Self Awareness is the key to success. If you do not know yourself well enough you are on the losing end of the spectrum in life. Highly sought after successful people swear by this thing as the key factor in their success.
The reason being if we do not know ourselves well enough, in the difficult times we are more likely to give up. Since, there is a chance that we go with something that we think we love but we actually do not and the true color is shown to us in times of extreme hardships.
Every one of us should spend some time in discovering ourselves. Getting to know what we live for, what it is we wake up every single day for.
For example, I wake up every day super excited to be able to learn more about marketing, psychology and that excitement of being able to help more and more people gets me going every single day. It is that drive that helps me go through the difficult times and help all the people I help and aim to help even more.
It was not easy to come to this conclusion and this decision, I am 23 and it took me more than 6 years to actually be able to realize what it is I truly like and am passionate about. Only if I had spent some time on figuring that out earlier, I would have been 18 or 19 now.
I highly encourage every one of you to go find your own voice, spend some time on asking people around you about what it is they feel about you and ask them to be brutally honest about the feedback. Then be brutally honest with yourself and give yourself a feedback of where you are as compared to where the people you idolize. That might get you started.
