Understanding yourself

Why is it that so many think they know others when they don't even know themselves?

If someone says, "who are you." what would you answer.

It's not your work, because that is what you do.

Just as it takes time to get to know others, so too it takes time to get to know yourself. If you dig deep enough you'll meet your true self. Not the facades that have been built up over a lifetime. 

Taking that inner journey can be tough, but it is well worth it as it allows the real you to go into the world and be present anywhere, with anyone, any time.

That is true freedom.

That freedom allows performance rather than existing or simply functioning.

It allows you to be 'present' which leads to stronger and closer relationships.

Meaning a much better quality of life.

So is it time to discover who you really are?

A Day In The Life.

There are times when we get into the flow of things and everything seems to just click. 

It happens when we are making progress and as a fellow author observed this afternoon, as you complete each little task that leads to the goal everything becomes easier.

First there is the task itself, then learning what it take to get it done and acting on that understanding.

Sometimes it may mean stopping and learning how  a part of the process works.  The beauty of this is that a skill learned makes future tasks easier and more efficient.

This process of refinement can lead to more time available to pursue other objectives or invest in the things that are meaningful in life, like families.

So each day the objective should be to learn to be more effective and efficient which can either be self taught or directed by a coach or a mentor.

What objectives will you set for today and tomorrow that will make your life easier and more meaningful?
