Know Yourself
Struggling with who you are and what you want to become, is a diverstating blow we receive each time we get in contact with that thinking. It's not something we often want to think about, it just happens. Somepeople say know your limits, know your worth,think big, act revolutionary, be tenacious,think different, dare your self.Yes! These are all inspiringly motivational,they are like to a deer panting for water, they are like the rain that falls on the soil,they are like the sea breeze so soothing you could fall asleep.They are pleasing, but the real truth is we just want to hear them over and over again, it's what we've always known and seen,some we felt.Alas! It is what we subconsciously,always want to hear.Like falling down and applying a balm to a wound and taking a scoop of ice cream to calm our nerve as if we are little babies.
Knowing what you are goes a long way to building your self esteem, believing in your self, and standing strong when tough times arrive, believe me they always come that's one of the things that makes the world go round and round.
A successful person won't tell you in vivid details the suffering he went through or the steps he took to where he is. Maybe if you share a personal relationship or you read their biographies which isnot cheap when purchased.No? But bear in mind they have a word or a sentence for everything; be your self, don't be selfish,inner peace,all izz well, keep holding on.
Hmm, after all they are successful, so what else could you expect they tell you.Even the books you read don't do much but create factual ideas in your mind, you , depend whether you buy and whether it might work.
Somedays ago,My friends and I went assessed a study on applying the SMART (S-specific, M-measurable, A-attainable, R-reliable, T-timeconscious)rule to attaining a goal ,this to my knowledge only helped in applying a form of mathematical equation for whether the goal is worth your time or not.
Look, you are going to get to a great place, define great in your own words.All the scripture verses,series of advise,books, motivational talks you hear, only calls for your application, but you do all the work yourself.Be it praying, brainstorming, running ideas, capitalizing, reading, you dig? just to mention a few.
So it's in your hands,it all depends on you, somepeople know this and this brings loads of pressure,but If you already know yourself for what it is, you won't be under much pressure,you will dive in and stand your footing.Who really knows you? Me! Your friends and family! Nah I don't think so.You are in the best position to know yourself and if you don't, you need alot of soul searching my friend.
As for me, God knows me and I know him, at least to some extent.He make me to understand what I am, and will be.
I know these are just words at least they are soothing,ahaha don't you think.

Excellent piece dearie 😘
