Know yourself

Everyday, we take time out of our busy schedules to learn the lyrics of a new song, to learn a new dance, we go to school for many years to study art, music, medicine, business, Agriculture …..the list is endless. We even go ahead to study our friends , our partners, our pets, employees and employers, but rarely, if ever do we take time to Know/Learn/Study ourselves. Our behaviours, our traits, our habits, our passions 

Learning ourselves and how we operate helps us to live in society very easily. It helps us to relate with people, it prepares us for how we should behave in what circumstances and many times, it helps us save ourselves from emotional, psychological and even physical torture. When we know how we operate, then rarely will we blame ourselves. 

Studying ourselves doesn’t really take Much. Just those 5 minutes everyday before you sleep. Thinking about how you spent the day, how you treated the people you encountered, your attitude towards everything, your judgement. And remember this should be done with complete honesty. You should be able to judge yourself correctly without having to think that the other party is always at fault and that we are right.

When you have not studied yourself, then you will put yourself to believe everything you are told about you. The world has very many people with different world views and if everyone is to load you with their views, my friend,  we will get deceived. People will lie to us and this can get ugly. Low esteem, low mood, depression, confusion,…..name it.

Take some time off today , tomorrow and everyday to learn something about yourself.
