YOU MUST KNOW YOURSELF BEFORE KNOWING SUCCESS
WHO are you? WHAT are your strengths? Weaknesses? What is important to you? Who is important to you? Do you KNOW what success (for you) looks like? These are all questions the (soon to be) successful person must ask themselves before they embark on their journey to GREATNESS. To understand the person you are and your gifts will help you lay out a road map to get to where you need to go in a more efficient (and less frustrating) way.
SUCCESS IS A RELATIVE TERM
Success to an entrepreneur may be to obtain a lot of MONEY. Success to a loving mother may be to provide phenomenal CARE for her family. What is it to you? Before you can figure out how to get to the GOAL you must know what it looks like. It is absolutely imperative that you look within yourself enough to DEFINE your version of success.
HOW WILL YOU USE YOUR STRENGTHS TO GET THERE?
So you know your goal and you are all ready to DOMINATE the world… great, so how will you achieve it? Many people make the mistake of emulating others in order to obtain their version o success. When emulating others may be a good strategy for some you must make sure to realize that their strengths are not your OWN. You are your own unique individual with specific GIFTS just as they are; meaning, what worked for them is not guaranteed to work for you. Make sure to take an inventory of the things you excel in and try to use them in ways that PROGRESS you towards your goals. A hammer is better at being a hammer than a screw driver.
THINK WELL. ACHIEVE MORE. LIVE BETTER.
This is a very brilliant post. Knowing yourself plays a big role in being able to protect yourself, to build yourself and to explore yourself, soany people limit themselves to things they know withouth trying out other new things that they might be talented at. Exploring yourself is a good way to get the most out of life.
True that man. And a screw driver is a bad waffle iron. Trust me I know.
