At that moment, I jump onto the stage, take the microphone and scream it loud how people are deceived, how their life is just a number for the government. Then they appreciate me, endless applause and greetings. My name is everywhere as a hero and the system of the world would change for good. (it didn’t)
In that moment, I say ‘stop’ to my boss. ‘That is enough’. Then we take the support of others in the company and get the management. After some time, the company becomes the world leader in its field. (it didn’t)
I should have said and he would never do it again. (nope, couldn’t say)
I guess, everybody had similar situation and thought in mind. You believe that if you could, would do something, result would be different but you stepped back and only your thoughts and ‘what if’ scenarios were left behind. Why?
The most important is how you felt after stepping back. Were there thousands of possibilities in the mind that you could do?
Another related question is how would you like to be perceived and be known? Do you really think that you deserve to be seen like that? What kind of impression would you like to give to the people?
You don’t have to be who you are now or you don’t have to seem who you really are. The most important is to know how you are and how you would like to be.
I wrote in the previous posts that our real self is actually the result of our experiences and environment although the essence of our character is there. Therefore, we can be different people in other circumstances and other places. Perhaps, you have already noticed how people are changing after they travel or move to another country. Sometimes, even your diet changes your personality completely. This is the exact point I would like to write about.
The border of self, the person you would like to be, and the person you can be is drawn by your environment, self-esteem, and living standards. I should also mention that, while I am telling you about a person you would like to be, I do not mean people around 35 who want to be a football star or the most well-known CEO in the world.
As I wrote before, there are many things in life that are not dependent on us but also many things that we can change. The main points about the questions above are:
- Be objective with yourself and be a realist:
This is the main idea of knowing yourself and being successful. Know your place, know your conditions, and set a proper goal accordingly. To reach success begins with setting a correct aim.
2. Give an effort
You are not a wine that gets better results in time. Actually, wine has also many processes to reach that end beauty. If there is someone who will give this effort on your behalf of you, then probably you live in Buckingham Palace. If not, you should give that effort to yourself.
3. Superman
A cloak and learning to fly don’t make you superman. You should come from Krypton. Therefore, aiming to be Ironman, Batman is more realistic. You can be also an ordinary citizen, it is not bad, You will have less stress in life.
That’s enough for today. This was the first chapter of knowing yourself- According to book, this was the first month- Next chapter will be about your past. Pain, trauma, sorrow, regret, happiness, gratitude, pride, joy… whatever feeling you have, you will try to call it back and analyze.
