A core life principle is to know yourself.
Businesses spend a lot of time and money itemizing inventory, itemizing assets, creating capability maps, understanding strengths and weaknesses so that they can be competitive.
As individuals, we should do the same.
We are our biggest asset. Everything else can come and go, but understanding who we are and what we can do is key.
- Take the time to understand yourself
- What is our personality
- What are our strengths and weaknesses
- What are our capabilities
- Who are the people in our life we can count on
- What do we want
- What makes us happy
Having the answers to these questions gives us the background to make effective life decisions.
