know yourself

Do you know who you are?

In order for anyone to feel satisfied or successful you need to know who you are and what you could become.

Who do you think knows you best? Is it your mother, or you wife/husband, or maybe your best friend. No, it’s you. What everyone else knows about you and know who you are, is only the reflection of you. How you act, react or respond to your surroundings. You can be ordinary or extraordinary. Just like raindrops reflecting sunlight creating a beautiful rainbow, or just ordinary raindrops not reflecting at all.
Learn to know yourself

Caught this tonight on my way home :-)

 

What if you would try to change your reflection for a week.

  • Give a little smile to everyone you meet
  • Talk less about yourself
  • Show genuine interest for other people
  • Really listen when people talk, without interrupting them
  • Try to help out whenever you have the possibility
  • Be grateful and think about all the good and beautiful things around you.

 

How do you think that would change your reflection? And how could it change you?

Or maybe you can try it for two weeks, every habit takes two weeks to become natural. You can read more about habits in my post 30-day challenge

But the key here are as always to be consistent. Life goes up and down, and so does your mood. Some days you feel sad, some worthless. Then tell yourself in front of the mirror that you are great and smile. If possible make it a laugh. To make it even more powerful, think about things that you are proud of. You may cheat by writing a list when your mood is better :-)

Who are you really? The one who complains and blame others, or the one taking responsibility for your own actions and circumstances?

Can you become someone better than you are today. Can you become the rainbow?

You need to know who you are and what you can become

Take care, and grow
