-knowledge makes you independent of the opinions of other people. If you know what works for you, what is good for you and, what isn\u2019t \u2013 it\u2019s irrelevant what others might think of you. You are the expert of your own being. You oversee your thoughts, and you are your own personality. Independence and self-awareness are also linked to confidence. By knowing who you are and what you stand for in life, it can help to give you a strong sense of self-confidence.\n \n3). Clear Decision Making. As we know, with knowledge comes insight and confidence and this can make the decision-making process much easier. There isn\u2019t a lot of space for doubt once you have gained that full insight. We all speak two languages: the language of the heart and that of the head. If they are aligned, it\u2019s easy to make decisions. But if they aren\u2019t, your mood will decide what\u2019s right or wrong.\n\nExample: You are going on a date and the person you\u2019re going out with, looks good, smells good and has all the qualities you are looking for in a man or woman. However, there is something about the person that doesn\u2019t quite sit well with you. You aren\u2019t sure what it is, but it doesn\u2019t feel right. Something is telling you that he or she is either married or seeing someone else, but you have no real proof. Having two different dialogues makes it impossible to be clear. Today your head is ruling, and you want to see that person, but tomorrow your heart may be telling you not to go on that date. Now you must align your head and heart so that you get clarity, in order to support easy decision making.\n\nQuote: It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong. - Thomas Sowell\n\nBe the reason someone feels welcomed, seen, heard, loved, and supported! As you do that, go out there and be great, because great is calling you and great is calling me. Be blessed, have an amazing day on purpose, and we will talk again next week.\n\nContact Me:\nLinktree: https://linktr.ee/coachchelle\n\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support
