1. You must take time to know yourself
Strip away your job title, social status, and any other external labels people often associate themselves with…
Who the hell is [insert your name] and what do you stand for?
Being able to answer these questions can change your life drastically.
Various studies suggest self-aware people are more confident and creative.
They also make better decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively.
Other studies reveal that when you know who you are, you’re much less likely to lie, cheat, and steal because what’s the point?
You’re not trying to please anyone, so you’re less stressed about what people think of you — if that means you have to hurt a few people’s feelings from time to time, then it’s for the best.
Knowing who you are is the secret to finding purpose and meaning.
The best way to start your journey of self-discovery is to start journaling.
In your journal, examine your thoughts, reactions, and actions.
Try to get to the root of why you do what you do.
Slowly but surely, a clearer image of yourself will form in your mind.
Strip away everything that doesn’t serve you and double down on the things that make you a better person.
