The starting point of establishing our goals is knowing our true identity. One of the first serious steps for successful living starts with the realization of one’s strong and weak points, the understanding of values, and the identification of passions.
We tend to make better choices when we recognize ourselves and are self-aware; this means that it allows us to set a goal in accordance with our values. When our values and goals are aligned, this creates clarity and motivation to focus and stay on course.
Let’s take some time to reflect on our experiences and what they’ve taught us. I find that journaling is a great way to do this. Writing down my thoughts and feelings about what I love and the challenges I face reveals patterns and insights that help me understand my motivations.
And while around us, it is important to have people who are supportive and encouraging toward our growth. Each moment of persuading others to engage us in candid conversation, which opposes our perspectives, enables our thoughts for a deeper awareness.
The more we find time to deliberate about ourselves, the more equipped we shall become to navigate through our life.
Always keep in mind that self-discovery is continual. Let’s embrace this idea and we shall see how it leads us to that success we have always wished for. So let us begin the day with a few questions, Who am I and what do I really want?
